- Half Head Highlights

Half head highlights concentrate brightness where it matters most: the top and sides of your hair, the areas that catch the light and frame your face. You get a noticeably lighter, sun-kissed look with less time in the chair and a lower price than full head highlights.
Why half head works so well
Most of what people see when they look at your hair is the top layer and around the face. By placing foils through these sections, we create brightness and dimension while leaving darker hair underneath for natural depth.
Great for
- Blending greys through the top and sides
- Brightening mid-brown and dark blonde hair
- Maintaining a full head of highlights between bigger appointments
Your highlight appointment
Hannah, Nicole and Danielle on our Tilbury team all have highlights among their specialities. Your stylist will agree tone and thickness with you, from fine and subtle to chunkier contrast, then weave, foil, process and tone for a polished finish.

Keep your highlights looking fresh
Aftercare tip: a weekly purple or silver shampoo keeps highlights bright and stops brassy tones creeping in.
Want brightness all over? Upgrade to full head highlights. Just need a quick refresh? Try parting highlights.
Price: from £60. A skin test is usually needed 48 hours before your first colour with us. See all our highlights in Tilbury, just a short drive from Grays and East Tilbury.

Excellent experience getting my hair done at Classic Hair. From initial colour consultation to the colour and cut itself, Tillie was amazing. So attentive and explained everything so we could discuss best options. Hair salons are normally an awkward experience for me but she put me at ease constantly with an amazing result from blonde to a bright shade of copper at the end. Thank you very much 😊 100% recommend

Second time visiting today and every time I’m greeted by friendly faces and they all make you feel so comfortable! The salon has such a lovely vibe. Tillie cut my hair last year and I loved it! I’ve been back today for a complete change of colour after not dying my hair in so long I was nervous but the results were amazing. Tillie listened to everything I wanted and took the time to go through everything with me. I love my hair and can’t thank Tillie enough! I’ll be back soon! Thank you x

Such a positive experience! Really friendly staff. Tillie was a brilliant stylist. She was really friendly with my children, helping to make them feel comfortable. I wasn’t sure what style of cut and colour I wanted, and her advice and expertise was spot on. Absolutely love my hair and will definitely be returning! Highly recommend
