Service purpose and scope
Highlights and lowlights placed together create contrast between lighter and darker strands so hair reads with more depth and movement. This service is chosen when you want a balanced, natural result and when a base retouch or base color is needed in addition to highlights or lowlights.
A typical appointment for this combined service runs 140 MINUTES and the price range is $185 - $325. Including both lighter and darker pieces means your stylist will plan placement to flatter your face shape and existing color, while also factoring time for a base retouch if required.
What happens during appointment
The session begins with a focused consultation to confirm which tones and placement suit your goals. Stylists listen for what you like and dislike, check root regrowth and hair history, and then map out sections for highlights and lowlights so the final color reads balanced and intentional.
During processing, stylists work methodically without rushing — customers value that attention to detail and flexibility. If you have long roots, heavy regrowth, or mobility needs, we accommodate scheduling and chair setup so the process remains comfortable and precise.
Maintenance and local factors
Bakersfield’s hot, dry summers and occasional dust or poor air quality can influence how color looks and how often you want refreshes. Sun exposure and environmental dryness can subtly change tone and shine, so expect to discuss at-home maintenance and professional refresh timing during your visit.
Our busiest months are Apr, May, Oct and Nov — plan ahead for event weeks or seasonal changes. Convenient access from Highway 99 and evening or weekend availability make scheduling easier for commuters, shift workers and parents who need appointments outside standard hours.
