Why Highlights Are a Perfect Choice for Blonding: at Taunton’s Leading Hair Salon
At Nichares, we know that achieving natural-looking blonding is an ART. Highlights are a great way to get beautiful, bespoke results. Whether you’re looking for a subtle lift or a bold transformation, highlights offer a range of customisable looks to add depth, brightness, and dimension to elevate your hair.
Why Choose Highlights?
1. Customised Brightness Highlights allow you to control how much brightness you want. Our expert colorists use tailored techniques to strategically place highlights for a result that flatters your features and complements your skin tone. Whether you want a subtle sun-kissed effect or bold, striking contrast, we can create the perfect look.
2. Natural, Soft Blends At Nichares Hairdressing, we pride ourselves on creating soft, seamless blends. Our in-house techniques ensure that your highlights melt naturally into your base colour, giving you a multi-dimensional look that feels effortless and natural, with no harsh lines.
3. Low Maintenance Our expertly applied highlights are not only beautiful but also practical. Because of our advanced blending techniques, regrowth is less noticeable, meaning you can enjoy your look for longer without the need for constant touch-ups.
4. Versatility and Dimension Highlights offer endless styling possibilities. Whether you’re looking to brighten your face, enhance your cut, or add volume and texture, highlights can be tailored to fit your style. From traditional foils to modern techniques, we can create a look as bold or as subtle as you like.
Balayage vs. Highlights: Which is Right for You?
Another popular method for blonding is balayage, which offers a different effect and application method. Here’s how to decide which one is right for you:
Balayage
Balayage, meaning “to sweep” in French, is a freehand painting technique where colour is applied in a more gradual, sweeping motion. The result is a soft, natural transition of colour, with lighter ends and darker roots, mimicking how the sun would naturally lighten the hair. Balayage is perfect for those looking for a low-maintenance, lived-in look, as it grows out beautifully with less noticeable regrowth.
Highlights
In contrast, highlights involve more precise placement of foils to achieve a consistent lightening effect from root to tip. Highlights give more controlled brightness and can create a bolder, more defined look. This method is great if you prefer more noticeable blonding with sharper contrasts between light and dark sections.
Which Should You Choose?
Firstly, it’s okay if you’re not sure- if you can bring some inspo photos with you to your consultation, we can advise you on the best blonding method for you. It’s what we know, love & do everyday!
If you’re looking for a softer, sun-kissed effect with lower upkeep, balayage might be your best option. If you want a more structured and defined blonde look with more brightness from root to tip, highlights are likely the way to go. At Nichares Hairdressing, we offer expert advice and custom techniques to help you decide which method will work best for your hair goals.
