Half Head Foils & Styled Cut - Cuts by Carella

At Cuts by Carella, located at The Pier Shopping Centre in Cairns, we understand that your hair should fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. Whether you're hitting the beach at Palm Cove or grabbing a coffee with friends, our half head foils are the perfect way to add a little brightness without overcommitting. Want to freshen up your look? This low-maintenance option gives you just the right amount of dimension and depth to enhance your natural beauty.

Why Choose Half Head Foils for a Natural, Sun-Kissed Look?

Life in Cairns is all about balance – and the same goes for your hair. Half head foils involve applying highlights to the top and sides of your hair, leaving the underneath layers untouched. This technique creates a natural, sun-kissed effect without the commitment of a full head of highlights.

Our half head foils offer a blend of lightness through the top layers, giving your hair that effortlessly sun-kissed glow. Plus, you’ll enjoy a natural-looking regrowth—when your natural hair starts growing out, the new growth blends beautifully with your highlights, reducing the need for constant touch-ups. It’s an ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who loves a look that’s both stylish and easy to maintain.

Tailored Half Head Foils for Every Hair Type

At Cuts by Carella, no two heads of hair are the same – and neither are our foil services. Francesco Carella, our expert stylist, will take the time to understand your hair type and how half head foils can work best for you.

Whether you have straight hair that needs a little volume or natural curls that could use some extra dimension, our half head foils are designed to highlight your best features.

Dimension in hair refers to the contrast created by varying shades, which can add depth and movement to your hairstyle. Learn more about which styles suit your hair texture. Your results will vary depending on your unique hair type and style, but one thing is for sure: you’ll leave the salon looking and feeling amazing.

Effortless, Low-Maintenance Highlights with Half Head Foils

Half head foils are perfect for those who love an effortless look with a big payoff. These foils focus on the top layers—the outermost, most visible parts of your hair—blending naturally with your base colour to add subtle highlights that brighten your face. If you’re curious about how to complement your face shape with a cut, check out our guide to styled cuts for face shapes.

And since the regrowth blends in seamlessly, you won’t need to worry about frequent salon visits – unless, of course, you want to! This is the ideal option for clients who love that "just right" balance of natural and noticeable.

Enjoy a Refreshing Drink During Your Service

We believe in making every visit to Cuts by Carella an experience to remember. While your foils process, take a moment to relax and enjoy a glass of bubbles, wine, beer, or our signature Carella Rise cocktail. Your pampering time is as important as the results!
