a few favorites
full highlight
Sections of hair all of your head will be covered with highlighted pieces. You may want to choose to receive a full highlight service if you want to add variation to your entire head. By placing the highlights all over the head you ensure consistency of the color. Full highlights also allow you the brightest look when receiving a highlight service. This hair color technique is also known as “foiling.” Your stylist lightens strands of hair from the root to the end. Then, they leave your natural hair color between the foils to create depth and dimension.Very small sections of hair are brushed with bleach, then wrapped with foil.
Partial highlight
A partial highlight traditionally includes all of the hair in the front of your head, and the top back area usually above the ears.The underneath sections of the hair do not get highlights when receiving a partial highlight. Some people choose a partial highlight because they like having the solid color pop through underneath because it can give the hair some depth. Especially if the hair is finer. Others choose a partial highlight because it is usually a less expensive and more cost effective option. A client who wears their hair half up may not like having this two tone look underneath.
babylight
Babylight's give a natural and sun kissed look.These are very finely weaved pieces of hair, sometimes also referred to as micro weaves.The tiny pieces enhance hair color without giving a stripped look. They’re more subtle than traditional highlights and will leave your hair with a lovely shimmer and glow. They also grow out a little nicer than traditional highlights giving you more time between appointments.
Teasylight
Similar to balayage, teasylights create a softly-blended highlight off the root, Rather than hand-painting, foils will be used and the hair will be softly backcombed or "teased" in small sections before applying the lightener, which will diffuse the blend between the lift and the base tone. Working in small sections and backcombing the hair allows for a more diffused and seamless application
Balayage
Though balayage is the name of a technique it has become common practice to describe a look with this term. Balayage, from the French term “to sweep,” is a highlighting technique that creates a seamless blend. The term refers to the way the color is applied, not the color itself. It is a technique where hair color is hand painted onto the hair to create a graduated, more natural-looking highlight effect. The look usually entails blonde hair color at the ends which also looks grown out at the roots.
Foiliage
A very similar technique to balayage, but all sections are wrapped or covered in foil for maximum lift.This foil technique is designed to help those with dark hair levels lighten to a shade in a way that looks sun-kissed and natural. Like the hybrid name, the foilyage process is achieved through a combination of balayage and foils, the foils serve to keep strands isolated, contained, and controlled during color alteration, offering the chosen color or highlighter more time to work its magic for a bold, dramatic result.
OMBRE
Ombre is a dramatic color effect where hair is split into two contrasting color sections and gradually blended from one hue to the other. Also with French origins, the word ombre means "to shade." Typically the darker shade is at the top and the lighter shade on bottom, but some prefer the opposite effect (this is called reverse ombre!). This gradation of color primarily affects the ends of hair, with the transition from the roots to light ends being pretty short.
balayage OMBRE
The beauty of the Balayage Ombre Technique is that is creates both a "closer to the root" highlight as well as bright, ombre'd ends in place of the traditional ombre, which focuses on a stark dark to light contrast. Basically, it makes it look like your guest has come in for several appointments, when in reality you transformed their hair in just ONE!
Color Melt
Color melting is a technique that is typically used to blend highlights or balayage into a client’s root color as the roots grow out. The end result is a natural, lived-in color without harsh lines of demarcation that might otherwise form naturally. Color melting is all about depositing tone to create a customized blend (no lightening involved) which is the key difference between this technique and blonding services

K-18 treatment
When hair gets damaged, the polypeptide chains (keratin chains) that make up the inner structure of hair strands become weakened and break. For context, there are billions and billions of polypeptide chains (keratin chains) in a single strand of hair. When these are damaged, hair’s core structure responsible for elasticity and strength becomes compromised and as a result it loses its resiliency and shine—or the look and feel of healthy hair.
After spending a decade in the lab scanning and testing all amino acid sequences across the entire keratin genome that makes up human hair searching for a breakthrough, K18 discovered one unique sequence (a bioactive peptide) that brings damaged hair back to its original, youthful state. This is our K18Peptide™.
Traveling deeper into the inner layers of hair than traditional repair products, K18's revolutionary peptide is just the right size and makeup to fit in and reconnect those broken polypeptide chains (keratin chains). And because our peptide is a bit of an overachiever, as a result of this reconnection, any disturbed disulfide bonds are also re-conformed.
K18Peptide™ employs biomimetics to get the job done. To put it simply: Biomimetics is the practice of learning from and mimicking nature. Mimicking the natural structure of keratin building blocks (amino acid sequences), K18's bioactive peptide is recognized as natural by the hair. It’s not washed away by water or shampoo like traditional bonding agents either, making K18 a genuine, lasting solution for damaged strands.
K18Peptide™ is a leave-in treatment mask for all hair types that clinically reverses damage in 4 minutes. The patented peptide technology works to repair damage from bleach, color, chemical services & heat – restoring strength, softness, smoothness, and bounce to hair.
Olaplex treatment
Our hair contains millions of disulfide bonds. These bonds give the hair its structure, strength and stability. When disulfide bonds are broken, it results in damage. OLAPLEX restores damaged and compromised hair by repairing from the inside out with our patented single ingredient, Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate. Once all the bonds are intact and in alignment, you have healthy, beautiful, shiny, touchable hair.
During every chemical service, disulfide bonds are broken and reformed to create a different color, texture, or curl pattern. OLAPLEX’s patented technology mitigates damage by seeking out and repairing broken disulfide bonds during the process. When used together, OLAPLEX’s two-part system allows salon professionals to push the limits of creativity while protecting the health & integrity of the hair.
