"Mariana gave me such a natural ombre that it looks like my real color, not dyed. Even my colleagues could not figure out what had changed, they just kept saying I looked good."

What's included
Symmetrical brightness across the hair
Classic highlights are done with foils. The colorist sections the hair with technical precision and creates even, defined lines. The difference from balayage is that the result is sharper and more predictable.
Touch-ups every 6 to 8 weeks since root regrowth shows faster than with balayage, but the brighter, cleaner effect is what this technique is chosen for.
- Foil technique with precise, even lines
- Full, half, or quarter highlights, your choice
- Toning or gloss for added shine (optional)
- Quality lightener, scalp protection
- Classic or ultra-bright finish

"I tried balayage a bit nervous, I wanted a soft color. Nana did it so the result reads completely natural, no harsh roots, nothing to fix."

Aftercare
How to keep your highlights looking fresh
Four practical tips to extend the brightness of your highlights past 6 to 8 weeks.
01
Color-safe shampoo
A sulfate-free or for-highlighted-hair shampoo. Lightened tone fades quickly under sulfates and sun exposure.
02
UV spray
In summer a UV-filter spray is essential. Sun bleaches the foil lines and shifts the tone.
03
Weekly mask
Lightened hair loses moisture quickly. A weekly hydrating mask restores elasticity and shine.
04
Touch-up cadence
A salon visit every 6 to 8 weeks. Maintaining the foil-line symmetry keeps the brightness clean and intentional.
Frequently asked questions
Highlights FAQs
What is the difference between foil highlights and balayage?
Foil highlights are sectioned in foils for an even, structured lift with brighter contrast and more predictable lines. Balayage is hand-painted freehand for a softer, sun-kissed gradient with no clear line. Highlights need touch-ups every 6 to 8 weeks because root regrowth shows faster; balayage is more grow-out friendly at 12 to 16 weeks. Most clients new to color start with highlights for the cleaner result. See our balayage page if you prefer the softer look.
What is the difference between full, half, and partial highlights?
Partial (also called face-framing) targets selected strands around the face for soft brightness. Half covers the top half of the head, from root to ends. Full covers the entire head with even distribution. We choose together during the consultation based on your desired intensity and budget.
Does Ann Maison use Olaplex or bond-builders?
Yes. Foil highlights are more aggressive than balayage because the lightener processes under heat-trapping foils. We use bond-builders during every lightening service to protect the hair structure, especially on dark or previously colored hair. The full highlights package also includes a hydrating treatment after the rinse.
Will the colorist speak English?
Our master speaks Russian fluently and conversational English. Consultation, reference photos, and aftercare instructions are all comfortable in English. To confirm before booking, send a quick WhatsApp message and we will respond in English.
How much do highlights cost in Tbilisi and how often do I need to come back?
Our highlights packages start at 150 GEL for partial and reach 300 GEL for the full long-hair package with treatment. Touch-ups are typically every 6 to 8 weeks because foil highlights show root regrowth faster than balayage or ombre. For a tailored quote, send a recent photo of your hair on WhatsApp and we will reply with a precise estimate.
Can I get highlights after a keratin treatment or lamination?
Yes, but the optimal pause is 2 to 3 weeks after a keratin treatment or lamination. The hair needs to settle before lightening for the best result. We will check the condition of your hair during the consultation and recommend the right timing.
