How often do highlights need to be touched up?

Traditional foil highlights typically need refreshing every 6–8 weeks. Partial highlights or babylights can often go 8–10 weeks. Michelle will create a schedule based on your specific technique and how quickly your hair grows.

Can highlights damage my hair?

When done professionally with quality products, highlights are safe for most hair types. Michelle always performs a strand test if there's any concern and uses bond-building treatments to maintain hair integrity during the lightening process.

What's the difference between full and partial highlights?

Full highlights cover the entire head for an all-over dimensional effect. Partial highlights focus on the top layer, crown, and face-framing sections — they cost less, take less time, and are great for a subtle lift.
