How does this service work?

We apply partial highlights (from ear to ear and fringe to crown) using foils, then apply your base color to the hair between the foils. This creates a beautiful combination of highlighted strands and colored base in the top section of your hair.

How long does this service take?

Tint with partial highlights typically takes 2.5-3 hours, as it combines two color processes. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when you book.

What's the difference between this and tint with full highlights?

This service uses partial highlights (top section only) while tint with full highlights covers your entire head. Partial is more cost-effective and focuses on the most visible areas, while full provides complete coverage.

How often should I get this service?

Most clients schedule this service every 8-12 weeks. You may need root touch-ups (tint retouch with mini partial) in between to maintain your color and highlights.

Can I choose any base color?

Yes! We'll work with you to choose the perfect base color that complements your highlights. During your consultation, we'll discuss color options and what will work best with your skin tone and desired look.

Will this work on previously colored hair?

Yes! This service works great on previously colored hair. We'll assess your current color during consultation and determine the best approach to achieve your desired result.

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.
