Best Hair Colouring Highlights near me in Saint Johns, Jacksonville

Yes, you can buy over-the-counter highlighting kits to color your hair at home. But, choose carefully: avoid products containing sulphates and silicone, and be aware that the shades shown on the packet may not be the tones you end up with. For best results, we suggest booking into a salon with a professional colorist.

Try choosing highlights that complement your eye color and complexion. If you have blue eyes and fair skin, for example, cool platinum is a good match; if you have a warm complexion with hazel, grey, or green eyes, caramel and honey blondes look great; and if you have olive or dark skin with dark brown or vivid green eyes, coffee brown highlights or coppery red can add real intensity. If in doubt, ask your colorist – their experience will be invaluable in helping you decide.

The lifespan of your highlights will vary according to the type of highlights you get, how well you take care of them, and your hair’s natural color. Treat them right and they’ll last 6-8 weeks.

Partial highlights focus on specific sections, usually the top and face-framing areas: for a subtle, low-maintenance result. Browse and book the best providers near you on Fresha.

Yes, but the degree of damage tends to be dictated by the product used and the level of color change to your hair. A subtle shift in color will cause less damage than a more radical color change.
