Quick decision guide
Partial highlights
Best when the top, part line, and visible sides need brightness. Blow-dry is not included. Please book Blow Out separately, or add the $95 Haircut, which includes a blow-dry.
Full highlights
Best when the whole head needs a broader blonde or dimensional shift. Blow-dry is not included. Please book Blow Out separately, or add the $95 Haircut, which includes a blow-dry.
Pricing and timing
Know the starting point before you book.
Highlights work best when placement is chosen first. I plan where brightness should show, how much contrast you want, and how the tone should finish after the glaze or toner. Foil placement ranges from babylights (the finest weave) to chunkier ribbons depending on the brightness shift you want. Lowlights are foiled in the same appointment when the canvas needs depth added back.
If the goal is platinum or ash from a darker base, that is a double-process appointment, not a single highlight session. Shades I foil most often: honey, caramel, copper, ash, beige, mushroom, strawberry blonde, soft platinum. Florida humidity is factored into the tone so the brightness reads warm in coastal sun, not brassy. A partial highlight is about 30 foils, a full is 60 to 75, and most clients come back every 6 to 8 weeks for a retouch.
The two-week guarantee. If the cut or color does not sit right within two weeks, contact me. I will fix it free.

Common questions
Is a blow-dry included with color?
Blow-dry is not included. Please book Blow Out separately, or add the $95 Haircut, which includes a blow-dry. Gloss and Finish includes a blow-dry.
How much do highlights cost in Venice, FL?
Face Frame is $135 for 10 foils around the face to brighten, in a 60-minute appointment. Partial Foil with toner is $195. Full Foil with toner is $250. Glaze is included on partial and full at no extra cost.
How long does a highlight appointment take?
Face framing is 1 hour. Partial Foil is 2 hours. Full highlights are 2 hours. Time includes consultation, placement, processing and toner for Partial and Full Foil. Blow-dry is booked separately.
What's the difference between partial and full highlights?
Partial covers the visible top, part line, and face-framing area (roughly half the head). Full covers the entire head including the back and underneath. Partial is right for a refresh. Full is right for a broader brightness shift.
Should I book highlights or balayage?
Highlights for stronger lift, brighter root-area coverage, and more controlled placement. Balayage for softer lived-in dimension and a less visible grow-out. I will recommend the right one at consultation.
How often should I touch up highlights?
Most clients touch up partial highlights every 6 to 8 weeks. Full highlights typically stretch to 10 to 14 weeks with a glaze refresh between.
Will highlights damage my hair?
I use Schwarzkopf professional formulas with bond builder and run a porosity check before choosing the lift level. If the hair is already compromised, I will say so and recommend a gentler approach.
Are partial highlights enough?
Usually, if the visible top and front need brightness. Full highlights are better when the back and underneath also need to shift.

People also ask
How much are hair highlights in Venice FL?
Most highlights in Venice come back too brassy, too striped, or too defined for what the client actually wanted. I get it. After 30+ years and 15,000+ clients, I read your hair, your face shape, and your maintenance window before I weave a single foil. Face-framing $135. Partial Foil $195. Full Foil $250. Schwarzkopf glaze included on partial and full. Every weave planned, every tone locked at the rinse. Blow-dry is not included. Please book Blow Out separately, or add the $95 Haircut, which includes a blow-dry. Gloss and Finish includes a blow-dry.
Hair Highlights Venice FL, done by me
Highlights are the right tool for brightness and definition. Wrong tool for invisible grow-out.
30 years. 15,000+ heads. Every appointment runs through what I call The Highlight Map: three reads before a tool touches your hair. That is why my work holds tone, why your grow-out reads natural, and why my chair sits at 5.0 across 100+ Google reviews.
Weave
Section by section
Foils are woven, not painted. I plan the weave pattern by section so brightness sits where it actually shows on your styling day.
Lift
Sealed and timed
Each foil traps body heat, processes evenly, gives maximum lift balayage cannot match.
Tone
Schwarzkopf glaze at the rinse
Custom-mixed glaze refines the result so foils stay tonal, not brassy.
Foil highlight types Scott offers
Face-framing highlights brighten the front hairline only: 10 foils placed where the light hits when you look at yourself in the mirror. Partial highlights cover the top and visible sides for a stronger, all-over visible refresh. Full highlights add brightness through the entire head including the back, which matters when you wear your hair up or part it differently.
Most clients can stay with partial highlights as a maintenance cycle once the first full highlight has been done. The exception is when gray coverage at the roots or a major contrast goal needs the broader treatment.
Glaze is included in every full and partial highlight service
Glazing after foil highlights refines the tone: neutralizes brass, adjusts warm or cool finish, and adds the shine that makes the brightness look intentional instead of stripped. At Scott Farmer Hair Salon, the glaze is built into the published price for partial and full highlight services. Other Venice salons commonly add the glaze as a $40-$80 line item.
Highlights for thin, fine, or color-treated hair in Venice
Thin and fine hair needs a lighter touch with the lift: too much contrast in too few foils makes the brightness feel patchy instead of dimensional. Color-treated hair needs the previous color factored into the formula so the new lift does not pull warm or uneven. Bring a current-hair photo and a goal photo to the consultation. Scott will tell you whether the appointment needs to be a partial, a full, or staged across two visits.
What’s included in every highlight appointment
- Real consultation: current color, density, goal photo, foil placement plan. The placement is decided before the first foil.
- Foil placement: face-framing, partial, or full. The number of foils matches the result, not the booking length.
- Glaze included on Partial and Full Foil: neutralizes brass, refines tone, adds shine. Most Venice salons charge $40-$80 extra for this step.
- Finish options: Blow-dry is not included. Please book Blow Out separately, or add the $95 Haircut, which includes a blow-dry.
Face Frame: $135, 60 minutes, 10 foils around the face to brighten. Partial Foil with toner: $195, 120 minutes. Full Foil with toner: $250, 120 minutes. Published prices. Blow-dry is not included. Please book Blow Out separately, or add the $95 Haircut, which includes a blow-dry.
How a foil hair highlights Venice FL appointment is planned
Three options, and which one you book depends on the result you want, not the booking time. Face-framing if the front hairline is where you want the brightness. Partial if the top and visible sides need the lift. Full if you wear your hair up, switch your part, or want the back to read the same as the front.
Face Framing: $135. Partial Foil: $195. Full Foil: $250. Glaze is included on the partial and full. That alone usually saves clients $40 to $80 compared to other Venice salons that bill the glaze as a separate line. Blow-dry is not included. Please book Blow Out separately, or add the $95 Haircut, which includes a blow-dry.
