Can I book this instead of a regrowth touch-up?

Only if you're not looking to cover greys or maintain an all-over colour. For solid base maintenance, book Regrowth Colour or one of our foil + regrowth packages.

What’s the benefit of “Protected” services?

Protected services include both Bond Protection (during lift) and Bond Restoration (after lightening). They reduce breakage and help your hair recover faster.

Yes — in nearly all cases, toner is recommended after bleach. It’s itemised separately so we can tailor your tone on the day, but it’s essential for achieving your target shade.

How long do face-framed foils last?

Most clients return every 8–12 weeks. Because placement is limited to the face, the grow-out is softer and lower maintenance than full-head foils.

✨ Face-Framed Foils

Create contrast, softness, or light where it counts — around your face.

This curated lightening category is perfect for brightening your features without committing to a full-head blonding service.

Whether you're new to foils, refreshing the front of an existing balayage, or just want to draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones, face-framed foils give you high-impact results with low-maintenance grow-out.

These are not toner-only services — face-framing involves bleach, foil placement, and cutting for shape. If you’re just refreshing tone or maintaining a solid base, check out our Regrowth Colour or Blonde Refresh categories. For those needing both a regrowth touch-up and lightening around the face, explore our Protected Face-Framed Foils + Regrowth options below.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as a toner refresh?
No — face-framed foils involve bleach and strategic foil placement. If you're looking to correct tone without lightening, choose a Blonde Refresh.

Can I book this instead of a regrowth colour?
Only if you're not maintaining an all-over colour. If you're covering greys or maintaining a full base, book a Regrowth Colour service or one of our foil + regrowth packages.

Why are some services called “Protected”?
These include Bond Protection during bleaching. Some, like the Full Colour package, also include Bond Restoration — applied after rinsing to strengthen hair from within.

Do I need toner?
Almost always — toner refines the final tone after lightening. It’s itemised separately unless included in your selected package.

How often should I get face-framed foils?
Every 8–12 weeks. They grow out softly, so they’re lower maintenance than full-head foils.
