What's Included in This Service

Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation to assess your current color, desired outcome, and hair health. Foils are placed strategically based on your natural part, face shape, and how much contrast you want. In Crofton, where humidity can affect how color lifts, processing times are adjusted to ensure even results without over-lightening.

Foil highlighting uses thin sections of hair isolated in foil packets, allowing the lightener to lift without affecting the surrounding hair. Dionne Christina Hairstylist applies each foil with care, ensuring clean lines and even saturation. Lowlights are added using the same method, but with a darker shade to create depth and contrast.

Once your foils are processed and rinsed, a toner is applied to refine the color and eliminate any unwanted warmth. Multi-tone blending may involve two or three shades woven together for a more complex, natural look. A bond treatment and conditioning mask are applied before styling to protect your hair and lock in moisture.

How Our Process Works

Foil services are technical, and clients often want to know what to expect before, during, and after. Here are the most common questions about this type of color work.

How long does a foil highlighting session take?
Expect to spend two and a half to four hours in the chair, depending on how many foils are placed and whether you're adding lowlights or color correction. Full head foils take the longest.
What's the difference between foils and balayage?
Foils create more uniform, structured highlights, while balayage is freehand and softer. Foils are ideal if you want precise placement and more dramatic lift, especially around your face.
Can foils fix color that's too dark or brassy?
Yes, color correction using foils can lift dark sections or tone down brassiness. It's a controlled process that targets specific areas without affecting your entire head.
How often should I get my foils redone?
Most clients return every eight to twelve weeks, depending on how quickly their hair grows and how much contrast they want to maintain. Partial foils can be done more frequently than full heads.
Will foils damage my hair?
Not when done correctly. Precision foil placement and bond-building treatments protect your hair during the lifting process. In Crofton, post-color conditioning is always included to restore strength and shine.

Foil work gives you control over your color in a way that freehand techniques can't match, especially if you want repeatable results or need to correct previous color. Lock in your foils and advanced color appointment in Crofton today.
