Full Head Of Highlights

Firstly, let's start with a definition of what highlights are. Highlights involve your hair being bleached or coloured a lighter colour. A full head of highlights involves applying bleach on strands of hair throughout every section of your hair. This creates a dramatic blonde hair colour. If you're looking for a more subtle affect, we can apply a half head of highlights which involves applying highlights to the top, most visible sections of your hair.

Money Piece

The money piece is also known as face framing highlights and this involves the front sections of your hair being highlighted a lighter colour than the rest of your hair. This is a great way to make your overall hair colour appear lighter without having to bleach the rest of your hair. It also brings attention to your face for a beautifully bright affect. Typically, the money piece is coupled with balayage hair colour.

Bespoke Balayage

Balayage involves our skilled colour technicians hand-painting highlights throughout your hair to mimic where the sun would naturally lighten it. As the balayage specialists in High Wycombe, we can create a bespoke balayage that is tailored to be as subtle or dramatic as you would like.

Multi-Dimensional Highlights

Multi-dimensional highlights are a great way to add depth and dimension to your hair colour. Through this, we apply highlights and lowlights. Lowlights involve a darker shade than your base hair colour being applied to your hair. Our expert hair colourists can do this to enhance your natural hair colour to create a completely different hair colour to suit you.
