Surface Highlights in Princeton & West Windsor Township, NJ

Surface highlights place foils through the top layers of hair for a lighter, more subtle contrast, without the time or cost of a full head of foils. It's a popular choice for clients who want dimension that reads naturally in daily light rather than a dramatic change.

Booked on its own, with a blow dry added, or paired with a Women's Haircut — tell Dawn which you'd like when scheduling, since the appointment length changes with each option.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a Full Highlight?

Surface highlights only foil the top, visible layers; a Full Highlight foils throughout the whole head for maximum, even lightness.

Can I add blow dry or a haircut to the same visit?

Yes, both are available as add-ons to the surface highlight appointment — just mention it when booking.
