Highlighting Options


Highlights: Specialized techniques are used to separate hair into even sections that are lightened from root to end. Tinfoil is used to wrap the color treated hair in order to keep it separate from the natural colored hair and prevents splotches of color appearing where it shouldn’t.

Lowlights: Using a similar technique as with highlights, lowlights is the use of a darker color spaced throughout the hair to add more dimension. This color treatment is most frequently used with hair that has been overly highlighted. In a case like this the natural color that once created a contrast has now mostly been lightened and that darker color needs to be recreated.

Babylights: Very thinly weaved, baby lights are miniature highlights. This technique is used to give a subtle shimmer to the hair, rather than a more bold color contrast. Often babylights are used in conjunction with another coloring option, like Balayage.

Balayage: Very fine highlights near the roots gradually become thicker through the mid and end sections of the hair. Tinfoil is not used when doing a Balayage. Instead the color is painted on. The result should create a warmer, sun-kissed look.

The options for coloring your hair don’t end here, but highlights are certainly a popular choice. This popularity stems from the beautiful results and varied looks that are possible with the different types of highlights and techniques. Furthermore, highlighting your hair offers certain benefits that cannot be attained when dying your hair a single color.

  • Fewer appointments to maintain root touch-ups.
  • More diverse and multidimensional look.
  • Highlights can achieve either a bold look or something more subtle and natural.

What to Expect at an Appointment for Highlights in New Milford


Our professional staff will warmly welcome you to our salons. Be assured that your experience will be both beneficial for your hair, and also a relaxing retreat for you. Our stylists use high end Paul Mitchell products for all our hair services.

After assessing the condition of your hair, the stylist will discuss with you the look that you are hoping to achieve. Our highly trained stylist will then prepare a highlighting formula that is best suited for both your hair and the desired color. Then, depending on the kind of highlights that you have chosen, the stylist will separate the hair that is to be colored from the base color, the product will be applied to the hair using a brush and wrapped in tinfoil (unless you’re doing balayage). The color will be left in the hair to process. During the processing, heat may be applied to the hair to improve the time it takes for the color to be achieved. Finally, your hair will be rinsed, trimmed and styled.

Maintenance for Your Highlights

Cutting Crew is the top family hair salon near you that offers affordable haircuts, styling, and coloring services for men, women, and children.

Color treated hair does require some extra care, both to protect and keep your hair healthy and for longer lasting color. Too much sun, chlorine and the wrong shampoos can leave your highlights looking brassy and dry out your hair. It may be worth your while to consider adding the following to your hair care routine.

  • Consider a deep conditioning hair treatment from Cutting Crew Hair Salon
  • Shampoos designed to protect colored hair
  • Protective hair masks used once a week
  • Regular trims to keep your ends healthy
