Cap highlights for very short hair deliver clean, even brightness where foils cannot reach. Using a precision cap technique, we lift and blend to add soft dimension through the hairline and crown. Choose a subtle sun-kissed effect or a brighter pop of light, finished with a tone that suits your complexion.

Who It's For
Perfect if your hair is cropped or pixie-length and too short for foils. Ideal when you want uniform, close-to-root highlights with crisp placement and a natural blend.
Also great if you are new to highlights, want to soften grey contrast without full colour, or need a quick, low-maintenance brightening between cuts.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Your appointment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes from consultation to finish. We monitor processing carefully so the lift is even and controlled.
Arrive with clean, dry hair to help the cap glide and keep the service efficient. If your hair sits longer than a short crop, we may recommend foil highlights instead.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Wait 48 hours before shampooing to let the tone settle. Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo and add a weekly hydrating mask to maintain softness and shine.
Use a violet shampoo once a week to keep brassiness at bay. Always apply heat protection and lower heat settings to preserve condition.
Plan top-ups every 6 to 8 weeks to keep regrowth soft and your shape bright. A quick gloss between visits can refresh the tone without further lightening.
