Highlights in Oxford

If you’re thinking about getting your hair highlighted and you’re based in Oxfordshire, Wisteria Avenue can help. Highlights are a hair colour and salon mainstay as the most popular hair colour services across all ages. Highlights can offer dimension, contract, sophistication, elegance, edginess, boldness and just about everything in-between! The subject of hair colour can feel overwhelming, not to mention finding the right hair salon in Oxford can prove challenging to know what to look for, who can help and what you should be paying. Finding the right salon is so much more; for stunning results and a consultative and welcoming salon approach, it’s worth doing some research first. So whether you’re looking for your first ever hair colour, you’re new to highlights or you are looking for a new salon, our Stylists are here to guide, offer support and assist with your next hair colour.

If you are considering something different, our hairlighting service page or all over colour service page can help. Finally, if you’re new to the salon and not sure how to get the most value from your next appointment, need a consultation or would value a conversation before booking, call or send a WhatsApp message on 01235 534705.

Highlights in Oxford FAQ’s

Getting highlights in Oxford – What are the options?

Oxford and the surrounding areas has a number of leading hair salons from independents to chains, yet knowing where to book and what to spend isn’t easy. Establishing which salon can help you is the first important step. Many salons offer traditional highlighting methods, though they may lack more modern techniques and the consultative approach to take your hair to the next level. At Wisteria Avenue, we offer an in-depth consultation to work through your likes and dislikes, what you hope to achieve, what might be deliverable, your anticipated frequency of appointment, lifestyle, health of hair, daily hair routine, budget, if there are better alternatives, our recommendations and everything in-between! So whether it’s full head highlights, half head highlights, face-framing highlights, babylights, Air Touch highlights, highlights and lowlights, balayages, or something else the consultation will identify the best route.

The challenge with highlights is striking a balance between what you hope to achieve, your choice of colour, health of hair, frequency of appointment and critically what may suit your hair and your style. Achieving the perfect balance specifically for that you seek isn’t necessarily achieved by any and every salon and specific salons or even Stylists may specialise in one area above any other. It is for this reason, we dedicate time for a detailed consultation before booking to ensure the service is right for you, the nuances of highlights and whether there are better alternatives which haven’t yet been considered. The consultation is designed to support your decision making, to take the time to understand your hair goals, assess your current hair condition, and talk through the most suitable techniques and tones for your needs.

Why choose Wisteria Avenue for highlights?

Wisteria Avenue is based in Oxfordshire and we pride ourselves on offering one of the most thorough, detailed and holistic salon colour consultations in the area and critically with no obligation to booking. Our consultations are known for their personal, honest, and bespoke approach and we take into account multiple factors to offer the best option for you.

Clients visit us for our transparency, willingness to support and an experience that feels relaxed and bespoke to you. Before booking an appointment we dedicate the time to understand you, your personality, your lifestyle/work, your hair history, what might work for you all whilst ensuring that you’re fully cognisant as to the process, the desired end result and what you can expect from ongoing maintenance away from the salon.

As a salon, we pride ourselves on valuing not only the end result but the journey, our communication and the overall salon experience. We’ll also avoid sugarcoating how your highlights may look in the future, how highlights will grow out and how you can maximise your hair colour.

Why are our highlights different?

One of the most common themes that clients tell us is how much they value our consultative approach, value our input and are able to deliver against the brief. Whether you are looking for dimension, contrast, subtlety and something striking, visiting Wisteria Avenue will offer you a point of difference to your typical salon experience. Depending upon the approach needed, we can tailor the techniques and approaches to highlighting hair in-order to achieve a desired result.

We also most commonly work with clients that are unsure of what can be achieved or what may be compatible with their hair type, hair goals and intended frequency of appointment. For example we can guide you best on your choices of colour based upon your existing hair colour, skin colour, eye colour and fashion sense. Our colour consultations are detailed and honest working through the pros and cons of different tones and how they’re likely to wear in your day-to-day life.

Finding the right highlights for you

No two highlight services are exactly the same nor should they be viewed as such. Whether it’s highlights and lowlights, back-to-back highlights, subtle highlights, a smattering of highlights or the money-piece, clients often request different things dependent upon the level of desired impact. We too understand that the idea of committing to regular colour appointments isn’t for everyone, and as such we can support that with honest advise designed to serve you to meet your needs, availability and budget.

Our team is experienced in working with all hair textures and lengths. If you’ve never coloured your hair before, we’ll guide you gently through the process, explaining what to expect both during the appointment and afterwards. If you’ve had highlights in the past and want to return to them, we can work with your current colour and tailor a plan to bring back dimension and life to your hair.

Conclusion

If you’re thinking about where you can get your highlights done in Oxford, Wisteria Avenue offers a great option for a consultative approach to attaining the best highlights. Whether you’re new to the world of hair colour or highlights, you know exactly what you want or you need a change but aren’t sure what, our approach is designed to support your decision making process.
