Not your average blowdry. Includes a double cleanse, conditioning, and scalp massage before your choice of blowout, curls, or flat iron finish. Add a Hair Rx or Scalp Care upgrade if your strands or scalp need extra love.

This dimensional blonding service uses a combination of techniques—like babylights, classic highlights, and teasy lights to create a blended balayage—tailored to your desired level of brightness and contrast. The result is a sun-kissed, low-maintenance look that grows out seamlessly.
 
Finished with a gloss and teardrop melt through the parting to soften the transition for a flawless finish.
​
Best for: Blondes looking for softness, dimension, and a smooth grow-out.

Includes:

Custom foil work
Gloss
Teardrop root melt

A little light where it counts.

Face-framing foils (typically 10–15)
Toner
Haircut
Blowout + style finish

THE FACE FRAME EDIT

LONG & THICK HAIR

Just need your roots touched up? This one’s for solid, all-over colour clients on a regular maintenance schedule. We cover your regrowth and give you a full style finish—no gloss, no extras.
Best for: Grey coverage or keeping a single-shade colour looking clean.
Heads up: No toner included—book The Solid Reset for full-length refresh.

THE ROOT REFRESH & FINISH

For hair that’s past the shoulders, thick, or high-density. Extra time is built in to ensure a seamless application and finish.



Full colour from root to ends—your fresh start!
 If your ends are faded or your tone needs balancing, this full root-to-tip application gives you that rich, fresh, unified finish.
Best for: Going darker, changing tone, or just pressing reset on your colour.
Includes: Full colour, cut, and styled finish.

THE SOLID RESET

Our signature haircut—customized for your hair, lifestyle, and vibe.
Includes a double cleanse using stylist-recommended products, a conditioning ritual with a Fika-famous scalp massage, and a precision cut tailored to your texture and goals. We finish with a full blowout or heat styling of your choice—whether that’s soft waves, sleek and straight, or a natural polish.

For guests with naturally curly or coily hair
Our Curl Specialists are located at our Kanata studio and are best suited to support curl focused services.

✨ Want extra shine, moisture, or scalp support? Add a Hair Rx or Scalp Care treatment to level up your results.
