Face Frame

Bright, face-framing color placed right where it counts

Duration
75 min
Investment
from $110

Color placed around the front sections of your hair changes more than you'd expect. Those pieces frame your face all day, so when the light catches them the right way, your whole look feels pulled together.

Your stylist starts by looking at your base color and skin tone, then decides where and how to place the color to suit your features. You can go lighter for an airy, sun-kissed feel, add warmth, or bring in a little depth. It's a focused technique, not a full application, so the process is shorter and the grow-out tends to be gentle.

Keeping color looking fresh here takes real effort. The sun is intense and the humidity doesn't quit. A face frame is a smart way to stay ahead of that, giving your look a lift without a heavy maintenance commitment between appointments.

Prep

Before your appointment

  • Come in with your hair in its natural state, washed within the last day or two, and free of heavy styling products
  • Bring a photo or two of colors and placement you like, even a rough idea helps your artist get the framing just right
  • Let your stylist know about any color already on your hair, including old highlights or previous lightening
Aftercare

Keeping the result

  • Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner to help the color stay true longer
  • Sun exposure fades lighter pieces quickly, so a UV-protective hair product or style coverage on bright days goes a long way
  • Wait at least 48 hours before your first wash to let the color fully settle

Stylists for Face Frame

A face frame places lighter pieces along the hairline and front sections of the hair, right where brightness shows up most on your face. Your stylist targets those specific sections rather than the full head, so the result looks intentional and fresh without a major commitment. The appointment runs 75 minutes, and the service starts at $110.

On the Gulf Coast, sun and humidity can fade lighter color faster than in drier climates, so asking your stylist about a color-safe routine at the end of your visit is worth the extra two minutes. A simple switch to a sulfate-free shampoo keeps those front pieces looking clean and bright between appointments.

Questions

How much does a face frame highlight cost?

At Olivia Lane Salon, face frame highlights start at $110. Your final price may vary depending on your hair length, thickness, and the number of pieces your stylist recommends.

How long does a face frame highlight appointment take?

The service is 75 minutes. That includes application and processing time, so plan for about an hour and a quarter from start to finish.

What is the difference between a face frame and a full highlight?

A face frame focuses lighter pieces just around the hairline and front sections, while a full highlight covers the entire head. Face framing is a quicker, lower-commitment option that still adds noticeable brightness.
