Frequently Asked Questions

A half head of highlights at Hone & Howe usually takes 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on your hair length, thickness and the level of lightening required. The service includes a consultation, foil application through the top sections, processing time and a finishing toner.

Most clients refresh their half head highlights every 8 to 10 weeks to maintain brightness and keep the colour looking fresh. The exact frequency depends on how quickly your hair grows and how blonde you like to keep your colour.

Half head highlights focus on the top and front sections of the hair where the colour is most visible, while full head highlights cover the entire head including the underneath layers. A half head is typically used to maintain colour between full highlight appointments, and is quicker and gentler on the hair.

Yes, a toner is included with every half head highlights service at Hone & Howe. The toner refines the final shade after lightening, neutralises unwanted tones and gives the hair a polished, glossy finish.
