Published on: 2025-05-26

Back-to-school season is the perfect time for a glow-up—and nothing says “new year, new vibe” like a fresh set of teen-friendly highlights. Whether it’s subtle brightness or a trendy pop of color, highlights are a fun, low-maintenance way for teens to express themselves and feel confident heading into the school year.

At Venelle Salon & Spa in Park Slope, Brooklyn, our stylists specialize in age-appropriate, customized highlights that enhance natural beauty while keeping hair healthy and manageable.


Why Highlights Are Perfect for a Teen Glow-Up

🎨 Self-Expression: Highlights let teens show off their personality with color that feels unique—but still school-friendly.
🌟 Instant Confidence Boost: A great hair day can set the tone for the school year. Highlights add brightness and polish without a full makeover.
🧴 Low Commitment: Choose subtle techniques like balayage or babylights for a natural grow-out and easy upkeep.


Top Teen Highlight Trends for 2025

✨ Soft Balayage

A few sun-kissed pieces blended into the mid-lengths and ends—perfect for a natural, effortless look.

💫 Face-Framing Highlights

A few bright strands around the face can make a huge impact. This quick, budget-friendly option is popular with high schoolers and college freshmen alike.
