Highlights

Highlights add light, depth and movement through your hair while keeping the look refined and wearable. We tailor placement and tone to suit you, then finish with balanced colour and healthy shine.

More information

Our highlights are ideal when you want brighter hair that still feels natural and considered. Your appointment begins with a focused consultation so we can agree the level of brightness, placement and overall tone to complement your cut, complexion and lifestyle. We work with careful sectioning and blending to create soft dimension and a more even grow-out. You will leave with a polished finish and straightforward advice on home care to keep your colour fresh, glossy and easy to maintain between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect when booking highlights?
You can expect a consultation first, where we discuss your goals, lifestyle and how bold or natural you would like the result to look. The service focuses on tailored placement and tone for a well-blended finish. We will also share aftercare guidance so the colour stays bright and glossy.
Who are highlights best suited for?
Highlights suit anyone wanting added brightness, dimension and movement without a flat, single-colour look. They can be ideal if you want a softer transition as your hair grows, or if you would like a more lifted look around the face. We will tailor the approach to your hair type and day-to-day styling habits.
How do you choose the right tone for my highlights?
We consider your natural base, previous colour, skin tone and the overall finish you want, such as warm, cool or neutral. We will also talk about maintenance, as some tones hold their look longer than others between appointments. The aim is a flattering, wearable result that complements your style.
Will highlights affect the condition of my hair?
Any lightening process needs a careful, professional approach, so we prioritise hair condition throughout. We assess your hair first and adjust the plan to protect strength and shine. You will be advised on the best home care to support softness and manageability after colouring.
How should I look after my hair after highlights?
Use a colour-friendly shampoo and conditioner, limit excessive heat, and always apply heat protection when styling. Regular conditioning at home helps maintain softness and shine, especially on lighter pieces. If your tone starts to look less fresh, we can recommend the right refresh routine at your next visit.
