Getting highlights that look natural and effortlessly beautiful is an art—and at Venelle Salon & Spa in Park Slope, Brooklyn, we know it’s about way more than just choosing the right color. If you’ve ever left a salon with highlights that looked too harsh or artificial, you’re not alone.

So, what’s the secret behind truly natural-looking highlights? Here’s what our expert colorists want you to know.

🎨 It’s About the Technique

The way highlights are applied makes a huge difference. Techniques like balayage, babylights, or foiling can create very different results:

• Balayage: Hand-painted highlights that blend seamlessly with your natural hair for a sun-kissed, lived-in look

• Babylights: Ultra-fine, delicate highlights that mimic the subtle lightening of hair naturally exposed to sun

• Foil Highlights: More precise and defined, great for customized placement and dimension

The choice depends on your hair type, lifestyle, and the level of maintenance you want.

✂️ It’s About the Placement

Strategic placement is key to natural dimension. Highlights around the face (often called the “money piece”) can brighten your complexion and add softness, while scattered highlights throughout add depth and movement.

Our stylists carefully customize placement to enhance your features and hair texture—not just lighten randomly.

🧴 It’s About the Blend

Blending highlights with your base color is what keeps the look natural. Too much contrast can appear harsh and unnatural. We use toners, glosses, and root smudging techniques to ensure your highlights flow effortlessly into your natural hair color.

💆‍♀️ It’s About Hair Health

Healthy hair reflects color better. We prioritize treatments, deep conditioning, and using bond-protecting color systems to keep your hair strong, shiny, and soft. When your hair is healthy, highlights look luminous rather than brassy or dry.
