Ever spot hair inspo pics with perfect ribbons of blonde, caramel or copper peeking through? That’s often foils doing the work. Hair foils are essentially a way to isolate sections of hair and apply colour with more precision. Unlike all-over colour, they let hairdressers place shades exactly where they pop best or blend naturally.

If your hair is naturally dark or you're after a bright lift with minimal grow-out lines, foils can deliver depth and brightness without compromising your hair's integrity. You can go subtle, statement or somewhere in between minus harsh regrowth or flat tones that come with block colour.

Clients after hair foils often come to our Melbourne CBD salon wanting a bright lift or a softer glow that still looks lived in. A full head foils session is ideal when you want an even, luminous result through the whole head from roots to ends or want to achieve consistent lightness from root to tip. Half head foils focus on the top, both side, and hairline areas - perfect for refreshing existing highlights, blending previous colour work, or softening regrowth while keeping depth underneath. Face framing foils can be done as a separate service. We also offer balayage, which is best if you want a natural, lived-in look with minimal upkeep and a low-maintenance, effortlessly blended result.
