Brighten your look and add dimension with expertly placed highlights. At Cruz Hairworks in Whitley Bay, our Full Head Highlights with Foils service offers a tailored, radiant result—whether you prefer soft, sun-kissed tones or a bold, high-contrast finish.

What Is a Full Head of Highlights with Foils?

This service involves placing colour through the full head using foils to lighten selected sections of hair. The technique allows for controlled placement, even lift, and a natural blend with your base colour. Foils are carefully applied throughout the crown, sides, and underneath, ensuring lightness and brightness all the way around—even when your hair is up.

At Cruz Hairworks, we use professional lighteners and toners from L’Oréal Professional and Joico to achieve your ideal shade while respecting your hair’s health and integrity.

Who Is This Service For?

Full head foils are ideal if you want an all-over lighter effect or multi-dimensional colour from root to tip. Whether you're blonde, brunette, or somewhere in between, highlights can be tailored to suit your natural shade, skin tone, and personal style.

Many of our regular clients in Whitley Bay, North Shields, and the surrounding areas choose full head highlights to maintain a bright, lifted look year-round. This service is also perfect for those who like wearing their hair up, as the colour placement ensures no dark areas are left untouched.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

This is a detailed colour service that typically takes around 2.5 to 3 hours, depending on hair length and density. Your appointment will begin with a thorough consultation to understand your hair history, colour goals, and maintenance preferences.

Foils are then placed throughout the entire head, with close attention to detail to ensure a clean, even result. After processing, your stylist will apply a toner to refine the tone and finish with a professional shampoo, condition, and blowdry.

Throughout the service, we focus on protecting your hair’s strength, using bond-building treatments where needed to maintain condition and shine.

How Often Should You Book?

To keep your highlights fresh and blended, we recommend maintenance every 8 to 12 weeks. Regular toners and treatments between visits will help preserve your colour’s brightness and condition.

For expertly blended highlights and a personal touch in Whitley Bay or North Shields, book your full head foils at Cruz Hairworks—where colour is crafted with care and confidence.

The service you get at Cruz is simply first class. My regular stylist is Andrew who is brilliant. However, every stylist in the salon has tended my hair at some time and I have never been disappointed - they really listen to you and always go the extra mile. They are always up to date with the latest techniques etc and you can guarantee an all round great experience. I have recently had a complete change of colour and I love it! I cannot recommend the salon highly enough.
