Foil highlights are a versatile way to enhance your hair color while maintaining a natural, multi-dimensional look.
What Are Foil Highlights?
Foil highlights are a hair coloring technique in which sections of hair are painted with lightener or color and wrapped in foils to isolate them from the rest of the hair. This method allows for precise control over the placement of highlights, creating natural-looking brightness and dimension. Foils help the color process more evenly and keep the lightened strands separate from the rest of the hair, resulting in a clean, vibrant finish.
Why Choose Foil Highlights at Harlow?
Customizable Results
Our foil highlights are fully customizable based on your hair goals. Whether you want subtle brightness around your face or bold, contrasting highlights throughout your hair, our skilled stylists tailor each highlight service to suit your personal style and preferences.
Perfect for All Hair Types
Foil highlights are suitable for all hair types and textures. Whether you have straight, curly, thick, or fine hair, our stylists will work with you to ensure the best results for your unique hair.
Precise, Even Color Application
Foils allow for precise application of color or lightener, ensuring consistent results with even coverage. The foils also help prevent overlapping color, so you get clean, crisp highlights that blend seamlessly with your natural hair.
Long-Lasting Dimension
With proper care, foil highlights can last for several months. Our stylists provide aftercare recommendations to help you maintain the vibrancy of your highlights between salon visits.
How long do foil highlights last?
Foil highlights typically last 8-12 weeks, depending on your hair growth and the level of contrast between your natural hair color and the highlights. As your roots grow in, you may want to schedule touch-ups to maintain the brightness and dimension.
Are foil highlights damaging to my hair?
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.
How do foil highlights differ from balayage?
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.
Can I get foil highlights if I have dark hair?
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.
How long does the foil highlight process take?
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.
How should I care for my hair after getting foil highlights?
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.
Can foil highlights be combined with other coloring techniques?
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.
The Foil Highlight Process at Harlow
Your foil highlight experience at Harlow begins with a consultation where our expert stylists discuss your hair goals and assess your hair type, condition, and color history. We’ll recommend the best placement and tone of highlights to complement your natural hair color and desired look.
During the application, sections of your hair will be painted with lightener or color and wrapped in foils. This process helps to isolate the highlights, ensuring even color processing and a crisp, dimensional result. Once the desired lightness is achieved, we rinse, tone, and style your hair to perfection.
