About this service

What highlights includes at our Cerritos salons

Highlights add dimension by lifting selected strands of hair to a lighter shade than the base color. The technique uses foils or balayage to isolate the strands during processing. Three common variants: full highlights cover the entire head for maximum brightness change, partial highlights focus on the top and around the face for a subtler effect, and mini highlights use a smaller foil count for the most natural look. Pricing varies by hair length and the extent of placement (mini, partial, or full). Most walk-in salons offer toner application as part of the service to ensure the lift lands at the desired tone.

A highlight appointment runs 90-150 minutes depending on length and placement extent. After consultation, the stylist sections the hair and weaves selected strands into foils, applying lightener to each. Foils typically process 30-45 minutes. After rinsing, a toner is applied and processes 10-20 minutes to refine the final shade. Then a shampoo, conditioner, and finishing blow dry. Most clients leave with a noticeable but natural-looking dimension change.

Before your appointment

  • Come in unwashed for 24 hours — natural oils protect during processing
  • Bring inspiration photos — placement language matters more than verbal description
  • Plan a 2-hour window minimum

After your service

  • Use purple shampoo weekly to keep brassy tones at bay (especially blondes)
  • Avoid chlorinated pools first 1-2 weeks — chlorine pulls toner faster than regular shampooing
  • Heat protectant before any hot tool use — lightened hair is more porous and prone to damage
