Highlights add brightness and soft contrast through the hair, so your colour looks lighter and more dimensional. The aim is a wearable result that suits your everyday style and grows out neatly. What happens during a highlights appointment? We begin with a consultation to talk through your goals, your current colour and what will be realistic to maintain. Then we create a tailored plan for tone and placement, finish with a polished blow dry and clear next steps for looking after your colour. Are highlights suitable for all hair types and colours? In most cases, yes, highlights can be adapted to different hair types, natural bases and previous colour. We will guide you towards an option that protects condition and still gives you a noticeable, flattering lift. How do I look after my highlights between visits? Use colour friendly shampoo and conditioner, keep heat styling protected, and book trims when you need them so the ends stay healthy. We will recommend a simple routine that keeps your tone fresh and your hair feeling soft. Do I need a patch test before highlights? Patch testing may be required for colour appointments, depending on your history and the products being used. If you are new to colour with us or it has been a while, we will advise you on the safest next step before your appointment.
