What the service includes
A partial highlight session focuses lightening on selected sections — typically around the face, crown, and part line — combined with a full haircut and professional blow-dry. The appointment begins with a consultation to confirm placement, shade, and maintenance expectations. This service balances added brightness with lower upkeep than full-head highlights and pairs color with a finishing cut.
Expect the service to take 75 MINUTES at our Pelham Road corridor location. Pricing is $75, covering the partial highlighting, haircut, and professional blow-dry. Because the process addresses only selected areas, timing is shorter than a full highlight visit. We recommend booking around peak months—May, Jun, Nov, and Dec—when demand for refreshed color and holiday styles is highest.
How we choose highlight placement
Placement decisions are made during the consultation and are guided by your natural base color, hair density, and daily routine. Stylists prioritize areas that create the most visible lift—face-framing pieces, the part, and top layers—so you get dimension where it matters. With partial work, the emphasis is on targeted visual impact rather than full-head coverage.
Trade-offs include quicker regrowth visibility in highlighted sections and a need to coordinate the haircut to help blend new color with natural roots. In Greenville's seasonal climate, summer sun and outdoor activities can affect how highlights appear, so timing and maintenance choices matter. We often schedule commuters before or after work and around lunch to fit local routines.
Aftercare and styling guidance
The blow-dry portion shapes how the highlights show day-to-day: a smooth blowout emphasizes brightness, while textured styling shows contrast and movement. Our stylists finish in ways that enhance the highlight placement for immediate wearability. Between visits, limiting daily washing and using a color-safe shampoo plus heat protection helps preserve tone and sheen without endorsing specific product brands.
Because only selected sections are lightened, maintenance is typically less frequent than full-head services; many clients refresh highlights seasonally or for events. Bring reference photos and describe daily styling habits at check-in so the stylist can tailor placement and the haircut. Arrive with clean, dry hair if possible, unless otherwise instructed when you schedule.
