FAQs
-
Highlights use foils to create consistent, bright strands of color throughout the hair. Balayage is a freehand painting technique that creates a softer, more blended result with a natural grow-out. Both are beautiful — your stylist will recommend the best technique based on your hair type, your goals, and the look you want.

Highlights at Legacy Hair by Kaur start at $212. Pricing varies based on the technique, the amount of hair being lightened, your stylist's experience level, and the time required. Your stylist will confirm your exact investment during your consultation. We also offer academy pricing for guests who'd like to work with our stylists in training.

Lived-in blonde is a modern color technique designed to look effortless and natural — as if you've spent the summer at the beach. The color is concentrated around the face and ends with a softer, more gradual transition at the root. The result grows out beautifully and requires less frequent maintenance than traditional highlights.
-
It depends on the technique and how much contrast you want. Balayage and lived-in blonde can go 10–14 weeks between appointments. Traditional highlights are typically refreshed every 6–8 weeks. Your stylist will build a maintenance plan that fits your schedule and your budget.
