What's the difference between mini partial and partial highlights?

Mini partial highlights focus on a smaller area—just the Mohawk section (top center) with a few accent pieces around the hairline. Partial highlights cover a larger area from ear to ear and fringe to crown.

How long does a mini partial take?

Mini partial highlights typically take 1.5-2 hours, making them faster than full or partial highlights. This makes them perfect for quick touch-ups or maintenance appointments.

How often should I get mini partial highlights?

Mini partials are great for maintenance between full highlight services, typically every 6-8 weeks. They can also be used as a standalone service for subtle dimension.

Will mini partial highlights be noticeable?

Yes, but in a subtle way. Mini partials add dimension and brightness, especially around your face and the top of your head where they're most visible. They're perfect for a natural, sun-kissed look.

Can I upgrade to a full highlight later?

Absolutely! Many clients start with mini partials and later upgrade to partial or full highlights. We can easily expand your highlights during your next appointment.

What's included in the Mohawk section?

The Mohawk section is the top center portion of your head, running from your forehead back to the crown. This is where the main highlights are placed, with additional 'floater' highlights around the hairline for a natural frame.

Highlight Care Tips

How to prepare for your appointment and protect your highlights at home

Before Your Appointment

Arrive with Clean, Dry Hair

Come to your appointment with clean hair and no heavy styling products. Product build-up can interfere with even lightener application.

Bring Inspiration Photos

Save photos of highlight styles you love—and ones you don't. This helps us understand the exact look you're after, from placement to tone.

Share Your Color History

Let us know about any previous highlights, box color, or chemical treatments. This helps us choose the safest, most effective approach for your hair.

Plan Enough Time

Highlight services range from about 1.5 hours (mini-partial) to 3+ hours (balayage or full highlights). Schedule your day accordingly so you're not rushed.

After Your Appointment

Wait 24–48 Hours Before Washing

Give your toner and lightener time to fully settle. Your first wash can lift freshly deposited tone, so waiting helps the color last longer.

Use Color-Safe, Sulfate-Free Shampoo

Sulfate-free shampoos are gentler on highlighted hair and help preserve your tone between appointments. We'll recommend options that work for your specific highlights.

Use Purple or Blue Shampoo as Needed

For blonde or lightened highlights, a purple or blue shampoo used once a week helps neutralize brassiness and keep your tone fresh.

Protect from Heat and UV

Use a heat protectant before hot tools and consider a UV-protecting hair product for time in the Colorado sun, which can fade highlights over time.

Schedule Regular Touch-Ups

Foil highlights typically need refreshing every 8–10 weeks. Balayage can go 12–16 weeks. We'll help you set a schedule that keeps your look fresh.
