Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about dimensional color at Trixie’s

What's the difference between balayage and traditional highlights?

Balayage is a freehand painting technique that creates soft, natural-looking highlights with no harsh lines. Traditional highlights use foils for a more uniform, structured look. Balayage grows out more naturally, requiring less maintenance – perfect for busy Brookfield and Ridgefield professionals. The result is a sun-kissed, lived-in look that doesn’t show obvious regrowth lines.  Traditional highlights are woven and create a consistent brightness, which will leave a more uniform look. These highlights are placed closer to the scalp. Lightness starts from the root and throughout. Balayage grows out more naturally, requiring less maintenance. It is painted on and blended away from the root.

Balayage is a service that typically lasts up to 6 months.  Refresh with a gloss treatment in about 3 months.  A full balayage service is suggested about twice a year.

Air lighting highlights are created by lifting hair with an air technique to achieve soft, diffused brightness. A hairdryer is used to push shorter hairs away. The product is applied to the longer hairs that remain, resulting in a more natural, blended look. This is best for a supernatural, sun-kissed finish with a soft grow-out. Air lighting highlights are a high-skill technical art that requires a deep understanding of customization and placement.

Yes. With darker hair, a balayage technique is possible. How dark the hair is at the beginning of the service will determine the end result.  

Dimensional color starts at $125.

Arrive with clean, dry hair – Free of silicone products. Be prepared for a 2–3-hour session. Wear comfortable clothing, and no hooded sweatshirts. Bring inspirational photos and be prepared to discuss your hair history.
