Prices marked “from” are starting points, and highlights vary with how much foiling your hair needs. We confirm your exact price before we begin.
Partial or full highlights?
Partial highlights brighten a smaller part of the head, usually the top layers and the pieces that frame your face. They are a good starting point if you want a lift without changing everything.
Full highlights run through the whole head for more even, all-over dimension, which is why they take longer and cost more.
Hair coloring changes your shade all over, from a natural-looking refresh to a vivid statement color. Not sure which one fits? Tell us what you have in mind when you book, or message Erez on WhatsApp.

Color after work, not instead of it
Highlights can take a few hours, which is hard to fit into a normal workday. Our appointments run noon to 5 AM the next day, every day, so you can book an evening or late-night slot. It is by appointment only: call, WhatsApp, or request online with at least 1 hour’s notice, and Erez confirms every booking. Learn more about late-night appointments, or ask about in-home visits if you would rather stay home.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between partial and full highlights?
Partial highlights lighten a smaller section of hair, usually the top layers and the pieces around your face. Full highlights spread through the whole head for more overall brightness. Partial highlights are $150 – $200 and take about 1.5 hrs; full highlights are $250 – $450 and take about 3 hrs.
Why is the highlights price a range?
The amount of foiling needed varies a lot from client to client, so highlights are priced as a range instead of a single number. We always confirm your exact price with you before we begin.
How long does a color appointment take?
Plan for about 1.5 hrs for hair coloring, starting from $100. Longer or thicker hair, or a bigger change in shade, can add time, and we will give you a realistic estimate when you book.
Should I choose highlights or balayage?
Highlights are placed in foil and give a more defined, even pattern. Balayage is painted freehand for a softer gradient that grows out more gently. If you are not sure which suits your hair, ask when you book and we will help you decide.
Can I get highlights or color late at night?
Yes. Appointments run noon to 5 AM the next day, every day, by appointment only. Call, WhatsApp, or request online. At least 1 hour’s notice is required, and Erez confirms every booking.
