Foil Highlighting Services

When done by a professional, foil highlights are safe and cause minimal damage to your hair. At Harlow, we use high-quality lighteners and conditioning treatments to keep your hair healthy and strong throughout the coloring process. We also recommend at-home treatments to maintain moisture and strength after your service.

Foil highlights involve wrapping hair in foils for precise color placement, which gives a more structured, uniform look. Balayage, on the other hand, is a freehand technique that creates a more natural, blended appearance. Foil highlights are ideal for clients who want a high-contrast look or more control over color placement, while balayage is better for soft, sun-kissed looks.

Yes! Foil highlights work beautifully on dark hair, creating contrast and dimension. Our stylists will work with you to achieve the perfect level of brightness while maintaining the health and integrity of your hair.

The process for foil highlights typically takes 2-4 hours, depending on your hair length, thickness, and the level of highlight placement desired. During the appointment, our stylist will carefully apply foils and allow the color to process before washing, toning, and styling your hair.

To maintain the vibrancy of your foil highlights, we recommend:

• Using sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for color-treated hair.
• Minimizing heat styling and always using a heat protectant when styling with hot tools.
• Scheduling regular deep conditioning treatments to keep your hair hydrated and healthy. Our stylists will provide you with personalized aftercare instructions to ensure your highlights stay fresh and vibrant for as long as possible.

Absolutely! Many clients combine foil highlights with techniques like root shadowing or lowlights for added dimension and depth. Our stylists can customize a multi-dimensional color service based on your desired outcome.
