A little brightness. A lot of dimension.
Choose your level of brightness
A mini highlight targets a face frame or small area. A partial highlight places brightness through selected visible sections. A full highlight covers more of the hair. The right choice depends on what you want to see—not just which appointment name sounds familiar.
Make room for everything you need
If you’d also like root color or a haircut, choose a combination appointment in Square to reserve time for both services.
A plan before the lightener
Bring inspiration photos and share your recent color history. Previous artificial color, the condition of your hair, and your target brightness all affect what is realistic in one appointment. Ask Kim whether toner and finishing are included before you book. Toner is not included with a Mini Highlight.

Mini, partial, or full—which should I book?
A Mini Highlight uses 10 foils or fewer for a small area or face frame. Partial placement covers selected areas; full placement covers more of the head. Text Kim photos of your hair if you are unsure.
Do I need toner?
That depends on your starting color and the finish you want. Toner is not included with a Mini Highlight. Ask Kim what may work best for you and about any additional cost.
Highlights or balayage?
Both can add brightness and dimension. Highlights use selected sections or broader foil placement; balayage uses customized hand-painted placement. Choose around your starting point, desired look, and maintenance preferences.
