Sometimes, the smallest color change makes the biggest impact. At Craft Collective Salon Group, face-framing highlights are one of our signature services, adding brightness, definition, and a youthful glow without a full color overhaul.


This subtle technique focuses light around your face, enhancing your eyes, skin tone, and bone structure. Whether you prefer sun-kissed ribbons or soft contouring, face-framing highlights deliver an instant refresh that elevates your look.


What Are Face-Framing Highlights?

Face-framing highlights, or “money pieces,” are precise color placements near your part and hairline. They:


– Brighten your complexion

– Add dimension and contrast

– Enhance layering and movement

– Grow out seamlessly


Why Clients Love This Look

Face-framing highlights are ideal for quick transformations and low-maintenance upkeep.


They offer:


– Noticeable lift with minimal processing

– Low-stress grow-out

– Adaptability across tones and textures

– Seasonal flexibility, lighter in summer, softer in winter


They’re the perfect accent for clients who already love their base color but want to revive brightness around the face.


How We Create the Perfect Frame

Every highlight placement at Craft Collective is customized through our Custom Hair Color Formulation.


  1. Consultation: We evaluate your undertone, base color, and haircut.

  2. Placement Mapping: Highlights are hand-painted to frame the cheeks and jawline.

  3. Balayage or Foil Technique: We choose the method that best suits your desired contrast.

  4. Glossing Finish: We refine tone with a Gloss & Shine Enhancement for mirror-like reflection.

  5. Bond Protection: Each service includes Hair Treatments & Health steps to preserve strength and hydration.


Best Shades for Every Base

Brunettes: Honey or caramel ribbons for warm contrast

Blondes: Champagne or soft beige tones for light diffusion

Redheads: Copper-gold or rose undertones for extra radiance


We often pair this with a Root Smudge & Shadow Root to create seamless transitions and longevity.


Seasonal Inspiration

Spring: Light beige pieces for a gentle refresh

Summer: Brighter golden ribbons that glow in sunlight

Fall: Butterscotch or amber tones for cozy warmth

Winter: Neutral or icy glosses for crisp contrast

Maintenance Tips

– Wash with Product Education & Hair Care, approved sulfate-free shampoo.

– Schedule a gloss refresh every 6 to 8 weeks.

– Use heat protection and UV-safe leave-ins.

– Deep condition once a week for shine and elasticity.


Sustainable Coloring

Our Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Salon practices ensure every service supports both your beauty and the environment. We use cruelty-free, low-tox systems and recycle all foils, tubes, and excess product through Green Circle Salons.
