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. ## What's Included A careful, efficient service focused on tidy, natural results. - Personal consultation to map your shade, placement and finish. - Precision cap application with controlled density for subtle to stronger looks. - Professional lightener applied for even lift and clean results at the root. - Toner or gloss to refine tone and neutralise warmth. - Rinse, condition and a tidy finish. - Personal aftercare advice and a maintenance plan. ### 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.

Cap highlights use a snug cap and hook to pull fine sections through, then lighten them together. They give very even, close-to-root results on short hair. Foils suit medium to long hair or when you want varied placement. Is pulling hair through the cap uncomfortable? You may feel gentle tugging as strands are pulled through, but it should not hurt. We work on clean, dry, detangled hair and use fine hooks to minimise tension. Tell us if you feel any discomfort. Can cap highlights help blend my grey? Yes. Scattered highlights break up contrast so grey looks softer and brighter. For full coverage of resistant grey, a root tint alongside highlights may be recommended. How light can I go in one session? It depends on your starting shade, previous colour and hair condition. We lift safely to protect the hair, then tone for a cool, neutral or warm finish. Multiple sessions may be needed for very bright blondes. How often will I need a top-up? Most short styles need a refresh every 6 to 8 weeks as regrowth shows sooner. We will map a plan around your cut cycle and preferred brightness. A quick gloss can extend time between visits.
