Professional Highlights at
Our Luxury Hair Salon in Irvine
At Aveda Belle Isle, highlight services are fully customized to add brightness, depth, and dimension, while prioritizing hair health and a natural look. As a luxury Aveda salon in Irvine,
the team uses professional, plant-powered Aveda color to create modern, refined highlights, focusing on blend, tone, and longevity. Whether for subtle face-framing or a noticeable transformation, we specialize in dimensional color that complements the client's lifestyle
and grows out beautifully.
Full Highlights vs. Partial Highlights
Choosing between full and partial highlights depends on your
desired level of brightness and maintenance.
Partial highlights focus on the crown, hairline, and face-framing areas. This option is ideal for clients who want to brighten their look while keeping maintenance lower or refreshing existing highlights.
Full highlights are placed throughout the entire head and are best for clients seeking an overall lighter appearance or more dramatic contrast. Full highlights offer the most brightness and dimension but may require more frequent maintenance.
How Highlights Differ From Balayage
Highlights create structured brightness using foils for controlled lift and contrast, while balayage offers a more hand-painted, sun-kissed effect with softer regrowth. Our colorists help clients choose between highlights and balayage based on maintenance preferences, hair goals, and desired brightness.
Why Choose Us for Highlights in Orange County
Expert Colorists
Our stylists are experienced in creating dimensional highlights across a range of hair types and tones, with a focus on blend, balance, and longevity.
Refined Color Placement
Highlights are placed intentionally to enhance brightness while maintaining softness and natural movement throughout the hair.
Healthy, Polished Results
We prioritize hair health and tone refinement so highlights look luminous, wearable, and well-maintained between appointments.
Toner is a key step in achieving polished, professional highlights. After lightening, toner helps refine the final shade, neutralize unwanted
warmth, and enhance shine.
Regular toning appointments help maintain balance and prevent brassiness, keeping highlights looking fresh between full color services. Toner also supports overall hair condition, especially when paired with professional treatments.
