Colour Highlight / Fashion Colour

Colour Highlight / Fashion Colour is a focused colour appointment designed to brighten, add dimension or refresh a statement shade without the time commitment of a full transformation. It’s ideal when you want a cleaner tone, better blend and a result that looks intentional as it grows out.

More information

What this appointment covers

This service is tailored to your hair history, your schedule and the look you want to live with day to day. Depending on your goal, it can include:

Strategic highlights for brightness and dimension
Face-framing pieces or a targeted “money piece” refresh
A fashion colour refresh or tonal change (where suitable)
Soft blending through the parting and hairline for a polished finish
Toner or gloss to refine warmth, neutralise brassiness or sharpen a vivid tone

When this service is the best fit

You want a lift and clean tone, but not a full head of highlights
Your existing highlights have grown out and you want the front and top refreshed
You have a busy diary and need a high impact update in a shorter slot
You want bolder colour placement with a wearable finish
You wear curls, coils or textured styles and want highlight placement that enhances your pattern

How your appointment is delivered

We start with a quick consultation to confirm your desired tone, placement and maintenance level. Colour is then applied with precision sectioning to suit your cut and how you style your hair most days.

Where lightening is needed, we work carefully to protect hair integrity and aim for an even lift. We finish with toning or glossing (when needed) to refine the shade, then style so you can see the blend and brightness in your real-world finish.

Aftercare and how to keep it looking good

You will get straightforward guidance on colour-safe cleansing, heat protection and toning products to keep the shade clean between visits. For most clients, a refresh works well every 6 to 10 weeks depending on contrast, regrowth and how bright you like the front.

If you are aiming for a major change (very light from dark, or a big shift to vivid), you may need a longer booking or a staged plan to keep results consistent and hair condition strong.

I went to McCrory Hair today for a cut, colour and style and I was booked in with Kalaya – she was absolutely AMAZING! She made me feel so comfortable from the minute I walked in, offered me a drink and even asked if she could get me something to eat since I was there for a few hours. Not only is she such a lovely person, she is also an incredibly talented hairdresser. I’m honestly SO happy with my hair – thank you so much Kalaya! 🙌✨ All of the other staff at McCrory Hair were just as wonderful and welcoming. The whole experience was 10/10 and I’ll definitely be going back. Would recommend them to absolutely anyone. Such a talented and friendly team! 💖✂️

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between highlights and fashion colour?

Highlights lighten selected sections to add brightness and dimension. Fashion colour focuses on creating or refreshing a bolder shade, often using toners or direct dyes for a more statement result.

Is this appointment suitable for curly or Afro textured hair?

Yes. Placement can be adapted to suit curls, coils and textured patterns so brightness sits where it will be seen in your usual style. Your colour plan will also consider shrinkage, density and hair condition.

Can I go significantly lighter in one appointment?

Sometimes, but it depends on your starting colour, previous colour history and hair condition. If your goal needs more lift than is realistic in a focused slot, you will be advised on a longer booking or a staged approach.

How long will the colour look fresh?

Most people find the blend stays wearable for weeks, with the front and parting showing regrowth first. Vivid tones can fade faster, so maintenance depends on your shade choice and home care.

Do I need to do anything before my appointment?

Arrive with your hair detangled and be ready to discuss any past colouring, especially box dyes or previous lightening. If you have reference photos, bring a couple that show the tone and placement you like.
