Highlights in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn
Foils are precision work: they lift more than painting and put brightness exactly where you live with it — the parting, the hairline, the pieces that frame your face
I place them for your head, your part, your cowlicks — not a diagram. That's the difference between highlights that grow out gracefully and highlights that grow out striped
How I work
Placement plan
We decide partial or full, and I map where the light should sit based on how you part and pin your hair on a normal day — not how it's styled for the chair
Foiling
Fine, consistent sections. Babylights where you want subtlety, bolder weaves where you want contrast. This is patient work and I don't rush it
Tone decides everything
Fresh foils are raw material; the toner turns them into your color. Beige, gold, cool — chosen against your skin in daylight, not under salon bulbs alone

Price at consultation
Exact quote depends on length, density, and your color history — I confirm it at consultation, before we start, so there are no surprises at the register
Questions I hear about highlights
Partial or full — how do I choose?
Partial brightens where it shows: the top, the parting, around the face. Full works through the underneath too, for when you wear hair up or want lightness everywhere. If you're unsure, I'll look at how you actually wear your hair and tell you which one you'd notice
How light can I go in one visit?
It depends on what's on your hair now — virgin hair lifts predictably, old color fights back. I'll tell you at consultation what one session gives you and what needs two. I don't push past what your hair can take
Why does my blonde turn brassy between visits?
Lightened hair drifts warm as toner fades and water does its work. A tone refresh between full appointments keeps it where you want it — quicker and kinder than re-lightening
