First Time Getting a Classic Full Foil Highlight? Here’s What to Know

If you’re getting a Classic Full Foil Highlight for the first time, know that it’s completely normal to feel a bit anxious about the whole process. You’re in good hands with us. One of our long-time clients said, "I’ve been going to this salon for a few years now... always left feeling happy!" We're all about making sure you leave with a smile.

Practical preparation steps before the appointment

To prepare for your highlights, we recommend coming in with clean, dry hair. Make sure it’s in good condition; this will help the color take better. Hydrated hair leads to beautiful results. If you have specific colors in mind, jot them down and discuss them with your stylist, who will guide you based on your hair type.

Step-by-step walkthrough of the session

When you arrive at Reve, our friendly team will greet you and settle you into your stylist’s chair. We’ll start by discussing your vision in detail. Then, we will section your hair and apply the highlights using our precise foil technique. Expect to spend about 2-4 hours here. Don’t worry, you can relax knowing that our stylists are skilled at creating a welcoming atmosphere. One client reflected, "The salon is not overwhelming at all, which I also love!" You'll be kept informed throughout the process too.

What happens after and how to care for results

After your session, you might feel a bit lighter and brighter! To maintain your new highlights, use color-safe shampoos and deep-conditioning treatments. These will keep both your color and your hair healthy. You can typically expect to rebook in about 8-12 weeks for touch-ups, depending on your hair's growth rate.

Insider tips and a confidence-building close

Our stylists often encourage first-timers to embrace the transformation fully. Many of our clients become regulars after their first experience. For instance, one says, "Victoria has been awesome, especially because I change my hair up every time!" We love that our clients feel they can explore new styles with us. So come on in and let us help you start your hair journey!
