Foils, for your
brightest blonde.
Even, luminous lift from root to tip, from Tara Quin, a colour specialist in Teneriffe who does every step herself. Partial from $170, full head from $315.
Foils at a glance
Foils are fine sections of hair painted with lightener and wrapped in foil, for a brighter, more even lift than any open-air technique.
The foil keeps the lightener warm, so it lifts right up to the root. That makes foils the choice for the lightest blondes and brightness around the face. A brighter root shows regrowth a little sooner than balayage.

Your foils, step by step
- 1
Consult
Tara looks at your hair in person, talks through your colour history and how bright you want to go, and confirms the plan and the price before anything begins.
- 2
Foil
Fine sections of hair are painted with lightener and wrapped in foil, which holds in heat and moisture so the colour lifts evenly, right up to the root.
- 3
Tone
A toner or gloss sets the exact shade, from cool and bright to warm and golden.
- 4
Finish
Your colour is rinsed, dried and finished so you can see it in full. A cut and style can be added, priced separately.

How much do foils cost?
At Tara Quin Hair in Teneriffe, partial foils start from $170, half head foils from $235, three-quarter head foils from $290 and full head foils from $315. Toner is an additional cost, from $60, and is quoted at your consultation. All prices include GST.
Do I need partial, half or full head foils?
Partial foils brighten around the face and parting, half head foils add lightness through the top and sides, and full head foils give all-over brightness or full coverage of regrowth. Tara recommends the right amount at your consultation, based on your hair and how bright you want to go.
Should I get foils or balayage?
Foils lift brighter and more evenly, right up to the root, so they suit the lightest blondes and strong brightness around the face. Balayage is hand-painted for a softer grow-out and longer gaps between visits. Many of Tara’s clients combine both: foils through the top and balayage underneath.
How long does a foil appointment take?
A full head foil appointment usually takes 2.5 to 4 hours, including consultation, application, toning and finish. Partial and half head foils take less time, and longer or thicker hair sits at the higher end.
Brilliant blonde,
all yours.
