How are partial highlights different from full highlights?

Partial highlights focus on specific sections, mainly the top and front, providing a more subtle, natural result compared to full highlights.

Will this service damage my hair?

When done by our trained professionals, partial highlights are safe and designed to minimize potential damage while adding beautiful color.

Do I need to wash my hair before the appointment?

It’s best to arrive with clean, dry hair. This helps the color adhere better and ensures optimal results.

How long do partial highlights last?

Typically, partial highlights can last between 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your hair type and maintenance routine.

Can I get a haircut with my highlights?

We recommend scheduling your haircut as a separate service following your color processing to ensure the best results.

What should I do after my highlights are done?

Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, limit heat styling, and consider regular treatments to maintain your beautiful highlights.

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 Partial Highlights.

How long will my Partial Highlights appointment typically take from start to finish?

Most Partial Highlights appointments take about 1.5 to 2 hours, including consultation, foil placement, and a 45-minute processing time. Remember this service does not include a haircut or blowdry — book those after processing if needed.

Can I get a haircut or blowdry included with Partial Highlights?

No — Partial Highlights do NOT include a haircut or blowdry. If you need a cut or style, please book that service separately AFTER your color processing finishes. Do not schedule a haircut during your color processing time.

Will toners or glazes be applied with my Partial Highlights service?

Yes — toners or a glaze are included to perfect your shade and neutralize brassiness. Your stylist will choose a tone that complements your skin and base color, improving blend and shine for a natural, finished result.

How often should I refresh my Partial Highlights for best results?

Refresh timing depends on contrast and hair growth, but most clients return every 8–12 weeks. Toner touch-ups can be scheduled sooner, around 4–6 weeks, to maintain tone between highlight appointments.

Are Partial Highlights suitable for all hair types and textures?

Partial Highlights work on most hair types and textures. Your stylist will assess factors like porosity, density, and previous color to customize placement and processing. Heavily textured or previously colored hair may require additional time or alternative techniques.

How should I prepare my hair before arriving for Partial Highlights?

Arrive with clean, dry hair free of heavy styling products for accurate color application. Bring reference photos and alert us to previous color treatments. Expect a 45-minute processing time; book any haircut or blowdry after your color service.
