Highlights are strands of lighter colors in your hair and/or lowlights are strands of darker colors in your hair. These can be done in several different ways but the two main methods are done using foils to separate the hair being colored from the rest of the hair or using a plastic cap or bag to separate the hair. Both methods have their pros and con’s but what is the difference?

Cap Highlights

A cap highlight allows the colorist to watch the color as it lifts in your hair. Caps also allow you to apply color through the entire length of your hair, using the same strength developer, at one application.

Pros:
  • Can be cheaper
  • Quick
Cons: 
  • Only suitable for short hair as the process can put unnecessary stress on mid to longer hair.
  • Can be painful as a hook is used to pull strands of hair through the cap.
  • Only one color can be used. 
  • Not suitable for curly hair as it tangles while pulling through cap. 
  • Can’t get all the way to scalp when hair is very thick.
  • Hard to get Highlights near the nape of your head as well as close to your scalp. 
  • Hard to control Highlight placement to get them where you want.
  • Looks like zebra stripes if not done right. 
Cap highlights

Foil Highlights.

 A foil highlight allows you to target just the roots or ends of your hair. It also allows creative coloring without the colors overlapping each other.

Pros: 
  • Doesnt Hurt.
  • Can use more than one color. 
  • Can get closer to your scalp and hairline.
  • You get color exactly where you want it. 
  • Can create different sizes of light mor easily (either chunky or more natural weaves) 
  • Does not stress hair with pulling through tiny holes like the cap. 
  • Technique can be used with all kinds of hair. 
Cons:
  • Takes longer.
  • Can be more expensive.
  • If your stylist doesn’t know what they are doing, it can be a shock if not done right.

Cancellation/Salon Policy

Salon Policy

Please understand that when you forget or cancel your appointment without giving enough notice, I miss the opportunity to fill that appointment time, and clients on my waiting list miss the opportunity to receive services.

My appointments are confirmed 48 hours in advance because I know how easy it is to forget an appointment you booked months ago. Since the services are reserved for you personally, a Cancellation fee will apply.


– Less than 48 Hour notice will result in a charge equal to 50% of the reserved service amount.

– “NO CALL, NO SHOWS” will be charged 50% of the reserved service amount. (You are considered a No Call, No Show after 10 minutes of your scheduled appointment)

– Late Arrivals: My time is valuable, and so is yours. If you’re late for your appointment, you lose that time. If you don’t show, you’ll still be charged in full. In turn I promise to honor our appointments, and be on time as well.

– Appointments made within the 24 hour period and need to cancel:  The client then must cancel within 4 hours of appointment time or will result in a charge equal to 50% of the reserved service amount.

– Any multiple services or combos must be held with a credit card. Multiple services or combos not cancelled 48 hours in advance will be charged 100% of the reserved service amount. A credit card “HOLD” transaction may be made on your credit card to reserve the appointment time.

This cancellation policy allows me the time to inform my standby guests of any availability, as well as keeping my schedule filled, thus better serving everyone. These policies are presented and provided in the best quality and tradition of excellent servicing for my established and future clientele.

CONFIRMATION TEXTS

As a courtesy, you will get a text to confirm your service appointments two business day prior to your appointment date. However, it is your responsibility to remember your appointment dates and times to avoid late arrivals, missed appointments and the cancellation fee.

 

REFUND POLICY

 

– Services: There are NO refunds for any SERVICES performed. I stand behind my hair services, I will correct any challenges I have created with your color service within 7 days of the service. I can only guarantee my color services if the prescribed products are purchased. Your services are an investment in you, please protect your investment to the best of your ability.
