Hair highlights in Dubai are one of the most-requested colour services we offer at 306 Spa — and the options available today are far beyond the traditional foil highlights of a decade ago. Here’s how to choose the right highlighting technique for your hair and lifestyle.
Foil Highlights vs. Balayage: What’s the Difference?
Foil highlights create precise, uniform lightening throughout the hair — ideal for a classic, polished look with high contrast. Balayage is a freehand technique that creates softer, more natural-looking dimension — better for a low-maintenance, sun-kissed effect. Both have their place, and the best choice depends on your natural hair colour, texture, and how much upkeep you want.
Can I Get Highlights on Coloured or Dark Hair?
Absolutely — but it requires the right approach. On dark or previously coloured hair, highlights need careful placement and sometimes a pre-lightening stage to avoid patchy or uneven results. At 306 Spa, our colourists always assess your hair’s starting point before recommending a highlighting technique.
How Long Do Hair Highlights Last in Dubai?
This depends on the technique used, your natural grow-out, and how much sun exposure your hair gets. Balayage typically lasts longer between appointments (10–14 weeks), while foil highlights may need refreshing every 6–8 weeks. We’ll always give you a realistic maintenance schedule so there are no surprises.
