Half Head Highlights at The Vintage Avenue in Biggleswade offer a refined approach to adding brightness and dimension to your hair. This service involves applying light-reflecting foils through the top and sides, enhancing your natural colour with a subtle lift. It's an excellent choice for those seeking a fresh, radiant look without a full head commitment.

Who is this service for?

Ideal for clients desiring a natural-looking enhancement, Half Head Highlights are perfect for:

  • Blending grey hairs seamlessly
  • Adding brightness around the face and crown
  • Maintaining a polished appearance with less frequent salon visits

This service suits various hair types and is tailored to individual preferences.

How long does it take?

The appointment typically lasts 45 minutes, including:

  • Personalised consultation
  • Application of foils
  • Processing time

What is the process?

Your stylist will begin with a consultation to understand your desired outcome. Fine sections of hair are then carefully foiled on the top and sides. After achieving the desired lift, an optional toner may be recommended to refine the colour, followed by a nourishing treatment and a blow-dry to finish.

How often should I book?

To maintain the vibrancy and blend of your highlights, it's recommended to schedule appointments every 8 to 10 weeks. Toner refreshes between appointments can help sustain the desired tone.

    Cannot recommend enough. So much care and attention throughout. At the consultation Sydney made sure she completely understood what I liked and honestly advised what would suit me to ensure I would be happy with the result. She exceeded my expectations with the end result, I’m so happy with my hair, beautifully blended and suits my colouring. Was so well looked after during my colour and cut was so pampering. Also advised on products to help my hair for aftercare. Thank you so much

    Can’t recommend The Vintage Avenue highly enough! Everyone there is SO welcoming and lovely. Want to especially mention Jayne and Chloe who were so fab to chat to and did the best job of my hair - have never been so pleased with the colour after years of trying to achieve a certain blonde! They both took their time to really understand what I wanted and looking forward to my next appointment 😊

    Just visited the lovely team at Vintage Avenue. The very talented Chloe has been blending my greys — not hiding them and I’ve walked out with the prettiest silver hair. I absolutely LOVE it! 😍

    Chloe has been my colourist for years, and I never knew it was possible to have the perfect hair experience every single time! She understands not just my hair, but my lifestyle too. I always leave with a smile and a bounce in my step. ☺️

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between half head and full head highlights?
Half head highlights focus on the top, crown and sides, leaving more of the underneath natural. Full head highlights cover the whole head for a lighter, more uniform result.
Will half head highlights help blend greys?
They can soften the look of greys through the parting and hairline by reducing contrast. If you need stronger grey coverage, you may be advised to combine highlights with a root colour.
How often do half head highlights need maintenance?
Most people refresh half head highlights every 8 to 12 weeks, depending on how fast their hair grows and how bright they like it. A toner refresh in between can help keep the colour looking balanced.
Can I go much lighter with half head highlights in one appointment?
It depends on your starting colour, previous colour history, and hair condition. If you are aiming for a significant lift, it may be better achieved over more than one visit to protect the hair.
Do I need an allergy alert test before highlights?
If you are new to hair colour, have had a reaction before, or have not had colour for a while, you may need an allergy alert test. Your stylist will confirm what is required when you book.
