Lightening

Lightening

Highlighting lightens your hair to emulate what the sun does naturally (if given the time). It gives a healthy natural look. The current fashion is Ombre, where your hair is darker near the crown and gradually lightens as it passes down past the eyes, lips and beyond. The free-hand technique used to achieve this is called balayage, which means ‘to sweep’ in French, the motion we use to apply it.

Foil is often used to insulate the lightening product and speed up its processing in the least damaging way, hence the term ‘foils’. But foil is also used for ‘low-lighting’ (darker sections used to accentuate adjacent high-lights) or on free-hand lightening.

Upon consultation, some naturally darker haired clients going lighter will require a Shades EQ Gloss to soften unwanted colour tones.

All Lightening prices are ‘starting from’, include Redken pH Bonder, a style blow wave and are GST inclusive.
