What to Ask For When Booking Highlights
Highlights range from fine face-framing pieces to full, all-over coverage. The technique matters: balayage is hand-painted, babylights are thin and blended, classic highlights are sectioned foils. When you book, be specific about where you want the lightness and bring photos of what appeals to you. A good color specialist talks through how the service works with your hair type and skin tone, and what touch-ups look like down the line.

Maintenance After Highlights
Highlights fade over time, especially with washing and sun exposure. Most salons recommend using color-safe shampoo and conditioner to keep the tones vibrant. Ask your stylist when you should come back for a touch-up—it usually depends on how fast your hair grows and how far the color travels from the root.
