Delray Beach Hair Salon : Hair Highlights

Highlights involve lightening sections of your hair, which can weaken the strands if not done properly. That's why at Delray Beach Hair Salon, we use professional-grade lighteners with bond-building additives to protect your hair during the process. Our stylists are trained to lift with care, applying highlights in a way that maintains the health of your natural texture. We also recommend post-service treatments like glossing or deep conditioning to replenish moisture and seal in shine. With proper care and the right at-home products, your highlighted hair will stay healthy, soft, and vibrant.

Partial highlights typically focus on the top layer of your hair and the face-framing sections, giving you brightness without a full transformation. Full highlights, on the other hand, are applied throughout your entire head—top, sides, and underneath—creating a more comprehensive and dramatic effect. At Delray Beach Hair Salon, your stylist will help you decide which is best for your goals, budget, and maintenance preference. Both options can be tailored with custom tones and placement to flatter your features and blend beautifully with your base color.

Most highlights last 6–10 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows and the contrast between your natural color and the highlight tone. Lighter, high-contrast highlights may need touch-ups sooner to keep the blend seamless, while low-contrast highlights can grow out more subtly. At Delray Beach Hair Salon, we recommend booking a toner or gloss service between highlight appointments to refresh the tone and keep your hair looking bright and healthy. Your stylist will provide a personalized maintenance plan during your visit to help you keep your highlights looking fresh.

Absolutely! Highlights are a great way to add brightness and dimension without fully changing your base color. If you love your natural shade but want to enhance it, we can add soft, tonal highlights that catch the light without overpowering your existing color. Our stylists at Delray Beach Hair Salon work with your natural tone and desired contrast level to create a beautiful blend that looks elevated and effortless. Whether it's a subtle shift or a big boost, we'll tailor the service to your vision.

Before your highlight appointment, we recommend washing your hair one day prior but avoiding heavy styling products. Clean, dry hair allows for more accurate color placement. If you've had recent color or chemical services, be sure to let your stylist know during the consultation. After your appointment, protect your highlights with color-safe shampoo and conditioner, minimize heat styling when possible, and use weekly deep conditioning masks. At Delray Beach Hair Salon, we'll guide you through the best products and routines to help your highlights last longer and shine brighter.
