The Luscious Look of Highlights

Highlights can be subtle or dramatic, depending on the shade contrast and how heavy we go with them. Highlights can be placed around the face or in the mohawk area to give a boost in brightness. Or we can do a full head of highlights to have a transformative effect on your overall color. When it comes to adding highlights, even subtle changes can make a big beauty impact.

Total Transformations with Highlights

Adding highlights doesn't mean your "going blonde." We can stay in your natural shade range and add dimension using either a foil highlight or balayage technique.  Look at how these caramel highlights totally transform this dark brunette into a beautiful lived-in color.

A full head of blonde highlights takes this client from brunette with grown-out color to a gorgeous rooted blonde. Exposing some darker tones at the root creates that lived-in color and gives you a graceful grow in too.

Brunette Balayage Highlights

Balayage highlights give these two brunettes those warm auburn tones. Different than the finished look of a foil highlight, a balayage concentrates the color placement from mid-section to the ends, which gives the hair a sun-kissed look. 

Subtle Chocolate Highlights

Highlights are versatile - they don't need to be drastic to be effective. Look at the layers of yummy chocolate and caramel richness in this balayage done on a deep, rich brunette shade.
