Colour & Scattered Foils for long hair blends an all-over or root colour with a handful of carefully placed foils, giving brightness and movement without the density (or upkeep) of a full head of highlights. It's a popular choice for clients in Lutterworth who want their colour refreshed and lifted around the face and crown while keeping things natural and low-maintenance.
More information
What the service involves
Your stylist will start with a consultation to talk through shade, placement and hair history, followed by a patch test if you're new to the salon or it's been a while since your last one.
- Base colour applied to roots or through the lengths for overall tone
- Selected sections woven and foiled around the parting, crown and face frame
- Processing, then rinsing of both the base colour and foils
- Toner or gloss applied if needed to refine the highlighted pieces
- Conditioning treatment, blow-dry and finish
What to expect
Scattered foils are designed to catch the light naturally rather than create bold stripes, so the result is soft, multi-tonal and blended.
- A sun-kissed, lived-in look rather than high-contrast streaks
- Softer regrowth lines than a full or half-head of foils
- A brighter finish around the face and through the top layers
- Around 60 minutes of application and processing time
Is it right for you
This service works well as an entry into highlights or as a lighter alternative to full foiling.
- Good for refreshing dull colour or softening existing regrowth
- Suits long hair that needs added texture and dimension
- If you want very bold, high-contrast colour, a half-head or full-head foiling service may suit you better
- Previous box dye, dark tints or old balayage can affect how hair lifts, so your stylist will set realistic expectations at consultation
Our stylists, including Donna Brookes and Kasie Pearce, will help tailor placement and tone to your hair's condition and history. Bond-building additives and conditioning treatments are commonly recommended for long hair, particularly on more porous ends, to help protect strength through the lightening process.
Aftercare and maintenance
Good home care keeps the colour looking fresh for longer between visits.
- Use sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner
- Reduce wash frequency and always apply heat protection before styling
- Book in toner or gloss refreshes to prevent brassiness
- Keep up with regular trims and deep conditioning treatments
- Most clients return for a refresh every 6 to 10 weeks, depending on growth rate and how much contrast they like

Always a great experience. The colour and cut are always spot on. I especially love the organic colours this salon uses — I’m allergic to conventional dyes and can only use organic, so it’s a perfect fit. The atmosphere in the salon is always warm, welcoming, and friendly.

Great cut and colour today by Kasie. She was extremely friendly and listened carefully to exactly what I wanted.
