Service focus and consultation
This mini foil focuses on brightening the hair immediately around the face to frame features without changing the whole head. During your consultation the stylist reviews your hair history, desired level of brightness and daily routine so placement and tone are chosen to suit your skin tone and lifestyle.
This appointment runs 90 MINUTES and is priced at $185. The mini-foil approach limits how much hair is lightened, which shortens the treated area compared with fuller highlight services and creates a focused, face-framing effect. Results are influenced by your base color and previous color history; trade-offs are discussed during consultation.
During your appointment steps
In the salon the stylist concentrates on small sections at the hairline and temples rather than working across the entire head. Those isolated pieces are treated and blended so the brightening looks integrated with your natural color and cut. Expect time for placement, processing and a final assessment to ensure the tone complements your complexion.
Our salon is located in Kerns, adjacent to the Irvington historic district, with easy access from I-84 and the Lloyd Center MAX station. Many clients schedule mini-foil appointments around commutes, errands, or events at Moda Center—early mornings, lunchtimes and evenings are common times to book.
Aftercare and timing considerations
Face-framing pieces will grow out with your natural hairline, so maintenance depends on how long you want that framed brightness to remain noticeable. Using color-safe products and avoiding heavy clarifying treatments are typical strategies; your stylist will recommend a touch-up rhythm based on regrowth and lifestyle rather than an exact timetable.
Because Portland has a cool, wet winter season and mild, dry summers, daily styling and how often you refresh pieces can vary by season. If you live in or around Portland, Gresham, Beaverton, Lake Oswego or Vancouver, plan appointment timing around transit and family schedules to make maintenance manageable.
