Hair Highlights

From sun-kissed face-framing balayage to full transformations, our highlight services are hand-painted, foiled, or teasy-lit based on what your hair needs and how lived-in you want the result. Every highlight finishes with a custom toner and bond treatment, so brightness lasts and hair stays healthy.

What to Expect

1. Consultation — Bring inspo photos. We discuss placement, brightness, maintenance, and what's realistic for your starting point.
2. Technique selection — Foils, balayage, teasy-lights, mini-lights, or bowl-ayage — each technique creates a different effect.
3. Toner + Olaplex / Innersense bond treatment — Custom toner finishes the look; bond treatment keeps hair strong through lift.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do highlights last?

Most clients refresh every 8–14 weeks depending on technique. Balayage grows out softer than foils so it tends to last longer between visits.

What's bowl-ayage?

Our signature face-framing technique that brightens around the face for instant glow without committing to a full highlight.

Will highlights damage my hair?

Lift is real chemistry, but with Olaplex / Innersense bond builders integrated into every formula, breakage is dramatically reduced.

Can I do highlights over previously colored hair?

Yes — we'll assess condition and history first. For heavily color-treated or banded hair, a correction consultation may be needed.
