Where foils are placed
Partial highlights use strategically placed foils around the crown and face to add brightness and depth while keeping the underside of the hair closer to your base color. Because only selected sections are lifted, the finished look shows dimension where you want it without committing to a full-head lightening service.
Styling choices that shape the result include foil placement, section size, and starting hair tone. Your stylist will review previous color work, gray coverage needs, and texture before deciding on the approach; many guests note our team finds solutions when past at-home or salon color hasn’t produced the desired result.
Salon process and timing
Every appointment begins with a consultation to set the tone and plan. The full process for Partial Highlights at our Whittier salon includes sectioning, foil placement, adequate processing time, and styling; plan for 180 MINUTES so we can evaluate hair health and deliver the balanced brightness you asked for.
Our posted price for Partial Highlights is $265; that covers the service time and professional color formulation. We offer morning and weekend appointments to fit family schedules and I-605 commuters, and our staff can book times that connect with local errands to Whittier Uptown or Whittwood Town Center.
Maintaining your partial highlights
Aftercare matters for keeping dimension visible and hair healthy. Your stylist will recommend shampoos, conditioners and timing for follow-up visits based on hair porosity, previous chemical work, and how much contrast you prefer; our team frequently helps clients manage color without sacrificing hair condition.
Sun exposure in our Mediterranean climate and Santa Ana heat spikes can lighten color faster; mention outdoor routines during your consult so we can suggest protective steps. Also note we see higher demand in Mar, Jun and Nov — book ahead in those months to secure preferred morning or weekend slots.
