Highlights are a timeless way to add brightness and dimension to your hair. By weaving lighter strands through your natural colour, highlights can create anything from a soft, natural shimmer to a bold, high-contrast effect.
At Sutherlands, our colour technicians use the latest techniques to ensure your highlights blend seamlessly and flatter your individual style. Highlights are also a great choice if you’re new to blonde shades, as they provide a gradual introduction without the commitment of an all-over blonde look.
Depending on the look you desire, we can offer a half-head of highlights for a subtle lift, or a full-head for a more dramatic colour. Our bespoke highlighting service is also popular, allowing us to add a scattering of highlights exactly where you want them, or a unique blend of shades for a truly bespoke look, or the money piece which involves adding colour around the face to create a ‘face frame’.
For a more customised blonde finish, our team specialises in bespoke highlights such as balayage.
Balayage is a bespoke colouring technique that delivers a natural, lived-in blonde effect. With darker roots blending into lighter ends, balayage is low-maintenance and grows out beautifully, making it a favourite for clients who love effortless style. Although blonde balayage is extremely popular, we can create any balayage effect using a blend of colours to suit you.
This highlighting technique can be tailored to your personal style so make sure you book a consultation so we can discuss the perfect hair colour and look for you.
Our Express Highlighting service is the perfect way to refresh your look quickly and affordably. Designed for clients who want beautiful colour without the time commitment of a full highlight, this treatment is ideal for maintaining your style between appointments or adding a subtle lift to your hair.
Express Highlights are quick, cost-effective, and expertly applied, giving you a fresh boost of brightness in just a short appointment. If you’re new to hair colouring, this allows you to experience professional highlights before committing to a full colour service.
Enhance your natural shade, go lighter, or simply keep your colour looking salon-fresh with our Express Highlighting service!
For clients who want to make a real statement, a full head of blonde is the ultimate choice. From icy platinum to buttery golden shades, going fully blonde can completely transform your look.
Our colour experts will carefully assess your starting hair colour and condition before creating your dream blonde. This may involve lightening your hair in stages to maintain its health and strength, but the results are always worth the journey.
We are also likely to recommend adding a professional toner and investing in the right aftercare products to keep your blonde looking vibrant, shiny, and fresh between salon visits.
While blonde is a popular choice, we also offer a wide range of other shades including classic brunettes, reds and creative colours.
Yes, but the journey depends on your current hair colour, condition, and the shade of blonde you’d like to achieve. Going from dark to blonde often requires multiple appointments to lighten your hair safely while maintaining its health. At Sutherlands, our colour technicians will create a personalised plan to achieve your blonde transformation.
The right blonde depends on your skin tone, eye colour, and personal style. Warmer blondes like honey or golden tones can complement warm skin tones, while cooler shades like ash or platinum suit cooler complexions. Our colourists will help you find the perfect blonde that enhances your natural features.
This varies depending on your starting colour and desired end result. A full head of highlights or a subtle balayage can be achieved in one session, while a full brunette to blonde transformation may take several appointments. We always prioritise the health of your hair during the process.
Any lightening service has the potential to cause dryness, but at Sutherlands we use professional techniques and high-quality products to protect your hair. We also recommend aftercare treatments and nourishing homecare products to keep your blonde hair strong and shiny.
Maintenance includes using salon-quality shampoos and conditioners designed for blonde hair, scheduling regular toning and glossing services, and having root touch-ups every 6–8 weeks depending on whether you’ve had highlights, all over colour or a bespoke balayage look. Do not worry – we will explain all at your appointment.
Using purple shampoo at home helps neutralise unwanted yellow or orange tones. Regular salon toners or glosses also refresh your blonde and keep it looking vibrant. We’ll recommend the right products and treatments to maintain your perfect shade.
