What to look for in a highlights specialist
A highlights specialist should walk you through what the service entails—whether you want dimensional balayage, traditional foils, or something in between. Ask to see before-and-afters of their own work, not filtered portfolio shots. A good specialist will also talk about your hair type, how often you'll need touch-ups, and how to maintain color between appointments. Don't assume a salon that "does highlights" does them the way you want. Ask the specific questions before you book.
