Highlights & Balayage

Change the tone. Keep it real.

Every colour stems from character, not from a standard palette. Whether it whispers or shouts, what we make has to tell something about yóu.

Highlights

Light, tone and contrast your way. Highlights are one of the most popular treatments, and for good reason. Whether you are going for sun-kissed subtlety or bright blonde, we will work together to find what suits your skin tone, your haircut and your style. Natural, playful or bold, it all starts with a good conversation.

Light accents that enhance your look. Whether you want subtle shades or prefer to stand out with bright blonde: highlights give your hair depth, movement and a fresh appearance. No standard formula, but a colour plan that suits your hair, style and wishes. Our colour specialists think along with you and ensure a natural or pronounced result, exactly as you want it.

Your light, your way.

From sun-kissed to standout, we place it where it matters.

Face Frame

Light around your face, a big difference. A face frame is the ultimate way to accentuate your face with a few well-placed highlights. Ideal if you love a fresh look without colouring your whole hair. From natural to striking blonde, you choose the vibe, we make sure it works.

Partial highlights

Subtle, highlights are placed only on the top and visible areas. For sunkissed hair. From fine to a bit more visible, everything is possible. For a soft or slightly more defined change. We choose the style that suits your hair type and personality.

All-over highlights

Do you want a fresh, radiant look and visibly more dimension in your hair? With all-over highlights, your entire hair is lightened subtly or strikingly for a gorgeous, even and natural result. Everything is tailored to your wishes.

Blonde isn’t a tone. It’s a decision
Balayage

Unique, because you are too. With a creative colour treatment, nothing is standard. We work with layers, transitions and colour techniques that add depth and suit who you are. Think of soft blends, unexpected accents or a complete transformation. Not trend-driven, but a colour that empowers you.

Colour that deviates from the ordinary, but still suits you. Sometimes you want something different. Something that stands out, or simply offers a refined refresh. With a creative colour treatment, we think beyond standard shades. Whether it's pastel, copper, cool tones or unexpected combinations, we look together at what enhances you, not what just happens to be in fashion. At Het Haartheater, colour isn't about following trends, but about showing character.

Balayage that doesn’t play it safe.

A Balayage story that actually says something.

Soft Balayage

Do you want to give your hair a natural, radiant boost without a full colour treatment? Or would you like, for example, to have a small section of the hair touched up after your previous balayage treatment? With a soft balayage, we lighten a small section of the hair, usually a few of your top layers and around the face, for a soft and sunkissed effect.

Partial Balayage

Would you like to give your hair a fresh, natural lift without a full colour treatment? With this balayage, we treat all the top layers of the hair and create a beautiful face frame. This technique is perfect for anyone who wants a slight change, lower maintenance, or wants to add subtle dimension to the hair.

All-over Balayage

Would you like a striking, sunkissed look for your whole head of hair? With our all-over balayage treatment, we lighten your entire hair length. From roots to tips. This creates a wonderfully even, light appearance with plenty of dimension and movement.

With an all-over balayage you can expect your hair to get a whole new look.
