Foils and balayage FAQs
How often will I need my foils redone?
Most foil clients come back every 6–10 weeks; balayage clients every 3–4 months. It depends on how fast your hair grows and how bright you like it.
Can foils cover my grey?
Foils blend grey beautifully rather than covering it solidly, so regrowth is much softer.
How long does the appointment take?
Usually 2–3 hours, depending on the service and the length and thickness of your hair.
