Pre-Lightening for Balayage & Highlights
 
Considering balayage or highlights but have darker hair and want a lighter, more dramatic result? Pre-lightening might be the perfect add-on service for you! Pre-lightening is a process that lightens your natural hair color to create a brighter canvas for your desired highlights or balayage.
 
Why Consider Pre-Lightening?
 
Pre-lightening is especially recommended for those with:
 
Darker Hair: If you have dark brown, black, or previously colored hair, pre-lightening may be necessary to achieve the desired level of lightness and vibrancy for your highlights or balayage.
Bold & Contrasting Highlights: Craving a dramatic lightening effect or high-contrast highlights? Pre-lightening provides a lighter base for the contrasting colors to truly pop.
Dimensional Balayage: For a more dramatic lightening effect with your balayage, pre-lightening can help achieve lighter sections that beautifully blend into your darker base color.
 
The Pre-Lightening Process:
 
Consultation is Key: A thorough consultation is crucial before any lightening service. Our stylist will assess your hair color, desired outcome, and overall hair health to determine if pre-lightening is necessary and safe for your hair.
Gentle Lightening Techniques: We prioritize the health of your hair. Our stylists use high-quality lightening products and gentle application techniques to achieve the desired lightening level while minimizing damage.
Strand Test: To ensure the chosen lightening formula is compatible with your hair and won't cause excessive damage, a strand test will likely be performed on a small section of hair.
Tailored Lightening: The pre-lightening process will be tailored to your specific hair type and desired level of lightening.
 
Important Considerations:
Additional Charge: Pre-lightening is a separate service with an additional charge. During your consultation, we'll provide a transparent breakdown of the costs associated with both pre-lightening and your chosen highlighting or balayage technique.
Hair Health: While we use gentle techniques, pre-lightening is a lightening process and can affect hair health. Our stylists will assess your hair's condition and discuss proper aftercare to maintain healthy hair.
Realistic Expectations: We'll discuss realistic expectations regarding the level of lightening achievable based on your hair's starting color and condition.
