Highlights, Lowlights & Babylights Here at the Cutting Garden, we offer a multi-dimensional highlighting service, using a range of techniques that include: Highlights: Highlights are small sections of hair that have been dyed in a colour that’s lighter than your base shade. Whether you’re looking for a subtle look or a dramatic result, you can achieve it with this technique. No matter your hair colour, you can add dimension and movement to your locks with some highlights! Lowlights: Lowlights are slices of hair that have been tinted to add depth to the base colour. This is typically achieved by using a colour that’s 2-3 shades darker than your base shade. This technique involves weaving the lowlights strategically through the hair, which can make hair look thicker and fuller.

When you book a bridal hair appointment at the Cutting Garden, we start things off with a hair trial. This allows you to show your stylist the kind of look you’d like to achieve and gives them the opportunity to get to know your hair. They’ll be able to assess the condition, the texture, the length and how well it responds to heat styling, which can help to inform your styling choices. If you’ve got your heart set on soft and romantic ringlets but your hair struggles to hold a curl, it’s definitely better to find this out weeks before the wedding, rather than on the day! A hair trial will allow your stylist to try out a few different bridal hair styles, so you can see what your perfect look is. We offer a huge range of hair up services for brides, including traditional chignons, boho braids and glamorous curls. On the big day, you and your bridal party can either come to our Plymouth hair salon or your stylist can come to you.

Balayage is a hair colouring technique that involves hand-painting colour onto strands of hair to create a natural, graduated effect. Like contouring for your hair, balayage adds multi-tonal dimension by placing darker and lighter colours to act as highlights. The perfect way to create a subtle effect that’s ‘your hair but better’, balayage hair has taken the industry by storm in recent years. With celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen, Jessica Biel and Jennifer Lopez also embracing the trend, you’re every bit as likely to see balayage on the red carpet, catwalk or silver screen as you are on the high street! This low maintenance, high impact look is the ideal choice for anyone seeking a new look that brings their hair to life.

The term ‘ombre’ (pronounced omb-ray) comes from the French word for shade and is used to describe a gradual lightening or darkening of colour. Ombre hair is typically darker from the roots to mid-shaft and then gradually transitions to a lighter shade from the mid-shaft to the ends. This look can be achieved either using your natural hair colour or a similar base shade. Ombre comes in a number of forms, including: Sombre, Shatush, Flamboyage and Reverse Ombre.
