What is a streaking cap highlight service?

This service uses a cap to pull strands through for controlled lightening, ideal for soft blonde effects or grey blending, especially on short or medium hair.

Is bond protection included?

Yes. Every streaking cap service includes both Bond Protection and Bond Restoration Treatments to ensure hair integrity during lightening.

Can I get bright blonde from this service?

Streaking cap is best for soft highlights or grey blending. If you’re looking for bold lift or high-contrast blonding, consider foils or scalp bleach.

What happens after the highlights are applied?

After lightening, we apply a toner to refine your shade and finish with a precision Styled Cut and blow wave for shine, shape, and polish.

How long does the service take?

This service typically takes 2 hours and 35 minutes. Timing may vary slightly depending on hair type and goals discussed during consultation.

Streaking Cap, Toner & Styled Cut — Classic Blonde with Even Lift

⚡ Timeless technique. Controlled brightness. Seamless finish.

Our Streaking Cap service delivers natural-looking blonde results with fine, even placement. Hair is gently pulled through a perforated cap, then lightened with precision — ideal for short to medium lengths, grey blending, or subtle tonal brightening.

Once the desired lift is reached, a toner is applied to refine the shade and neutralise brassiness. This is followed by a precision Styled Cut that suits your face shape and texture, with a polished blow wave to seal in shine and control humidity. A great choice for clients wanting low-maintenance blonde enhancement.

🧪 Every Service Includes:

Bond Protection Treatment – Safeguards hair fibre during lightening
Premium Basin Ritual – Cleanse, condition, and tone-lock finish
Toner Application – Custom toning for optimal hue
Styled Cut & Blow Wave – Shape refinement and frizz control
