Which service fits

Highlights are woven in foils from the root for brighter, more even dimension. Natural-looking highlights that grow out softly can mean fewer appointments. Tell Aprille how often you want to come in, and she'll plan around it.

Bleach and tone lightens the hair to an all-over blonde, followed by a customized gloss toner. After lightening, the toner neutralizes warmth so a cool blonde stays soft instead of brassy.

B3 bond builder helps protect your hair's strength while it lightens. It is included, so there is nothing extra to ask for.

What clients say about their highlights

"I’ve always liked a low maintenance natural look with my highlights, and she crushes it every time!"
— Elena
"The only stylist i trust and go to for highlights. My hair is very fine, thin, and damaged, and i’ve always had trouble liking the way my hair looks. BUT I always leave her chair feeling like my hair has a brand new life and 100x more like myself."
— Torrey H.
