Fine strands lifted controllably in foils — highlights add dimension, shine and vibrancy. At KAiMAK Hair Studio placement is planned around your face shape.
Highlights are a classic colouring technique where selected fine strands are lifted in foils to add shine and dimension. The foil controls heat and lift, allowing crisper, brighter results.
At KAiMAK Hair Studio the density, thickness and placement of highlights are planned around your face shape and target look; fine, close strands give a natural result, thicker strands a bolder one.
Highlights can be full-head or just around the face (face frame, money piece); partial highlights need less maintenance. The lifted strands are brought to the desired tone with toning (ash, beige, warm, etc.).
Balayage/airtouch give a freer, more natural blend, while highlights offer a more controlled, classic shine. Which suits your goal is decided at a free analysis.
