How Extra Foils are applied
Extra Foils are applied by isolating thin sections of hair and wrapping them in foil with a color or lightening product to control saturation and placement. The stylist chooses foil spacing and location so contrast appears precisely where you want it, allowing targeted brightness or subtle face-framing without changing your entire color.
How your hair responds depends on natural color, previous chemical work, hair thickness, and length. For many clients an Extra Foils add-on costs $20 and typically takes 15 MINUTES, so it’s an efficient way to intensify highlights or add face-framing contrast during a regular appointment.
Choosing placement and density
Placement and density are the main decisions that shape the finished look: dense placement gives stronger streaks while scattered foils create soft texture. Your stylist will discuss whether you want pronounced contrast or a gentle lift so you understand the trade-offs in maintenance and visible regrowth.
Many clients schedule Extra Foils alongside a base color or cut to minimize visits, and our Brentwood location along Capital Boulevard makes combining errands or shopping convenient. Stylists will assess timing and book accordingly for customers traveling from Raleigh, Wake Forest, Rolesville, or other nearby communities.
What to expect afterwards
After application, foiled sections are rinsed and blended as part of your finishing service; expect immediate contrast that may soften slightly as hair settles. How you style, the products you use, and how often you shampoo will influence appearance, so review at-home care and heat styling with your stylist to set expectations.
Raleigh’s humid summers can affect day-to-day appearance, so your stylist may suggest products or refresh timing that fit our local climate. Our location near Interstate 440 and Capital Boulevard supports commuter-friendly scheduling, letting you plan efficient follow-ups without long detours from work or errands.
