Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Money Piece?
A Money Piece is a bright, face-framing highlight around your hairline. We tailor tone and placement to suit your base colour and features. The blend stays soft at the root.
How long will the colour last?
Most guests keep the look for 8 to 12 weeks, depending on care. A quick toner and gloss can revive brightness between full services.
Is it suitable for all hair types?
Yes, it works on most types, from fine to textured hair. We adjust technique and strength to protect condition and match your goals.
Can I add a haircut too?
Yes, you can add a cut or trim when booking. It ensures placement complements your shape, fringe, and styling routine.
Will it look harsh on dark hair?
No, we lift in controlled stages and tone for balance. The result is bright yet blended, with contrast chosen to suit you.
