Highlights and Toner in Lisbon
This comprehensive colour service combines selective highlighting with a toner and base colour treatment to create multi-dimensional, lived-in colour effects. Ideal for those seeking more than a single-process colour, it adds depth, brightness, and dimension in one expertly crafted appointment.
Highlights and toner combine foiled sections, a base colour when you need one, and a toner that pulls the pieces into one blend. It is the service for dimension that is clearer than a freehand balayage: baby lights, wider pieces, or a mix. Colourists certified in L'Oréal and Wella do the work in Campo de Ourique. Allow 3 to 4 hours. The service starts at €95.
It suits you if you want light through the hair and a controlled root, or a base colour plus brightness in one visit. Partial highlights cover the face and the top. A fuller head of foils lights more of the hair and needs a more regular root. We decide the pattern in the consultation, from your photos and from how the hair grows.
Regrowth on foils shows sooner than balayage. Most clients return every 8 to 12 weeks. Between visits, a colour-safe, sulphate-free shampoo and a gloss when the tone warms will keep it even. If low maintenance matters more than a crisp line, we will talk about balayage instead.
Price depends on how much hair is foiled and whether a base colour is included. Book by phone or WhatsApp and mention your length. The salon is at Rua Correia Teles, 55A, Tuesday to Friday 09:00–18:00 and Saturday 09:00–16:00.
We start by agreeing the pattern: fine baby lights around the face, a partial application through the top, or a fuller head of foils. Each section is wrapped so the lightener works evenly, which is the difference you see next to a freehand balayage. When the lift is right we rinse, apply the toner, and add a base colour in the same visit only if we planned it. Then we wash and blow-dry. The 3 to 4 hours is normal; a full head with a base colour sits at the long end. You will see a root sooner than with balayage, so we talk about an 8 to 12 week return before you leave, not after the regrowth has already bothered you. Between those visits a gloss is enough when the tone goes warm. Price starts at €95 and moves with how much hair is foiled. Photos of the placement you want are more useful than a single shade name.
Ask for baby lights when you want the brightness close to the face and a softer root. Ask for a fuller foil when you want the hair lighter overall and you can return inside three months. Balayage remains the lower-maintenance cousin, from €140, if the foil schedule is the part you already know you will skip.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Highlights/Toner + Hair Colour include?
This service combines selective highlighting with a toner and full colour treatment to create multi-dimensional colour effects — ideal for sun-kissed blends, lived-in looks, or full colour transformations with depth.
How long does it take?
This is a longer appointment — allow 3–4 hours depending on the techniques and hair volume involved.
Is this service right for me?
This service is ideal if you want more than one colour effect — for example, highlights combined with a base colour and toner to blend everything together seamlessly.
How often do I need to return?
Maintenance intervals depend on the technique. Highlights with colour typically need a touch-up every 8–12 weeks. We'll advise a schedule at your appointment.
What is the difference between baby lights and full highlights?
Baby lights are fine, close sections, usually around the face and the top, for a soft result. A fuller foil pattern lights more of the head and shows a clearer regrowth line. We choose the density in the consultation.
How much do highlights and toner cost?
The service starts at €95. A partial application costs less than a full head with a base colour. We confirm the price before we begin.
