We start with a detailed consultation to understand your goals and maintenance preferences. Your colourist plans placement and tone to suit your cut and complexion, applies colour with care, then refines the shade and finishes with a polished style. Who is highlighting best for? This category suits anyone seeking brightness, softness or dimension without colouring every strand. It can blend early greys, refresh faded colour or create bolder contrast, tailored for all hair types, textures and genders. How often will I need maintenance? Most clients refresh highlights every 8 to 12 weeks, depending on hair growth, desired brightness and how subtle the blend is. Your colourist will agree a plan that fits your lifestyle, from low maintenance refreshes to seasonal updates. How should I care for highlighted hair? Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, limit heat, and protect hair from sun and chlorine. Regular trims and nourishing treatments help keep colour fresh and hair strong. We will recommend a simple routine to match your hair and schedule. Will highlighting damage my hair? Your hair health comes first. We assess condition, choose suitable strength and timing, and use techniques that respect your hair’s integrity. With proper aftercare, highlighted hair can stay soft, glossy and resilient.
