Whether you’re after a super bright icy blonde or a sun-kissed golden moment - we’re here to help you achieve your dream look.
What Are Highlights?
Highlights are a classic and timeless colouring technique designed to create a bright and high-contrast effect. This method involves sectioning the hair and applying lightener in foils to ensure an even lift from root to tip. Highlights can be fine and subtle or more contrasting, depending on the look you want to achieve.
Why Choose Highlights?
Super brightening effect – Perfect for those who love a striking blonde or multi-tonal lift.
Precise application – Foils ensure a uniform colour result.
Great for all hair colours – Works beautifully on blondes, brunettes & redheads.
Defined regrowth pattern – Ideal if you prefer a structured colour with noticeable contrast.
What Is Balayage?
Balayage is a freehand colouring technique that creates a seamless, sun-kissed effect. Instead of using foils, the colour is painted onto the hair in soft, sweeping motions to mimic natural highlights. The result is a more blended, lived-in look with a gentle transition between colours.
Why Choose Balayage?
Soft, natural-looking colour – Perfect for a low-maintenance, effortlessly chic style.
Less frequent touch-ups – Blended roots mean less noticeable regrowth.
Customisable placement – Colour is applied strategically to enhance your natural features.
Great for all hair types – Works beautifully on all textures and lengths.
