How the Service Works
Your appointment begins with a focused consultation to map tone, placement and desired lift. We section the hair and apply foils across the full head to create balanced highlights, then process and rinse before a precision haircut. Allow for the full appointment time of 210 MINUTES; color processing and cutting are integrated to shape the final result.
Foil density and placement are decisions we make together: denser foils increase contrast and brightness while wider spacing gives a sun-kissed effect. We balance desired lift with hair integrity, choosing placement that complements your haircut. Expect trade-offs between higher lift and longer processing; your stylist will recommend options that fit your hair’s condition and lifestyle in Portland.
What to Expect During Appointment
During a Full Head Foil + Haircut you’ll move through a few predictable steps: consultation, color mapping, foil application, processing, wash, blow-dry, and the haircut itself. Processing time varies by desired lift and hair porosity, which is why the combined appointment is scheduled as a contiguous session to ensure consistent color and shaping throughout the 210 MINUTES.
Plan your booking around Portland's commuter rhythms—many clients prefer early mornings, lunchtimes or weekends. Geneva’s Kerns location has easy access from I-84 and MAX light rail, so allow time for travel, especially in wet weather. Because the service is lengthy, arrive on time to receive the full attention and uninterrupted processing the formula requires.
Maintenance and Local Considerations
After the service, highlights and a fresh shape will need home care that accounts for Portland’s climate. Rain and frequent humidity can change how styles fall; many clients choose smoothing or protective products recommended by their stylist. Geneva’s team will advise on gentle shampoos, heat protection, and styling steps that help maintain color brightness between salon visits.
Touch-up timing depends on contrast and personal preference; we’ll discuss maintenance during your consultation. The service fee is $450 and the booking is scheduled for 210 MINUTES, so plan childcare or work breaks accordingly. For repeat clients across Portland, Gresham and nearby areas, many coordinate appointments around events or work schedules given local transit convenience.
