If you want lighter, brighter, more dimensional hair, highlights are the perfect choice. They can lift your colour, add softness around your face, or create an all-over brightness that feels fresh and flattering.
At Steve Hilliard, we tailor highlights and lowlights to your skin tone, haircut and lifestyle.
Whether you prefer a soft, natural glow or clean, bright lift, we’ll create a colour that complements you beautifully and grows out softly.
Prices from £55 – £123 depending on the service and skill and experience of your colourist.
Modern highlight services focus on softness, glow and tailored placement. Some of the most popular options at our Luton and Ampthill salons include:
Fine, delicate weaves that mimic how the sun would naturally lighten your hair.
Brighter pieces around the face to lift your complexion and make your haircut pop.
Ultra-soft lightening right at the hairline for a bright, clean finish.
A hybrid of highlights and balayage – perfect if you want the brightness of foils with a softer, blended result at the root.
Tone-on-tone shades that add depth and richness without looking stripy or overdone.
Our colourists stay up to date with the latest trends and techniques so your highlights look modern, seamless and flattering from the moment you leave the salon.
Beautiful highlights require precision, creativity and an understanding of how light works with your haircut and complexion. Our colour specialists train continuously to ensure your foils are clean, your blends are seamless, and your colour lasts.

Highlights are created by pre-lightening sections of your hair using foils. This allows us to lift your natural colour several levels lighter.
After rinsing, we apply a toner to perfect the shade – whether you prefer creamy blonde, cool ice, soft caramel or something warmer
Highlights lighten the hair for brightness and lift.
Lowlights add darker tones to create depth, richness and dimension.
Many clients have a mix of both for a balanced, natural-looking blend – especially for blondes who want more texture or brunettes wanting subtle movement.
It depends on the look you want. Highlights add lighter pieces to brighten and lift, while lowlights add darker tones for depth and richness. Many clients choose a combination for a beautifully natural, multi-tonal result.
Highlights involve lightening, which results in a visible line when they grow out, but we can tailor them to your routine depending on your commitment to the upkeep. Traditional highlights may need refreshing every 6-8 weeks. For a softer, lower-maintenance look, balayage highlights or a rooted blend can last a little bit longer.
Of course. Stripy highlights have made a bit of a comeback recently, but for most people modern highlights all about fine weaves, seamless blending, and thoughtful placement. Your colourist will always avoid chunky or harsh lines.
Highlights (in foils) lift the hair lighter and create cleaner, brighter sections.
Balayage is softer and more diffused.
Balayage highlights (foilayage) combine both for the perfect blend of brightness and softness.
Almost always. The toner perfects the shade, neutralises brassiness and adds shine. It’s essential for creating the exact colour you’re imagining.
