Get answers to common questions about Partial Highlights.

Most Partial Highlights appointments take 60–90 minutes, depending on hair length, thickness, and desired placement. Your stylist will consult first, then section, foil, and tone as needed to achieve balanced, natural dimension tailored to your preferences.
