Highlight Techniques
Highlights and lowlights are like the sun and shade of your hair garden, adding contrast, depth, and texture. Here's how we sprinkle the sunshine and cast the shadows at Salon Haze:
Traditional Foil Highlighting
Your hair is meticulously sectioned, and each strand is colour-treated with precision, ensuring the hues sit exactly where they should.
Balayage
Embrace the art of freehand colouring as our experts sweep the colour gently along your hair, creating a natural, blended look.
Gradient Glam: Ombre and Sombre
Whether you fancy a dramatic dusk or a subtle sunrise, our ombre and sombre techniques seamlessly blend dark roots into light tips, mimicking a natural sun-kissed effect.
Gloss Over
Seeking a subtle tint or a colour enhancement? Our hair gloss treatment not only adds a tint but also closes the cuticle, resulting in stronger, shinier, and frizz-free hair.
Splashlights
Let's hit the spotlight with splashlights, creating a streak of colour that simulates a beam of light shining down on your hair, a look that's as unique as yours.
Babylights
Rekindle your youthful glow with babylights, a subtle colouring technique aiming to mimic the natural hair-lightening effect seen in children.
