What Are Hair Highlights?
Highlights are a technique used to lighten certain strands of your hair, creating a multidimensional effect. They involve applying a lighter shade of colour than your base tone, which can be anything from soft blondes to vibrant shades, depending on your preference. Highlights are not just for blondes—brunettes and redheads can benefit too, as the technique adds depth, brightness, and dimension to any hair colour. At Salon No. 100, we use the best products and techniques to ensure your highlights blend seamlessly with your natural hair, creating a vibrant and flattering look.
Highlights are typically applied using a method called foiling. In this process, your hair is sectioned off, and strands are wrapped in foil after the application of the lifting colour. This allows the colour to develop while keeping the rest of your hair protected, resulting in a controlled and precise colour-lightening application. The foiling technique ensures that your highlights blend naturally, leaving you with a soft, multidimensional finish.
Our stylists at Salon No. 100 take great care in personalising the placement of each highlight to suit your haircut and style. Whether you prefer delicate, natural highlights or a more dramatic, high-contrast look, our team will create a customised result that’s perfect for you.

What Are the Benefits of Highlights?
One of the major benefits of highlights is their versatility. Whether you’re looking to brighten up your natural colour or completely transform your look, highlights offer endless possibilities. Here are some reasons why highlights are so popular:
- Natural, sun-kissed effect: Highlights can give your hair that fresh-from-the-sun look without requiring a trip to the beach.
- Low maintenance: Since highlights blend with your natural hair, they tend to grow out more subtly than a full-colour treatment, meaning fewer touch-ups.
- Added dimension: Highlights add depth and texture, making your hair look fuller and more voluminous.
- Customisable: Our highlights can be as bold or as understated as you like, allowing you to experiment with your style.

What Are the Benefits of Highlights?
Who Are Highlights Best Suited For?
Highlights are suitable for all hair types and colours, making them an excellent option for anyone looking to enhance their style. However, they work particularly well on hair that’s at least shoulder-length, as this allows for more visible dimension. They can also be a great option for anyone looking to brighten up their natural colour without the commitment of a full-colour dye.
At Salon No. 100, our expert stylists will take the time to consult with you before your appointment, ensuring that your highlights complement your skin tone, hair texture, and overall style. Whether you’re a regular highlight lover or considering them for the first time, we’ll work with you to create a personalised look that you’ll love.

How Long Do Highlights Last?
The longevity of your highlights will depend on your hair’s natural growth and the type of look you’re after. Typically, highlights last around 2-3 months before a touch-up may be needed. However, because highlights blend naturally with your hair, the regrowth tends to be subtle, meaning you can go longer between appointments if you prefer a more lived-in look.
For those looking to maintain vibrant, fresh highlights, we recommend visiting Salon No. 100 every 8-12 weeks for a toner refresh or touch-up. Our team can provide advice on how often you should come in based on your individual hair type and the look you want to achieve.

FAQ
1. How do highlights differ from balayage?
Highlights involve applying colour to specific strands of hair using foils, whereas balayage is a freehand technique where colour is painted onto the hair. Highlights tend to be more structured, while balayage offers a more natural, sun-kissed effect.
2. Can I get highlights if I have dark hair?
Absolutely! Highlights can work beautifully on dark hair, adding depth, contrast, and brightness. Our stylists at Salon No. 100 can customise your highlights to suit your natural colour and desired look.
3. How often should I get my highlights touched up?
On average, highlights need a touch-up every 2-3 months. However, because highlights blend with your natural hair, you can extend this time depending on your preference for a more lived-in look.
4. Are highlights damaging to my hair?
When done correctly by a professional stylist, highlights should not cause significant damage. At Salon No. 100, we use high-quality products and techniques to protect your hair’s health while achieving stunning results.
