Quick Links

Consultation

  • Purpose: We start by understanding your preferences and the style you want to achieve.
  • Discussion: We’ll talk about your lifestyle, hair type, and any specific concerns you might have.
  • Assessment: We’ll examine your hair and scalp condition to recommend the best haircut and grooming techniques for you.

Preparation

  • Hot Towel: We start with a hot towel treatment to soften your facial hair and open up your pores.
  • Pre-Shave Oil: A layer of pre-shave oil is applied to protect your skin and provide a smooth base for the razor.

Application of Highlights

  • Choosing the Color: Based on our consultation, we’ll mix the perfect highlight color for you.
  • Foiling: We use foils to isolate the strands of hair that will be highlighted. This technique allows for precise application and helps the color process more effectively.
  • Balayage: For a more natural, sun-kissed look, we can use the balayage technique, where the color is hand-painted onto your hair.
  • Ombre/Sombre: These techniques involve a gradual transition from dark to light, with ombre having a more pronounced contrast and sombre being more subtle.
  • Processing Time: We’ll let the highlights process for the appropriate amount of time, checking periodically to ensure the color develops evenly.

Rinsing and Conditioning

  • Rinsing: Once the highlights have processed, we’ll rinse your hair thoroughly to remove the color.
  • Shampooing: A color-safe shampoo will be used to cleanse your hair without stripping away the new color.
  • Conditioning: We’ll apply a deep conditioner to hydrate and nourish your hair, ensuring it remains healthy and shiny.

Styling and Finishing

  • Drying: Your hair will be blow-dried to reveal the final color and texture of the highlights.
  • Styling: We’ll style your hair to showcase your new highlights, whether you prefer sleek and straight, voluminous curls, or anything in between.
  • Final Touches: Any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure your highlights look perfect and blend seamlessly with your natural hair.
