What the service includes
This service places foils throughout the entire head while the stylist performs a root touch up in between each foil. The combined steps are intended to create an even, dimensional finish or to cover grey where needed. The sequence ensures roots are addressed as highlights are placed rather than as a separate follow-up step.
Clients choose a full highlight when they want consistent brightness or contrast from crown to ends, or when grey coverage must be blended across many sections. The method suits a range of textures—clients with natural curls have reported successful, flattering results when placement and processing were adapted for their hair.
How results are shaped
The final look depends on foil placement, the contrast chosen between base and highlight, and how the root touch up is blended between foils. Your stylist spaces foils and matches root color to create either strong contrast or a softer, natural appearance. The stylist evaluates hair history and current color to decide where dimension will read best.
Season and local lifestyle affect choices: many Lexington clients book full dimensional color for early summer and the holidays, which is reflected in our busiest months (May, Jun, Nov, Dec). Expect your stylist to discuss maintenance needs and scheduling to keep the look fresh through seasonal humidity and routine styling.
Preparing and aftercare tips
Bring reference photos and come prepared to discuss how much root coverage you want versus blended dimension, since those choices affect tone and placement. Plan for a 150 MINUTES appointment so you can allocate time during a lunch break or after work—our Regency-area location near Hamburg Pavilion is convenient for local commuters.
After your appointment, your stylist will recommend at-home care and a follow-up plan tailored to your lifestyle. Many clients find color-safe shampoos and occasional professional toning help preserve the highlights; your stylist will advise timing for future root touch ups based on your growth pattern and desired maintenance.
