Your First Highlights: What You Need to Know for Summer

Feeling nervous about your first highlights is completely normal! Many first-timers feel a mix of excitement and anxiety, but at Deluxe Hair Salon, we make the process easy and enjoyable. With over 18 years of experience helping clients in Laguna Hills express their unique styles, we've got your back. Let’s walk through what you can expect, so you feel fully prepared.

Preparing for Your Highlights Appointment

Before you come in, it’s helpful to arrive with clean, dry hair. This ensures the highlights can take effectively. Think about the color you want, whether you're leaning towards subtle highlights or something bold. Our specialists are here to offer guidance on what will look best with your skin tone and hair type.

What to Expect During Your Highlighting Session

When you arrive, we'll start by discussing the colors you want and any specific concerns you have. Then we’ll apply the highlighting technique suited for your hair type, which usually takes a few hours. Throughout the process, we'll check in to make sure you're comfortable and happy with how things are going. Many first-time clients have remarked how pleasantly surprised they were by the ease of the process.

Aftercare and Longevity of Your Highlights

After your appointment, you might notice a slight change in texture until your hair adjusts. To keep your highlights looking vibrant, we recommend using sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Generally, highlighted hair will need a touch-up every 6-8 weeks, depending on your hair's growth and maintenance habits. Many clients find they receive compliments on their color long after their visit!

Our Insider Tips for a Great First Experience

If you want the best results, here’s a little tip: feel free to bring reference photos of styles you love! This helps us understand your vision better.
