About Highlights
The right
blonde
for you.
Highlights are foils, placed in seamless sections from root to tip, which is what gives you that brighter, more even, more crafted blonde than balayage. How light you go and how much of it you have is up to you and your hair.
We do everything from a scattering of fine babylights that just lift your natural colour, to a full head of highlights that takes you to a high impact blonde. Every set is finished with a toner to get the shade exactly right, whether that's icy, beige, honey or something in between, and we'll tell you honestly what your hair can do in one appointment and what will take two. Highlights usually need doing every 3 to 4 months, with a toner in between to keep them fresh.
Blonde is what ELM in Wrexham is best known for. Jess is our blonde specialist, and Emma, who owns the salon, is a Wella Master Colour Expert, so going lighter is something we do every day rather than now and again. Every colour appointment starts with a free consultation, and if it's your first colour with us you'll need a quick skin test at least 48 hours before.
What to Expect
How It Works
Your bespoke consultation
Every beautiful colour begins with understanding your hair. We'll take time to assess the condition and colour history, explore the images you love, and discover how light you'd like to go and how often you'd prefer to visit.
From there, we'll create a colour plan tailored to you, with the price agreed before your appointment begins. If you're new to colour at ELM, we'll arrange a skin test at least 48 hours beforehand.
Your colour experience
Settle in while your stylist places each foil with precision, creating a beautifully considered colour that's yours alone. Once your colour has developed, we'll rinse and perfect the shade with a bespoke toner, before finishing with a luxurious blow-dry to reveal the result.
Please allow around four hours for a full head of foils. A half head or a parting and hairline refresh will take less time.
Keeping your colour beautiful
Your highlights deserve care as considered as the colour itself. Before you leave, we'll create a bespoke aftercare plan to help keep your blonde luminous and prevent unwanted warmth at home.
We'll also recommend when to return for a toner to refresh your shade, and plan your next full set of highlights.

What Our Clients Say
Marie was amazing loving my brows she got the colour just right. Pedicure really relaxing. Highly recommend
Best experience
I had such a lovely experience at ELM Hair & Beauty having my CAST hair extensions fitted by Emma.Emma knew I’d had a really disappointing experience previously with Viola extensions, so she had the added job of removing my old bonds before fitting the new hair. She was absolutely brilliant from start to finish and made the whole appointment feel relaxed and reassuring.The colour match is perfect — the extensions blend beautifully with my own hair — and I’m so pleased with the cut and finish. The difference in the quality of the hair is immediately noticeable too.The whole appointment was a great experience, and the aftercare advice has been brilliant as well. Emma really knows her stuff and I felt completely confident in her hands.I’m so pleased with the result and would definitely recommend ELM Hair & Beauty, especially if you’re considering CAST hair extensions.
Really pleased with the cut. Nice chat with Linda.
Highly recommend! Jess knows what she is doing. She is great hair stylist. Love my new hair 😍
My first visit to the salon. Emma was welcoming and offered a consultation prior to washing my hair. Emma listened to what I wanted and the end result was perfect. Having naturally curly hair she understood how to cut it and more importantly, how to dry it. I shall be returning and highly recommend 😊
Highlights FAQs
Good to Know
It depends on whether you have a full head, half head or just a few around your face, and on your hair length and how light you're going, so we don't put one price on it. Book a free consultation and we'll look at your hair and give you an exact price before anything is booked in. Jess is our blonde specialist, so ask for her if you'd like.
A full head is foils all over, underneath included, so you're blonde from every angle and it's the one for going noticeably lighter. A half head is foils through the top and sides only, where your hair parts and catches the light, so it's quicker, a bit less to maintain and a good way to keep highlights ticking over between full heads.
Usually every 3 to 4 months for a full set, with a toner or gloss in between to keep the shade fresh and stop it going brassy. If you'd rather be in less often, tell us at your consultation and we'll place the highlights and choose a toner so the regrowth is softer, or talk you through balayage instead.
Any lightening puts some stress on the hair, but done properly, with the right strength of lightener for your hair and enough time between appointments, it stays in good condition. We'll be honest at your consultation about how light your hair can safely go in one visit, and we'll usually add Wellaplex into your colour if you're going a lot lighter.
Sometimes, but often not, and we won't promise it until we've seen your hair. Previously coloured or very dark hair usually needs two or three visits to get to a clean blonde without wrecking it. We'll tell you straight at your consultation what's realistic in one go and plan the rest with you.
Yes, if you haven't had colour with us in the last six months. Highlights are finished with a toner, which is a colour, so the same rule applies: a tiny bit of colour on your skin at least 48 hours before your appointment. Pop in any time we're open or call us on 01978 263590 and we'll sort it.
