Highlights

Highlights add lightness and depth for a fresher, more dimensional look. Each appointment is tailored to your hair, your desired brightness, and how you want it to grow out, leaving a blended finish that feels easy to wear.

More information

Highlights are ideal for lifting and brightening your colour without committing to an all-over change. We begin with a consultation to agree the level of contrast, placement and tone, then work carefully for an even, well-blended result. Expect shine, dimension, and a finish that grows out softly. You will also get clear guidance on at-home care, including the right cleansing routine and heat protection, so your colour stays fresh and your hair stays in good condition between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What results can I expect from highlights?
Highlights add brightness and dimension, creating movement through the hair and a more polished overall colour. The finish can be subtle and natural or more noticeable, depending on your goal. Placement and tone are chosen to suit your hair and how you like to wear it.
What happens during a highlights appointment?
You will start with a consultation to agree the look you want and what your hair can comfortably achieve. The service is carried out with careful sectioning and colouring, followed by finishing to check the blend and overall tone. You will leave with aftercare advice to help maintain colour and condition.
How long do highlights last and when should I rebook?
Most clients find highlights stay looking good for weeks because regrowth is usually softer than with a solid colour. When to rebook depends on your natural regrowth, how bright you go, and your preferred level of contrast. As a guide, many people return every 6 to 12 weeks.
Are highlights suitable for previously coloured hair?
Highlights can often be added to previously coloured hair, but the plan depends on what is already on your hair and its current condition. Your stylist will assess colour history and strength before starting, then recommend a realistic route to your desired result. Protecting hair health is always part of the approach.
How should I look after my hair after getting highlights?
Use a colour-friendly shampoo and conditioner, and keep hydration consistent to maintain shine and softness. Limit heat and always use a heat protectant to reduce fading and dryness. If your tone starts to feel warmer or dull, ask what home care will help keep it looking fresh.
