    I absolutely love this salon. It’s well-established, always busy, and in a great location with plenty of parking. Olivia and Andrew are my go-to stylists—they offer honest advice and always deliver exactly what we discuss. I always leave happy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are half head highlights?
Half head highlights focus on the top, crown, and sides of the hair. They provide a brightening effect around the face and parting, leaving the underneath section more natural.
Who are half head foils best suited for?
Ideal for clients who already have colour and want a refresh, or for those looking to add lightness without the full commitment of a complete colour change.
How often should I get half head highlights?
Most clients return every 8–10 weeks, though you may choose to alternate with full head highlights for even brightness over time.
How long does a half head of foils take?
This service usually takes around 2–2.5 hours, including consultation, application, processing, and blow-dry.
Will I need a patch test for this service?
Yes. A patch test is required at least 48 hours before your appointment to ensure your safety, even if you’ve had highlights before.
