how to choose the right blonding service:

Not sure what to book? Here’s a simple guide:

• Want to be blonde everywhere? → Full Highlight

• Just need brightness on top and around your face? → Partial Highlight

• Want soft, blended, low-maintenance blonde? → Balayage

full highlights

A full highlight means lightening is placed throughout the entire head — including the sides, back, and crown.

Best for:

• Going significantly lighter

• Creating an overall blonde look

• Blending heavy gray

• Major color transformations

• First-time blonding clients

Because highlights are placed all over, you’ll see brightness from every angle. This service creates the most dramatic change and is ideal if you want to feel noticeably lighter and brighter.

Maintenance: Typically every 6–8 weeks, depending on your natural color and desired brightness.

partial highlights

A partial highlight focuses on the most visible areas of your hair — usually the top, sides, and around the face.

Best for:

• Maintaining an existing blonde

• Adding brightness around the face

• A more subtle, natural look

• In-between full highlight appointments

Partial highlights create dimension and refresh your blonde without lightening the entire head. It’s a great option if you want a softer change or lower maintenance.

Maintenance: Often alternated with full highlights to keep your blonde looking fresh without over-processing.

what is balayage?

Balayage is a hand-painted lightening technique that creates soft, blended, natural-looking brightness. Instead of using traditional foils from root to end, your stylist paints lightener onto the hair in a sweeping motion.

The result is:

• A softer grow-out

• A more lived-in, beachy look

• Natural dimension

• Less noticeable regrowth lines

Balayage can be subtle and sun-kissed or bold and high-contrast — it’s completely customizable.

Maintenance: Typically lower than traditional highlights, often every 8–12 weeks or longer depending on how soft you want the grow-out.
