A PARTIAL FOIL a partial foil consists of 20 foils placed around your hairline and your part line. it is not typically a stand alone service, it is usually maintenance between bigger foiling services. however my client in this video has a one length haircut and is very low maintenance with her hair so all we do is a partial foil twice a year, sometimes with a gloss between appointments. the reason i mention my clients haircut is because if someone has layers in their hair, a partial foil would not work without preexisting lightness because you would see the dark layer hanging out underneath. SO if you have a one length haircut and just want some dimension or if you already have highlights and only want to see a difference at your root and around your face, a partial foil is right for you!

This is my go to Partial Highlight Foil Technique for Ponytail Loving Clients 🫶🏽 Save this the next time you need some placement and formula inspo! This technique involves adding just five foils on the bottom hairline to create a subtle, flowing highlight effect without the commitment of a full highlight. This works best for one-length haircuts or long layers. The look features teased slices and highlights for dimension, as well as some tip-out and freehand hair painting to maximize the blonde effect towards the ends. The final result is a beautiful level 8 with a soft contrast and dark-to-light effect, achieved through color melt toning. Here is the full formula 👇🏽 Formula: 20Vol Lightener for the highlights & 10vol for the tip outs Final Toner using Demi 6N/7NA into 8GB/8N You can find the full placement to this technique and many other foil highlight placements inside the Hair B&B University app🫶🏽 Comment APP to start for free and get access to 3 free lessons + a community 🫶🏽 @hairbnb_university

My partial highlight placement 🫶🏻 This client in particular doesn’t like a money piece, she likes the same amount of coverage all over In this case I used my weave & slice technique for more coverage but if your client wants more dimension I usually just stick to weaves! I used @wellahair blondor to lift started with 10vol & moved up to 20 I did no root and I toned with @redken shades eq 10p 10t 000 #behindthechair #redkenobsessed #seq1001blondeschallenge #mastersofbalayage #longislandhairstylist #suffolkcountyhairstylist #babylonvillage #babylonhair #lindenhurstny #modernsalon #saloncentric #massapequapark #btcfirstfeature #amika #framar

Idk who needs to hear this but you don’t always need a full foil service each time you come in. A partial foil highlight can be enough. Most of my clients alternate between the two every few months. For those who are not familiar with a partial foil, it’s strategically placing foils in areas to refresh your look. All around the outer areas and hairline. Pros: cost less and shorter time in the salon Cons: not ideal for those who wear their hair half up All blonding service includes tone. Bond building treatments are also included (as needed). #sanjosehair #bayareabalayage #sanjosebalayage #sanjosehairsalon #sanjosehairstylist #sunnyvalehairstylist #milpitashairstylist #babylights #colormelt #americansalon #beautylaunchpad #balayage #partialhighlights
