Half Head Foil

Brighter, sun-kissed color placed where it counts most

Duration
150 min
Investment
$128 – $144

A half head foil adds dimension and brightness right where it counts. Foils go through the top, crown, and sides, the sections that frame your face and catch the most light, so the result looks full and deliberately placed without touching every strand.

Your stylist maps the placement to your face shape, your base color, and how your hair naturally falls. Want soft, sun-kissed pieces? Sharper contrast? The approach adjusts to what actually suits you. Section by section, the color or lightener lands where it needs to, and nowhere it doesn't.

This works well for guests who want a real refresh without committing to all-over color, and it's a smart choice for anyone maintaining a full color service between appointments. Color here tends to face a lot of sun and humidity, so focused placement means less surface area working against you over time.

Prep

Before your appointment

  • Come with hair that's clean and fully dry, no heavy serums or oils before your visit
  • Let your stylist know about any color services you've had in the last few months, including box color
  • Bring a photo or two of shades you love; it helps your artist see exactly what you have in mind
  • If your hair tangles easily, a light detangle at home before you arrive is a big help
Aftercare

Keeping the result

  • Use a color-safe shampoo and keep wash water cool to help your color last longer between visits
  • A weekly deep conditioner goes a long way, especially in humid weather when hair needs extra moisture
  • Sun exposure fades foil work faster than most guests expect, so a UV-protective spray or hat is worth it outdoors
  • Your stylist can walk you through the right products for your hair before you head out

Stylists for Half Head Foil

A half head foil places color on the top and upper sides of the hair, which is usually where sunlight hits first and where brightness makes the most visible difference. It's a focused approach: fewer foils than a full head, but placed deliberately so the result reads as full and natural. At Olivia Lane Salon, your color artist takes time at the consultation to look at your current color, your hair's texture, and what kind of contrast you actually want before a single foil goes in.

Appointments are booked for 150 minutes, which leaves room to do the work properly. Foil services start at $128, and your stylist can walk you through what's included and what to expect for your specific hair at booking.
