Foiling Is A Fad That Will Never
Die |
|
|
Stacy Miron, one of the hairstylists at The Cutting
Boutique, is certainly glad that the process known as "foiling"
was introduced to Northern Ontario almost ten years ago.
Foiling is a way for people to add highlights to different areas of
your head. It is so popular that the majority of people who highlight
their hair now use this process instead of the old style of using caps.
In the example above, Stacy is adding bright red highlights to the hair
of a young patron. "The colour will last longer when you use foils
and you can also add as many colours as you want if you are brave and want
to make a bold personal statement." explained Stacy. "By using
foiling you can get the colour right down to the roots, and that is why it
will stay with you longer. I always tell my clients to make sure that is
the colour they want because they will have to live with it for quite a
few months.
It takes about an hour to do a full head of hair. The longest part of
the process is putting in the foils |

|
| After the foils are in and the colouring is done, the
client goes under the dryer to activate the colours. |
|
|
| When completed, the customer has some highlights that will
add zest and vigour to her hair. Stacy points out that her clients range
in age from 12 to as old as 60. In fact, the highlighting process is
becoming most popular among the 40 to 60 year old group who simply want to
feel "hip" and stylish. Foiling is also a great way to colour
hair that is going gray in certain spots of your head. It is easier to
"target" small areas. |
|
|
| You can also get "subtle" natural highlights like
Stacy's shown above. This is after four months. She will likely get
another highlighting done in a couple more months. |
|
|
| Or you can get a more bold, multi-tonel treatment such as
the one sported by Sharon Desmarais, owner of the Cutting Boutique.
A full head of highlights starts at $75, depending on the length of the
hair and the number of colours to be applied. The actual price of your
foil treatment will be determined upon consultation. |
