Frequently Asked Questions

What are hair highlights?
Highlights are sections of hair that are lightened to create contrast and dimension. They can be subtle and natural or bold and striking depending on your style.
How long do highlights last?
Highlights typically last 6–10 weeks depending on your hair type, how quickly your hair grows, and the contrast of the colour. We recommend regular maintenance for best results.
Can I get highlights if I’ve never coloured my hair before?
Yes – highlights are a great first step into hair colour. We’ll help you choose shades that complement your natural hair and give you a fresh new look without a harsh regrowth line.
Do I need a patch test before having highlights?
Yes – we require a patch test at least 48 hours before any technical colour service, including highlights. It’s quick, easy, and ensures your safety by checking for allergic reactions.
What’s the difference between highlights, balayage and foils?
Highlights are usually applied using foils for precision. Balayage is a freehand technique that gives a more blended, natural look. We’ll help you choose the best approach for your hair.
Do highlights damage your hair?
Our stylists use high-quality products and the most up-to-date techniques to minimise damage. We’ll also recommend aftercare and treatments to keep your hair healthy and glossy.
Can you do highlights on short or curly hair?
Yes – we tailor our highlighting techniques to all hair lengths and textures. If you have a specific look in mind, we’ll talk it through during your appointment.
Where is your salon located?
We’re based in Old Town, Eastbourne, and regularly welcome clients from Polegate, Pevensey, Hailsham and the surrounding areas for highlight and colour appointments.
