Who it suits

Highlights work on most hair from blonde to dark brown and on most lengths. Anastasiia has 10 years of coloring experience and names highlights as the main technique for the American market: it gives dimension, softens regrowth and can be as subtle or as bright as you want.

How the appointment goes

• Consultation on your hair history, the shade you want and the maintenance you are ready for
• Lightening in foils or by hand, depending on the service
• Toner or gloss to set the exact tone
• Bond repair or conditioning treatment if needed
• Haircut and blowdry to finish

How much

Partial highlights and face framing start at $250, balayage and bleach and tone at $350, full highlights with toner at $450. Prices are starting prices; the final price depends on length, density, previous color and the result, and is confirmed before any work begins.
