"One of the biggest barriers for clients who are considering colour is the lack of time. Now service time can be cut in half."

WITH NEW PRO-HEAT TECHNOLOGY
You’ve heard it a thousand times before: clients don’t have time to go lighter in-salon. Instant Highlights from L’Oréal Professionnel is what you need to tempt your time-poor clients back to the salon. Our first pro heat lightening system is designed to give up to six levels of lift, in half the time.The answer lies in its PRO HEAT technology. The three-part system: the Instant Highlights Heating Iron, Instant Highlights Lightening Cream and Instant Highlights Aluminium Foil have to be used together as, once combined, they work to ‘instantly’ lighten the hair in a controlled and safe way.
The L’Oréal Professionnel Instant Highlights tool has been uniquely designed with a spacer between the plates to help protect hair from the damage caused during the heat process. The spacer also has a controlled heat gauge that is designed to regulate the temperature every 0.2 seconds to ensure the safe temperature of 140 degrees at all times – both factors ensure that hair does not have direct contact with heat to prevent damage. It is important to only use the L’Oréal Professionnel Instant Highlights tool together with the bespoke-designed foil and designated lightening cream when performing this service, regular heat appliances must not be used.

Who's the client? “Upgrading clients who are in for cut and blow dry” How did you maximise it? “Add it to the service menu and put it all over social media” What was the business impact? “Early evening when we are waiting for final clients to be finished, by adding an extra colour service we have increased our daily turnover. Time poor clients are able to have an on the spot service”

Who's the client? “Perfect for the client who just doesn’t have time or even better a great upgrade for someone who hasn’t booked into colour” How did you maximise it? “Promote it on Instagram. Seeing is believing and clients get it as soon as they see it” What was the business impact? “Through upselling this service, we have been able to add €60 on to clients total bill (pricing it the same as a T bar) so it’s a great add-on and our business is really seeing the benefit.”

Easy and quick!
Easy to use and as quick as it says! The results are soft and blended and excellent also for the slightly impatiant clients who want to get blonde quickly as this is a great way to gradually lift over a course of appointments but can add extra bits between major colour services.

Quick and easy
After getting a hang of the foils it was a doddle. So easy to use and quick and lifts the hair exactly how I wanted it to. Also makes a changes from just doing highlights all the time

Super speedy service with beautiful results
Loved how well the paste mixes, really comfortable to use. Quick and easy application. Results lovely and clean. Didn't expect such a powerful lift for a quick service as this. Very happy with the results and will definitely use and recommend in the salon.

Excellent, quick and easy!
Very simple to use, the actual mixing and consistency of the product was very good for application. Levels of lift that you get at such a short time span is quite amazing. The model has never had highlights before.

InstaWOW!
This product is incredible! When used on my model we realised how much time was saved! My model has insanely thick hair so it always takes a while to create a look on her hair, so very impressed!!!

Instant highlights
I was surprised at how well it worked to cut through tint. I think it's a great quick service. Mixing is easy and easy to apply. Was super sceptical at first but throughly convinced. Really like it

Brilliant product
I absolutely love insta hi lights it's a quick but effective way to create subtle or bold colour throughout the hair and I think it will be very successful back in the salon

Very clever
Application takes longer than normal so not sure how suitable for our clientele but works great in terms of lift and maybe with more practise will become quicker
