Highlighting is harsh on some hair types. I am one of those people. My hair does not hold color well. When you highlight, you strip the color away and then add color back. It could fade easliy and you could end up with lighter, brassy highlights which is not a good look.
Ask your stylist about panel coloring. They use two different colors in a pattern around your scalp so you have the depth of two different colors. This is really nice and cheaper than highlights becuase it is still considered a one step color.
Above all, go to a GOOD place. If you see someone on the street with great color, ask where they get their hair done and go there.
Where do you live OP? Do you need recommendations?
OP here. Sure I would love a recommendation. I like my current person for haircuts but she doesn't seem too inspired when it comes to color. I would prefer somewhere in the Arlington, Falls Church, McLean, Tysons area.
