Your First Highlight and Haircut: What to Know Before You Go

Feeling nervous about your first highlight and haircut is perfectly normal! Rest assured, you'll have a thorough consultation with your stylist, and this is a great opportunity to share your concerns and desired look. One of our long-time clients notes, "Erica has an uncanny ability to not only deliver what you ask for, but also what you didn't even know you needed. Her artistry and intuition are unmatched." Her warmth immediately puts you at ease.

Preparing for Your First Highlight and Haircut

Before your appointment, consider how you want to look. Communicate any specific hair concerns or preferences you have about color or cut. We generally recommend arriving with clean, dry hair and maybe even a few photos that inspire your desired look. Plus, think about which shades might complement your skin tone, as Erica loves to incorporate trending seasonal colors that reflect our vibrant Upper Kirby atmosphere!

What to Expect During Your Appointment

When you arrive, we'll start with a comprehensive consultation where your stylist will listen to your needs and suggest options. This is the perfect time to ask questions. Then, we'll proceed with applying the highlights, typically using foils or balayage techniques for dimension. An experienced stylist like Erica ensures every strand is perfect! During the process, we prioritize your comfort; expect to relax, chat, and even enjoy a drink. After coloring, we’ll wash and cut your hair, tailoring a style that suits you beautifully. Don't be surprised if you leave feeling like a million bucks, many first-time clients share that they didn't realize how much they needed this fresh look!

Every time I come see Erica, I leave feeling like a million bucks! Just go get your hair done with her!

Aftercare for Your New Highlights

After your session, it's crucial to maintain your beautiful highlights. You'll likely experience a bit of sensitivity initially, which is perfectly normal! We usually recommend using sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to avoid stripping color. Additionally, it’s advisable to schedule your next appointment about every six to eight weeks for touch-ups to keep your highlights fresh. One of our clients even said, "I could not be happier with my haircut! Erica understood what I was hoping for and made it happen!" When you take care of your new color, you’ll notice it stays vibrant longer, making those compliments last!
