Face framing is a targeted colour service that places lighter or brighter pieces around the front hairline to bring focus to your face. It can create a soft, sunlit halo or a more defined “money piece” effect, giving visible impact at the front without committing to a full head of highlights.
More information
What Face Framing includes for brighter, more defined front pieces
Face framing focuses on the area you see most in the mirror and in photos: the front hairline and face line.
- A quick consultation on how bright you want the front pieces and where they should start (temples, fringe area, or both).
- Precise lightening placed around the face line to create lift and contrast where it matters most.
- Blended placement so the brighter pieces sit naturally into your existing colour, rather than looking stripy.
- Toning or glossing to refine the shade (for example, cool, beige, honey, or warm caramel) and add a polished finish.
- Styling finish so you can see the face-framing effect with your hair worn down, tucked behind the ears, or swept back.
Face framing that suits your cut, parting and daily styling
Face framing works especially well if you wear your hair off your face, tuck it behind your ears, or like a visible brightness around the front. It can also add dimension to one-length hair, sharpen up a grown-out balayage, or bring a fresher feel between bigger colour appointments.
How Face Framing is created: placement, lift, then tone
The service starts with choosing placement around your parting and hairline, then lightening those selected sections with controlled lift. Once the brightness is where it needs to be, a toner is used to fine-tune the shade so it complements your base colour and sits cleanly against your skin tone.
Keeping your face-framing pieces looking fresh after the appointment
Use a colour-safe shampoo and a heat protectant to help maintain shine and tone. If your face-framing pieces start to look too warm or dull, a toner refresh can bring the shade back without re-lightening the hair.
