Partial Foil in Wilmington, NC
Soft Dimension, Seamless Brightness
$175
Aura Beauty Salon and Scalp Spa offers more than just color. We focus on creating a calm, personalized experience where you feel cared for every step of the way. Our partial foil hair treatment adds light in just the right places, typically around the hairline, crown, and sides. This technique creates soft contrast that brightens your overall appearance while preserving your natural base. If you’re looking for a subtle update with less maintenance than full color, our custom partial foil service offers beautiful results designed around your hair goals and lifestyle.
Your appointment starts with a detailed consultation. We’ll discuss your current color, what you’d like to change, and how you typically style your hair. We’ll also review any inspirational photos and discuss your long-term goals.
During the partial foil hair service, foils are strategically placed to catch the light in all the right spots. After rinsing, you’ll enjoy a relaxing shampoo on a lay-flat bed with built-in heat and massage, plus a scalp steam and aromatherapy towel. During your hair treatment, waterproof headphones and a spa playlist create a peaceful atmosphere. Our style highlights your personality and brings out the best in your color.
