We love this technique at Voodou salons in Liverpool! For face-framing, we use highlights to brighten the look around your face - rather than running colour throughout your hair. This is classed as sample/part foils around your face.
The money piece highlight technique allows your Voodou hair colourist to place a brighter pop of colour in the pieces of hair directly framing the face. This particular hair trend is BIG for 2022 and has swept through salons and social media feeds galore! You can stay subtle with an ultra-fine sun-kissed highlight, go bold with neon colours, or stick with a classic streak of blonde, red, black, or brown to compliment whatever shade you already have.
Sample foils are ideal if this is your first time changing your hair colour, and is great way to adding a flash of colour in a particular area such as your fringe or parting. Up to 8 foils are woven or sliced into your hair to create a dramatic or subtle look, it’s up to you. A few cleverly placed foil highlights can refresh your existing hair colour, or even help to contour your hair.
If you’re after a bit more colour, with partial foils, our colour experts can add foils, either woven or sliced, or randomly colour different sections of your hair to create a look that is unique to you. This is a great technique for adding highlights or low-lights to your hair.
With this hair colouring technique, our Voodou artists can add as many colours as you wish, creating bold rainbow hair or a natural looking dimensional colour.
The Balayage technique allows your Voodou stylist to achieve graduated, natural-looking, dimensional colour. This ‘hair painting’ colouring technique is a Voodou hair salon favourite.
If you’re after one colour all over, our stylists can apply an all-over colour to the full head, whether that be pastel pink or a deep brunette.
Did you know you can add shine to your hair using the glossing hair colouring technique? This semi-permanent hair colour contains bee’s wax, which gently conditions hair whilst adding depth to your look, whether your hair is natural or already coloured. Glossing can be used to add tone to your hair colour and even camouflage grey hair.
Inspired by the biggest makeup trend of recent years, hair contouring has arrived. Our colour specialists have had expert training on this brand new hair colour application technique. Hair contouring is applied using free hand application designed to look completely natural.
Your Voodou hair stylist can work with you to determine your face shape, then create unique shades to flatter your face shape and show off your best features, just like you would with makeup contouring.

We want to ensure that you can wear your hair system in the most natural way without having any complications, we will ask you a few questions in our consultation session to make sure we advise on how to get the best results.
No, in order for the system to fully cure, it is best to wait 24-48 hours before sweating profusely. Also it is advised not to shower for the first 24 hours after your hair replacement system is fitted.
4-6 weeks is an approximation of the time the hair system will hold. The duration of wear will depend on how you sweat and correct usage of recommended products.
Not caring for your system or following the aftercare advice given can reduce the wearing time. We can provide you with more information when you come in for your appointment with us at Voodou.
No one will know that you are wearing a hair replacement system as they are undetectable. Even close up. Our systems are made with a lace or a skin poly base. Both replicate the scalp and the hair will look as if it is growing from your own scalp.
Each hair system has an average lifespan before a replacement is required. It will depend on how well you care and look after your hair system, but typically the hair lasts around 3-5 months, some of our clients have made them last a lot longer.
All hair systems will lose hair over time, just like normal natural hair that sheds. The hair is ventilated into either a lace or skin base system so hair will shed over a period of time.
Your Voodou stylist will provide full details of how to look after your hair system including washing, conditioning and the best styling products all of which is covered in your free consultation.
