Foil Services at Cuts By Carella
🎨 Add Dimension, Light, and Texture — Tailored for Cairns’ Climate and Style
At Cuts By Carella, our foil services are crafted to deliver multi-tonal depth, brightness, and seamless blending — whether you're after subtle framing or a bold transformation. Every foil application is customised to your hair type, lifestyle, and colour goals, with optional add-ons like regrowth colour, toner, gloss treatments, and precision cuts.
Foils can look beautifully blended in the salon, then read harsher or more “stripey” once you’re back in Cairns humidity.
Humidity can keep the hair surface more open after lightening — that uneven surface makes light break differently across sections, so blend lines show harder through the ends even if you use oils.

Each foil service comes with:
✨ Customised placement to suit your look
🛡 Non-negotiable Bond Protection + Bond Restoration Treatments
💇♀️ Optional regrowth colour, toner, gloss, and styled cut upgrades

Frequently Asked Questions
💬 What’s the difference between Half Head and Full Head Foils?
Half Head Foils target the top and sides of the head — great for a natural refresh or subtle brightness. Full Head Foils cover the entire scalp, creating dramatic, all-over transformation.
💬 Do all foil services include bond protection?
Yes. Every foil service at Cuts By Carella includes both Bond Protection during colour and a Bond Restoration Treatment after. These are non-negotiable and ensure the health of your hair during lightening.
💬 Can I combine foils with regrowth colour or toner?
Absolutely. Many clients combine foils with regrowth colour, toner, or a gloss treatment to enhance or blend the final result. These can be added at the time of booking or in consultation.
💬 What are Twilight Foils and who are they for?
Exclusive to Cuts By Carella, Twilight Foils are a subtle, glow-enhancing technique for brunettes, brondes, and redheads. Designed to mimic soft moonlight, they offer natural dimension without harsh lines.
💬 How do I know which foil service is right for me?
We recommend starting with a consultation or face-framed foils if you’re new to blonding. For bigger transformations, a Half or Full Head Foil may be more appropriate. We’ll always tailor the plan to your hair history and goals.
