I LOVE the style studio and have been going here for the last few years consistently. My hair has never been healthier and Kiara has a wonderful demeanor. I usually come for a silk press, but exclusively see Kiara for my color and extensions - she’s simply the best!...more

Kiara is my GO-TO hair stylist! From the professionalism, to the creativity I know I can always count on her to get me photo shoot ready. Hair health as well as being able to work out are both priority for me, and she has really been able to help me maintain the integrity of both when I run out of ideas. She's also AMAZING with hair color and now that I think about it, I need to see what we can cook up next lol....more

Kiara has been working magic on my hair since 2019. The first time she gave me a cut and color was when she was still in DC. She talked me through what she thought would be the best style, color, and tone for my hair. Even though I gave her a very vague description of what I wanted, she achieved exactly what I had in mind. During the pandemic, Kiara opened her own studio in Alexandria and at that time I wasn’t able to see her. I went to two different hair dressers for cut/color and none of them were able to provide the look that Kiara gives me every time. Never again. Although I still live in DC, I make the trip to Alexandria every 6-8 weeks because I do not trust my hair with anyone else!! As a blonde, it can be hard to find a colorist who is able to achieve a non-brassy yet modern look and Kiara does just that. She has a natural talent for working with hair of all colors and textures. I have reccomended her to all of my friends because I want them to feel just as confident and beautiful as I do leaving her studio ❤️...more

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Highlight.

How long will my highlights last before needing a touch-up appointment?

Most highlights last six to twelve weeks depending on growth, contrast, and hair care. Toner or gloss services refresh tone sooner. Your stylist will recommend a personalized touch-up schedule based on placement, lifestyle, and desired brightness.

Will a highlight service include a haircut or blow dry?

No - this highlight service does not include a haircut or blow dry. Please book any haircut or blow dry as an additional service after your color processing time. Do not schedule a cut during processing; processing typically requires 45 minutes.

How long should I expect to be at the salon for highlights?

Plan on roughly 90 to 180 minutes for your visit, depending on highlight amount and technique. Application, processing (about 45 minutes), and finishing add time. Longer sessions are typical for full-head or multi-dimensional services.

Can highlights damage my hair or affect its health long-term?

When performed correctly, highlights need not severely damage hair. We use protective techniques, bond-building treatments, and customized lift levels to minimize stress. A consultation identifies hair condition and recommends strengthening protocols to preserve long-term health and shine.

What aftercare do highlights require to preserve color vibrancy and tone?

Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and conditioner, limit washing, apply heat protectant, and schedule regular toning or gloss treatments. Deep-conditioning masks and UV protection help maintain vibrancy and prevent premature fading between salon visits.

Are there restrictions before getting highlights, such as recent chemical treatments?

Disclose recent chemical services, hair history, and at-home color during booking. Very damaged or heavily treated hair may require a consultation or strand test. We'll assess porosity and recommend corrective or conditioning services before proceeding with highlights.
