About the Service
Achieve maximum brightness, high-impact blonde, or beautiful multi-dimensional depth with a professional Full Head Foils service at Hair In The City Glasgow. Located in the heart of the Merchant City, our experienced colourists use precise micro-weaving and sectioning techniques to apply highlights or lowlights from root to tip. Whether you want a cool, clean ash blonde, a warm golden honey glow, or a natural multi-tonal brunette dimension, our full head foiling service provides complete coverage and stunning brightness tailored to your hair goals.
What to Expect: The Process
|
1
|
Step 1Bespoke Shade Consultation: We analyse your hair type, natural base colour, and skin undertones. We then determine the perfect mix of highlights, lowlights, and tones to achieve your desired level of brightness. |
|
2
|
Step 2Micro-Weaving & Sectioning: Your stylist carefully sections your hair and weaves out ultra-fine strands. We place foils close to the scalp for maximum root coverage and neat growth patterns. |
|
3
|
Step 3Application of Premium Lightener: We apply high-performance Keune lightener, customized with low-vol developer and Keune Bond Fusion to lift your hair gently and safely. |
|
4
|
Step 4Bond Protection Processing: While the lightener lifts, Keune Bond Fusion Phase 1 works inside the hair shaft to repair and protect the natural disulphide bonds. This shields your hair from heat and chemical stress. |
|
5
|
Step 5Backwash Rinse & Tone: We rinse the foils and apply a bespoke Keune toner or gloss to refine the blonde shade, neutralise brassiness, and seal the hair cuticle. |
|
6
|
Step 6Keune Colour Lock Basin Service: We apply Bond Fusion Phase 2 to lock in the toner, deeply nourish the hair, and leave it feeling silky and exceptionally strong. |
|

|
Step 7Precision Cut & Signature Finish: We finish with a professional cut, blowdry, and styling—adding volume or soft curls to highlight the multi-dimensional tones of your foils. |
Who This Is Ideal For
- High-Impact Blondes: Perfect for anyone wanting maximum root-to-tip blonde coverage and uniform brightness.
- Dimensional Brunettes: Ideal for adding soft ribbons of caramel, honey, or copper highlights and deeper lowlights to dark hair.
- Grey Blending: An excellent choice for naturally blending grey hair into a softer, multi-tonal blonde pattern that reduces the appearance of harsh growth lines.
Aftercare & Maintenance
- Blonde Maintenance Care: Use Keune Care Silver Savior shampoo and conditioner to keep cool blondes clean and free from brassy yellow undertones.
- Moisture & Strength: Alternate with Keune Care Vital Nutrition mask once a week to restore moisture and maintain protein strength.
- Root Maintenance: Book a Half Head Foils or Money Piece service every 6 to 8 weeks to maintain your hairline brightness, and a full head every 12 to 16 weeks.
All styling starts with a personal consultation to tailor the perfect finish.
Book Your Appointment →Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a Full Head Foils service and how does it differ from a half head?
A: A Full Head Foils service places highlights or lowlights throughout your entire head, including the back, nape of the neck, and crown. A half head only focuses on the top crown section and sides. A full head is recommended if you wear your hair up often or want a complete colour transformation.
Q: How long does a Full Head Foils appointment take at the salon?
A: Because of the precise sectioning and extensive foil placement, a full head foils appointment usually takes 3.5 to 4.5 hours. This includes foil application, development time, toning, treatment, and a professional cut and finish.
Q: Do I need a colour patch test before getting foils?
A: Yes. We require a free 48-hour patch test for all new clients or existing clients who haven't had a colour service with us in the past 6 months. This can be done in just a few minutes at our High Street salon.
Q: Will highlights damage my hair or make it dry?
A: At Hair In The City, we prioritize hair integrity. We use premium Keune lighteners and mix Keune Bond Fusion directly into our formulas. Bond Fusion acts as a protective shield, repairing bonds during the chemical process to ensure your hair remains soft, shiny, and strong.
Q: Can I get highlights if I currently have permanent black or dark dye on my hair?
A: Yes, but stripping out old dark dyes is a complex process. It usually requires a "Blonding Transformation" service rather than standard foils. This ensures we can lift the artificial colour pigments evenly while protecting your hair's health. We recommend booking a Colour Consultation first.
Q: What is the pricing structure for foils with different stylists?
A: We use tiered pricing based on stylist experience. Full Head Foils (including gloss, cut, and style) starts at £125.00 with our Graduate Stylist (Erin) and goes up to £165.00 with our Salon Director (Louise).
Q: Can I book a Full Head Foils online?
A: Yes! You can book online through our Phorest booking link, except for Hair Up and specialty correction services. We recommend booking in advance as our senior stylists' columns fill up quickly.
