How the technique works
Highlight & Lowlight pairs targeted lightening with selective deepening to create visible contrast and multi-dimensional color. Placement is decided by your natural base, hair density, and the look you want—from subtle face-framing brightness to bold, high-contrast streaks. The stylist balances lift and lowlight depth so the result reads as intentional dimension rather than uneven patchiness.
This specialty service includes a complementary repair treatment and a professional style at the end of your session, so you leave with finished hair. Appointments are planned to allow focused processing and styling; the session time is 120 MINUTES and pricing is listed as Starting at $165, which covers the combined service and included finish.
What shapes the result
Three practical factors shape the outcome: your existing color history, natural gray coverage, and hair texture. Stylists at Urban Hue assess previous color and growth to decide how much lift and depth are safe and visible. Local clients regularly praise accurate color matching and effective gray blending, outcomes this service aims to reproduce without promising a specific shade.
Season and lifestyle also matter. The service is busiest in Sep, Oct, Nov — ideal months for multi-tonal transition blends that combine summer blonde brightness with cozy autumn lowlight depth. Sioux Falls’s four-season climate and commuters’ schedules influence maintenance choices and the cadence of follow-up appointments.
Preparing and aftercare timing
Before your appointment bring clear photos of the look you want and a list of recent color services so your stylist can plan placement and processing. Urban Hue’s Marion Road location near Empire Mall and I-229 makes quick pre- or post-commute visits convenient; evening and weekend slots are available for busy families and professionals.
Aftercare starts the moment you leave: the complimentary repair treatment helps balance hair integrity directly after color, and your stylist will recommend products and a touch-up schedule based on the contrast level. How often you return depends on growth and how stark the contrast is; higher-contrast looks typically need more frequent maintenance.
