Face Frame Highlights
£75
This service involves the strategic placement of foils around the face to create a “framing” effect. It helps to accentuate your features and is ideal if you want to give your look an extra boost without committing to a half/full head of foils.
Half Head of Highlights
£110
The most popular hair highlighting service – half of the hair is highlighted and usually the most visible sections (such as the ones on the top) are incorporated to create an even lightening from roots to ends.
This typically becomes a maintenance treatment after the hair has been fully highlighted. It helps to eliminate harsh regrowth and allows you to extend salon visits by up to 3 months.
Full Head of Highlights
£145
The full amount and length of hair is incorporated into the foils for highlighting, producing a highly dimensional and dynamic-looking style.
The level of lightening and contrast can be adjusted accordingly to your unique preferences. To maintain the look, half a head of highlights are recommended every 3-4 months for optimal results.
Balayage
£160
This is a classic technique that “sweeps” or freely paints colour onto the hair to produce soft, graduated highlights. The final result can range from a natural, sun-kissed look to very blonde in the ends.
Usually a combination of highlighting and hand-painting techniques are used to achieve maximum blend.
Babylights
£200
Ever thought that highlights could be “babyfied”? Babylights consist of many finely-woven “micro” highlights that are placed within back to back foils. The result is a seamless, ultra-blonde finish – great if you’re looking to go super blonde without resorting to a full hair colour.
Air Touch
£300
One of the most advanced hair highlighting techniques to this day – the Air Touch. It uses air from the hair dryer, as opposed to teasing/backcombing, to separate and lighten fine hair strands for a flawless blend of colour.
Please Note: if you’re a new customer and have booked a highlighting service, you will need to contact us to arrange a patch test – ideally 24-48 hours before the appointment.
Commonly Asked Questions
What is the difference between classic highlights and babylights?
Classic highlights provide a more dimensional, contrasted look as bigger sections of the hair are highlighted. On the other hand, babylights consist of many finely woven “micro” highlights that emulate a highly subtle, natural sun-kissed effect (think of children’s naturally highlighted hair!)
What is the difference between balayage and ombre?
Both techniques produce a gradient effect, but differ in the way they’re applied and the final looks they achieve. With balayage, colour/lightener is painted freely onto the hair to create an organic, sun-kissed look where the highlights blend in seamlessly. As ombre is a more structured technique where colour is placed horizontally across the hair, the dark to light gradient effect is more noticeable and pronounced.
Balayage can take between 1-4 hours depending on the hair’s length, density, texture etc. and even longer if more work is required. The same applies to ombre.
How often should highlights get touched up?
Generally, hair highlighting services should be done every 12-16 weeks depending on the individual rate of hair growth and level of contrast between the highlights and natural colour. If one’s hair grows quicker and the contrast becomes visible earlier on, 6-12 weeks is the ideal time frame for maintenance.
