Typically 45 to 90 minutes depending on hair length, density, and number of foils. A consultation helps determine timing; more complex placements or additional toning may extend the appointment slightly.

No, generally partial highlights/lowlights use less lightener and cover smaller sections, resulting in less overall processing and damage than full-head color. Your stylist will choose gentle techniques and protect hair with bond-repair and conditioning treatments.

Absolutely. Stylists strategically place brightness or depth around the crown and face to accentuate cheekbones, jawline, and eyes. During consultation we assess features and recommend placement, contrast level, and color to create the most flattering effect.
