What Our Clients Say About Us

Here’s what Salotto Salon guests really say about their visits:

“I was way overdue for a haircut and found Salotto on Yelp. I called, and the receptionist was very friendly and was able to fit me in on a Saturday with Anthony. The girls I interacted with at the salon were all really nice, and I enjoyed chatting with Anthony as he cut my hair. Love my cut and overall had a great experience here. I'm glad this place is near home. I'll be back.”

The staff is very professional and very talented. I always admire the beautiful results when clients leave. My hair is soft and healthy because of the great products. I always feel pampered and well taken care of. So grateful that I found this salon.”

What Are Partial Foil Highlights?

Partial foil highlights use foils in select sections rather than in every layer. Most guests choose the top and sides plus a soft face frame, since those areas catch light first and show the most impact day to day.

This is also a great fit if you are new to highlights and want a polished change that still feels like you.

Benefits of Doing Partial Foil Highlights

Partial foil highlights boost brightness where it shows most, then keep upkeep simple.

Adds Natural Dimension

Selective placement creates contrast in the most visible areas, so hair looks dimensional rather than overly done. Even so, we keep the blend soft, so your highlights complement your base tone and your cut.

Less Time Than Full Highlights

A partial service uses fewer foils, making it easier to fit into a busy schedule. You still get the clean brightness and precise placement that classic foiling delivers.

Lower Maintenance Grow Out

Because we focus on key sections, regrowth tends to look softer as weeks pass. With the right toner choice, the blend stays flattering longer.
