What Are Baby Lights?

Baby lights are ultra-fine highlights achieved by weaving micro-sections of hair into foil and processing them with lightener. Because the sections are so delicate, the color blends seamlessly with your natural base, creating luminous brightness without visible stripes or chunky contrast.

Our stylists use premium lighteners fortified with bond builders to protect your hair integrity while lifting. The result is fresh-from-vacation radiance that stays soft and wearable even as it grows out.

Your Baby Lights Appointment Includes:

  • In-Depth Consultation (15-20 mins): Explore inspiration photos, talk maintenance preferences, and select your ideal tone.
  • Custom Foil Mapping: Precision placement that accentuates your cut, parting, and facial features.
  • Premium Lightener & Toner: Professional formulas like Wella Blondor, Redken Shades EQ, and Olaplex bond protection.
  • Glossing & Root Melt Options: Add depth at the root and mirror-like shine through the mid-lengths and ends.
  • Signature Blowout & Styling: Finished with photo-ready waves or sleek shine to showcase your new color.
  • Aftercare Plan: Personalized recommendations for color-safe products and toning maintenance between visits.

Typical Appointment Time: 3 - 4.5 hours

Exact timing varies based on hair length, thickness, and starting level.

Baby Lights FAQ

How are baby lights different from traditional highlights?

Traditional highlights use larger weaves or slices, creating more noticeable contrast. Baby lights use ultra-fine sections and higher foil density, resulting in soft, natural brightness that looks like your color grew that way.

Will baby lights work on dark hair?

Yes! They are beautiful on brunettes who want to brighten without drastic contrast. We tailor processing time, toner selection, and placement to complement deeper bases while keeping the blend seamless.

How often should I book maintenance?

For half head baby lights, plan for 8-12 week touch-ups. Full head appointments can stretch to 10-14 weeks. Gloss and toner refreshes every 6-8 weeks keep your shade fresh between highlight sessions.

Can baby lights be done as a mobile service?

Absolutely. We bring our professional foiling setup, lighting, and products to your home within Waterloo Region. Mobile appointments require adequate workspace and electrical access; travel fees apply based on distance.
