What is a Halo Highlight?

A halo highlight is a face-framing highlighting technique that focuses on brightening the hair around the face and crown, creating a soft, sun-kissed glow. This technique enhances natural movement and dimension without fully lightening the hair. It’s ideal for low-maintenance blonding or adding a pop of brightness between full highlight sessions.

What is a Partial Highlight?

A partial highlight focuses on lightening the top and sides of the hair, typically around the face, crown, and part line, while leaving the underneath section untouched. This creates dimension and contrast without committing to an all-over blonde look. Partial highlights require less maintenance and are great for subtle brightness or touch-ups between full highlights.

What is a Full Highlight?

A full highlight involves adding lightness throughout the entire head, including the top, sides, back, and underneath layers. This technique can create a high-impact blonde look or a natural, dimensional effect depending on the placement and tone. Full highlights require more maintenance but provide a complete transformation for those wanting an all-over lighter appearance.

Highlighting

What is hair highlighting?

Highlighting involves lightening specific sections of hair to add dimension and contrast, creating a sun-kissed appearance.

What are the different types of highlights?

Techniques include foil highlights, balayage, babylights, and chunking, each offering varying effects and maintenance levels.

How long does a highlighting session take?

Depending on the technique and hair length, sessions can last from 2 to 4 hours.

How often should I get my highlights touched up?

Typically, every 6 to 8 weeks, but balayage may allow for longer intervals due to its natural grow-out.

Can highlights be done on dark hair?

Yes, highlights can add dimension to dark hair, with options like caramel or honey tones for a subtle effect.

Will highlights damage my hair?

Lightning can cause some damage, but professional application and proper aftercare minimize risks.

What's the difference between partial and full highlights?

Partial highlights focus on specific areas, like the crown or face-framing pieces, while full highlights cover the entire head.

Can I combine highlights with other color services?

Yes, combining highlights with base color or lowlights can create depth and a more natural look.

How should I care for my highlighted hair?

Use color-safe products, limit heat styling, and incorporate moisturizing treatments to maintain hair health and color vibrancy.

Are highlights suitable for curly or textured hair?

Absolutely! Highlights can enhance the dimension and movement in curly or textured hair.

Foiliage

What is foiliage?

Foiliage combines balayage and foiling techniques, where hair is hand-painted and then wrapped in foil to intensify lightening.

How does foiliage differ from traditional balayage?

Unlike balayage, which is open-air, foiliage uses foils to achieve a brighter and more lifted effect.

How long does a foiliage appointment take?

Typically, 3 to 4 hours, depending on hair length and desired outcome.

How often do I need to maintain foiliage?

Due to its natural grow-out, touch-ups are recommended every 8 to 12 weeks.

Can foiliage be done on dark hair?

Will foiliage damage my hair?

As with any lightening process, there’s potential for damage, but professional application and proper aftercare can minimize it.

What aftercare is recommended for foiliage?
