Highlights - Full Head
A Full Head Highlights service offers a transformative hair coloring experience, creating dimension and depth through the strategic application of highlights and lowlights. This technique involves coloring strands of hair with lighter and darker shades to enhance your natural hair color or achieve an entirely new look. The result is a vibrant, multi-tonal appearance that can add life and movement to your hair. It's important to note that this service focuses solely on coloring and does not include a haircut. If you're looking for a complete makeover, consider adding a cut & blow-dry service to refine your style and ensure a polished finish.
In addition we recomend a Toner Application as an add-on to this service to achieve most optimal and vibrant result. This combination will leave you with a refreshed and cohesive look that complements your new color beautifully.
Skin Test, Colour Consultation
When considering a new hairstyle or hair color, it's essential to prioritize safety and satisfaction. For those looking to color their hair, a skin test is a crucial step that must be taken at least 48 hours before your appointment. This test helps ensure that you do not have an allergic reaction to the hair dye, as sensitivities can vary based on the specific products used by different color houses. The patch of color should remain on your skin for the specified time, generally between 24 to 48 hours, to accurately assess any adverse reactions.
Additionally, a hair consultation provides a valuable opportunity to discuss your hair goals with a stylist. During this consultation, you can explore various styling options and receive expert advice tailored to your hair type and lifestyle. Both the skin test and consultation are integral parts of the process to ensure you achieve the desired look safely and effectively.
Full Head Colour
A full head of color is a popular salon service where a uniform shade is applied throughout the entire head of hair, from the roots to the tips. This technique is often used to cover grey hairs, enhance natural color, or introduce a new hue altogether. It is commonly referred to as "single-process hair color" because it involves a single application of color, making it a straightforward and efficient choice for many clients. Within this category, there are three types of hair color formulations: semi-permanent, which gently alters color and adds shine; demi-permanent, which lasts longer and can subtly change tone; and permanent, which provides the most durable coverage and can lighten natural hair by several levels. This service offers a versatile solution for those looking to refresh their look or maintain a consistent color.
Peekaboo Hair Colour
Peekaboo hair is a playful and trendy way to add a pop of color to your hairstyle, capturing attention with its vibrant yet subtle charm. Unlike traditional highlights, peekaboo hair involves coloring the underneath layers of your hair, allowing you to reveal or conceal the color as desired. This versatile style can be tailored to suit anyone, regardless of age, making it a popular choice for those looking to express their creativity without committing to a full head of color. Whether you opt for bold, vivid shades or softer pastels, peekaboo hair offers a fun way to refresh your look, adding an element of surprise and personal flair. Whether you're framing your face with bright hues or letting hints of color peek through, this style is a fantastic way to experiment with your hair and make a statement.
Highlights - Half Head
The "Highlights - Half Head" service is perfect for those looking to add dimension and depth to their hair with highlights or lowlights. This service covers only part of the head, allowing for a more subtle, natural-looking enhancement. It's an excellent choice for those who want to refresh their look without a full head commitment. Please note that this service does not include cut or styling, so you may want to consider adding a cut or blow-dry service to complete your look. Our skilled stylists use some of the best professional products to ensure your hair looks vibrant and healthy. In addition we recomend a Toner Application as an add-on to this service to achieve most optimal result. This combination will leave you with a refreshed and cohesive look that complements your new color beautifully.
Balayage
Balayage highlights offer a subtle and sophisticated way to enhance your hair's natural beauty. By gently lightening strands a few shades above your base color, balayage creates a sun-kissed effect that adds depth and dimension to your locks. This technique is particularly popular for its low-maintenance appeal, as it grows out gracefully without leaving harsh lines or roots, allowing for longer intervals between salon visits. To keep your balayage looking fresh, it's important to use color-safe shampoos and conditioners, as well as heat protectants if styling with hot tools. While the balayage service itself focuses solely on coloring, you may consider pairing it with a professional cut and blow-dry service to fully refresh your look and enjoy a salon-finished style.
Air Touch Colour Service
The Air Touch technique is a modern approach to hair coloring that has gained popularity for its ability to create a natural, seamless blend of colors. Developed by renowned colorist Vladimir Sarbashev, this method offers an innovative alternative to traditional teasing or backcombing techniques. By taking a section of hair and applying tension to the longest lengths, the colorist uses a blow dryer to gently push the shorter hairs and internal layers away. This process allows for a more precise application of color, resulting in a soft and smooth transition between shades. The Air Touch technique is particularly favored for its gentle approach, minimizing damage while achieving a sophisticated, multi-dimensional look.
