Light in All the Right Places

Targeted highlights focused on the top layers and face-framing sections of your hair. Partial highlights add brightness and dimension where it matters most without the time or cost of a full head of foils. This service includes face-frame highlights (sometimes called a money piece), crown highlights, or a combination of both.

Appointment time runs 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on placement and desired result. Includes consultation, foils, toner, shampoo, and blowout.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Step 1: Consultation

Your colorist evaluates your hair, discusses your goals, and recommends the right formula and shade.

Step 2: Foil Placement

Foils are placed strategically on the top layers and around the face. No foils on the underneath sections.

Step 3: Process + Toner

Foils process for 25 to 45 minutes. A toner is applied after to refine the shade and eliminate brassiness.

Step 4: Blowout + Style

Every highlight appointment includes a professional blowout so you leave looking finished.

Partial vs full head highlights: which one do you need?

If you want brightness concentrated on top and around your face with a more natural look underneath, partial highlights are the right call. If you want even brightness all the way through, including the underneath sections, go with full head highlights. Not sure? Your colorist will help you decide during the consultation. You can also read our blog post on balayage vs highlights for a detailed comparison of all the options.

Type of Partial Highlights

Face-frame highlights (money piece)

Highlights placed around the face only, framing your features and brightening your complexion. This is the fastest and most affordable highlight option. Some clients call it a “money piece” when the face-framing pieces are bolder or more contrasted. Takes about 60 to 75 minutes.

Crown and top layer highlights

Foils are placed on the top section and the crown of your head. The underneath stays your natural color. This creates visible brightness when your hair is down without the commitment of a full head. Takes about 90 minutes.

Partial with face frame

The most popular option: combines crown highlights with face-framing pieces for maximum impact with half the foils of a full head. This is what most clients mean when they book “partial highlights.” Takes about 90 minutes to 2 hours.

How To Maintain Your Highlights

Use a sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and conditioner. Purple shampoo once a week helps keep blonde highlights from turning brassy. Avoid hot water and excessive heat styling, both of which fade and shift highlight tones faster. A glaze treatment between appointments refreshes your tone and adds shine without a full foil session.

Most partial highlight clients come back every 8 to 12 weeks for maintenance, though face-frame only clients can stretch to 10 to 14 weeks since the grow-out is more forgiving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Partial highlights focus on the top layers and face-framing sections. Full highlights include foils all the way through, including the underneath. Partial is faster (90 min vs 2-3 hours), more affordable ($150+ vs $300+), and gives a more natural look since your base color stays visible underneath. Learn more about full head highlights.

Face-frame highlights are foils placed specifically around your face to brighten your complexion and add dimension to the front sections of your hair. Some people call a bold face frame a “money piece.” This can be done as a standalone service ($100+) or as part of a partial highlight appointment.

 

Most clients come back every 8 to 12 weeks. Face-frame only highlights can go 10 to 14 weeks since the grow-out blends more naturally. Your colorist can recommend a maintenance schedule based on your specific placement and desired look.

Yes. Many clients combine a single process color for their base with partial highlights on top for added dimension. Your colorist will evaluate your hair’s condition during the consultation to make sure both services can be done safely.

 

Any lightening service involves some chemical processing, but partial highlights are gentler than a full head because fewer sections of hair are being lifted. We use professional-grade lighteners and follow up with a toner and conditioner to maintain hair health. Adding an Olaplex treatment during your appointment helps protect the hair’s bonds during the lightening process.
