Highlights Hair near me
Wecasa explains...
What are highlights ?
It is a popular hairstyle where a number of hair strands are dyed a lighter colour from the rest of the head. This gives more dimension to your hair and lifts the face adding an inner glow. Please note that a surcharge of £15.00 may be applied if you have long hair, depending on how much product is needed to apply.
How do I choose the perfect highlights ?
It’s best to discuss with your hairdresser in further detail the highlight colour you would like to get before your appointment date.
You can send photo examples of hair colours to help give your hairdresser a better idea of the desired result.
For matters concerning bleached hair, our professionals can advise you on the after-care of these kinds of intensive hair treatments.
Where and how is the highlights applied ?
You can choose to do this hairstyle wherever is most comfortable for you whether it’s the living room, bathroom etc. Make sure there is enough room for your chair and a table so the professional can set down their equipment. We do, however, recommend avoiding rooms with a carpet. Your professional will apply the colour, leave it on for the required processing time, then rinse away the leftover hair dye.
The price includes the service itself as well as a simple blow-dry.
Touch-up: highlighting is recommended every 2 months to maintain the colour.

The FAQ
What is the price of highlights with Wecasa?
The highlights service at a hair salon or at home is not always indicated at the same price.
And for good reason, it depends on several criteria: the length of your hair, if the locks are part of a package, the products used or if you choose the home or a hairdressing salon.
At Wecasa, the price of highlights starts from £90.90. This price also includes a shampoo which is obligatory to rinse out the colouring.
Doing highlights at home is ideal because you don't have to wait in the hair salon while waiting for the product to be applied.
We also advise you to opt for an additional treatment, the patina. This is a product that is placed on your hair for 15 minutes. It is used to neutralise any unwanted reflection of a colour. The patina brings a luminous finish to your hair and your colored locks!
How long do the highlights last?
The duration of the highlights can vary between each person.
Here are the criteria that can affect the life of your locks:
- your hair growth rate
- the shade of the highlights compared to your natural colour
- the care you give to your hair
- the quality of the colouring used
In general, as soon as you notice that the root effect appears or that your hair loses shine, it is time to redo your highlights.
On average, by doing your highlights with professionals, they are to be done every two months.
What are the differences between a balayage and highlights?
The difference between these two hairdressing services is based on the amount of material used on the hair, the choice of colour shade... And of course, the application!
To put it simply, the highlights are designed to bring contrast to the hair. They must therefore be clearly visible. The locks are wider than for a balayage.
The colour chosen to make your highlights can be darker or lighter than your hair.
Do not hesitate to ask your hairdresser at home for advice on choosing the ideal shade to bring light to your hair.
On the contrary, with a balayage, discretion is key. This colouring technique consists of placing very fine colored locks on the hair, one or even two shades lighter than the base colour.
How to maintain highlights?
As with a full colour or balayage, highlights require maintenance.
First of all, do not abuse shampoos. Everyday is too much! We advise you to shampoo 1 to 3 times a week maximum. Do not hesitate to choose a nourishing shampoo specially designed for your hair type or for coloured hair.
Then, pamper your hair every week with a nourishing mask.
Finally, on vacation by the sea or by the pool? Remember to protect your hair well with suitable protection products (oils, shea butter).