Toner Application
Toner application is a crucial step in achieving the perfect hair color, as it allows for the customization and refinement of your hair's hue. Unlike permanent dyes, toners are typically demi-permanent or semi-permanent, which means they contain little to no ammonia and are less damaging to the hair. This makes them ideal for adjusting the tone of your existing color without altering the base shade. Hairdressers use toners to add warmth or coolness to the color, effectively correcting any unwanted shades that may have appeared after the initial dyeing process. Additionally, toners can be used to introduce a vibrant pop of fashion color, offering a subtle yet noticeable change. The versatility of toners enables hair professionals to create a polished and personalized look that enhances the natural beauty of your hair. At Luminous, we particularly recommend this service as an add-on to highlights services to achieve optimal result.
Roots Touch-Up
A roots touch-up is a popular hair maintenance technique used to seamlessly integrate the natural regrowth of hair with previously colored sections. Typically performed every few weeks, this process involves a hairstylist applying a matching hair dye to the roots, ensuring a cohesive and polished look. This service is essential for those who have colored their hair and wish to maintain a consistent color throughout, without the stark contrast of natural roots showing. It not only refreshes the overall appearance but also extends the life of the hair color, allowing individuals to enjoy a vibrant, well-maintained style without the need for a full color application every time.
Face Frame Colour Service
The face frame colour service is designed to accentuate your facial features by strategically placing lighter tones around the perimeter of your face. This technique, often referred to as 'supermodel highlights,' adds dimension and brightness, enhancing your natural beauty. Suitable for all hair colours, from dark blondes to rich reds and glossy brunettes, face framing highlights can complement any face shape, bringing attention to your eyes and cheekbones. The process involves applying colour from the midsection of your hair around the face down to the ends, creating a seamless blend that adds depth and contrast. Whether you're looking for a subtle change or a bold transformation, face frame colours offer a versatile styling option that can be customized to suit your individual style and preferences.
Colour Correction
Hair colour correction is a delicate an intricate process that requires the expertise of professional stylists to achieve optimal results. This technique is particularly useful for individuals who have experienced an unsatisfactory dye job or wish to transition to a new hair colour while eliminating any unflattering tones.
At Luminous, the correction process begins with an assessment of the current hair condition, including its colour history and health to determine the best approach. Stylists then strategically apply a new colour, often using a combination of techniques such as toning, lightening, or darkening, to neutralize unwanted hues and achieve the desired shade.
The objective is not only to correct the colour but also to maintain the health and integrity of your hair. This may involve multiple sessions to ensure the hair remains healthy and vibrant. The end result is a harmonious and flattering hair colour that enhances the individual's appearance, boosting both confidence and style.
Olaplex N1 & N2 Treatment
An Olaplex treatment is a fantastic way to rejuvenate and repair damaged hair. When your hair undergoes chemical treatments, heat styling, or even frequent brushing, the disulfide bonds that give your hair its strength can break. This can lead to hair that looks dull and feels weak. Olaplex works by reconnecting these broken bonds, helping to restore your hair's health, shine, and resilience.
The innovative two-part Olaplex Professional System, comprising No.1 Bond Multiplier and No.2 Bond Perfector, features the highest concentration of patented Olaplex Bond Building Technology.
Olaplex No.1 Bond Multiplier includes a single active ingredient, Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate, which serves as an additive to minimize damage during chemical treatments. The Olaplex process works by identifying individual sulfur hydrogen bonds and reconnecting them to create disulfide bonds before, during, and after services. Disulfide bonds can be compromised through chemical, thermal, and mechanical processes.
Olaplex No.2 Bond Perfector is the second step in the in-salon Olaplex system. It acts as a bond multiplier rather than a conditioning treatment, playing a crucial role in repairing any bonds that may have been weakened during chemical processes.
Olaplex stands out as the only product of its kind, with eight worldwide patents set to be published soon. Additionally, it is free from silicone, sulfates, phthalates, DEA, and aldehydes, and it is never tested on animals.

At Luminous we will ensure that the extensions are removed smoothly and painlessly, minimizing the risk of breakage or hair loss. Regular removal and maintenance appointments are essential for keeping your natural hair healthy and allowing your scalp to breathe. It's important to follow up with proper aftercare, such as deep conditioning treatments, to restore moisture and strength to your hair after the extensions have been taken out.
Hair Extensions Refitting
During a refit or replacement maintenance appointment, each hair extension is meticulously removed one at a time to ensure no damage to your natural hair. Following the removal, your hair is carefully re-sectioned to prepare for the refitting process. A new ring is used to securely attach the extensions back in place, ensuring a fresh and stable hold. This method not only revitalizes the look of your extensions but also offers the flexibility to enhance your style by adding new hair if desired. Many clients opt to purchase 1-2 new bundles of fresh hair during this appointment to maintain volume and vibrancy in their look.
