What is the difference between a partial and a full?

Partial/Full are terms referring to the placement of any color service such as: highlights, lowlights and balayage. A partial highlight for example, is placed on the front hairline back to the crown of the head, and from the temples to behind the ear. A full placement refers to highlights that are placed on all sections of the head including the back and the nape of the neck.

What is Balayage?

Balayage is a technique used to add highlights to the hair. This technique involves hand painting lightener on to the sections where lighter pops of color are desired. Balayage is best suited for: someone that wants subtle results, someone that wants their highlights to mimic the look of sun bleached hair, or someone that wants to lighten their hair in sessions. Balayage is the most gentle way to lighten the hair.

What is Foilayage?

Foilayage is the sister of Balayage, it is also a technique used to add highlights to the hair. Balayage provides minimal results, therefore Foilayage was created. Foilayage mimics the appearance of Balayage but can provide more dramatic results in one session. Foilayage is more powerful than balayage because the use of foil helps the hair to lift brighter due to incubation. Foilayage is best suited for someone that wants to have significantly lighter hair, a blended root, and dimension- all in one session.
