Partial Highlights with Money Piece at The Vintage Avenue in Biggleswade offer a modern, face-brightening colour service that delivers maximum impact with minimal commitment. This technique combines subtle partial highlights with a bold, face-framing “money piece” to illuminate your features and add dimension to your hairstyle.

What is a Money Piece?

A “money piece” refers to lighter, face-framing strands at the front of your hair, designed to accentuate your facial features and brighten your overall look. This trend has gained popularity for its ability to add a touch of brightness without the need for a full head of highlights.

More information

Who is this service for?

This service is ideal for clients seeking a low-maintenance yet impactful colour enhancement. Whether you’re new to hair colouring or looking to refresh your existing style, Partial Highlights with Money Piece can provide a subtle glow or a bold contrast, depending on your preference.

How long does it take?

Appointments typically last between 2 to 3 hours, depending on your hair’s length, thickness, and desired outcome. This includes consultation, application, processing, toning, and styling.

What’s the process?

Your stylist will begin with a thorough consultation to understand your desired look. Fine sections of hair will be lightened around the face to create the money piece effect, complemented by partial highlights throughout the crown and sides. An optional toner may be recommended to achieve the perfect shade, followed by a nourishing treatment and professional blow-dry.

How often should I book?

To maintain the vibrancy of your highlights, we recommend scheduling touch-up appointments every 8 to 10 weeks. Toner refreshes between appointments can help sustain the desired tone.

    Cannot recommend enough. So much care and attention throughout. At the consultation Sydney made sure she completely understood what I liked and honestly advised what would suit me to ensure I would be happy with the result. She exceeded my expectations with the end result, I’m so happy with my hair, beautifully blended and suits my colouring. Was so well looked after during my colour and cut was so pampering. Also advised on products to help my hair for aftercare. Thank you so much

    Can’t recommend The Vintage Avenue highly enough! Everyone there is SO welcoming and lovely. Want to especially mention Jayne and Chloe who were so fab to chat to and did the best job of my hair - have never been so pleased with the colour after years of trying to achieve a certain blonde! They both took their time to really understand what I wanted and looking forward to my next appointment 😊

    Just visited the lovely team at Vintage Avenue. The very talented Chloe has been blending my greys — not hiding them and I’ve walked out with the prettiest silver hair. I absolutely LOVE it! 😍

    Chloe has been my colourist for years, and I never knew it was possible to have the perfect hair experience every single time! She understands not just my hair, but my lifestyle too. I always leave with a smile and a bounce in my step. ☺️

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between partial highlights and a full head of highlights?
Partial highlights focus on the top, crown and around the parting, rather than foiling the whole head. You still get noticeable brightness, but with more depth left underneath and usually a softer grow-out.
Will a moneypiece look too bold?
It can be anything from subtle to bright. The thickness of the panels and the toner used are chosen to suit how much contrast you want around the face.
Can I have partial highlights if my hair is already coloured?
Often yes, but it depends on what is on your hair and how light you want to go. A consultation helps assess previous colour, condition and the safest way to lift and tone evenly.
How often will I need Partial Highlights / Moneypiece redone?
Many clients refresh the foils every 8 to 12 weeks, depending on regrowth and how bright the moneypiece is. A toner or gloss refresh can be booked in between if the tone starts to look warmer or duller.
Do I need a skin test for highlights?
If you are new to colour or have not had it done for a while, you may need an allergy alert test before your appointment. Your stylist will confirm what is required when you book.
