Frequently Asked Questions

What types of highlights do you offer at Cruz Hairworks?
We offer classic highlights, baby lights, face-framing highlights, and multi-tonal blends. Each service is tailored to your desired look and hair type.
Do I need a patch test before having colour or highlights?
es. For your safety, we require a patch test at least 48 hours before any colour, highlights, toner, or chemical service—even if you’ve had colour elsewhere. This ensures there is no allergic reaction to the products we use.
Are highlights suitable for all hair colours and lengths?
Yes. Highlights can add dimension and brightness to blonde, brunette, and even darker hair shades. We customise the placement and tone for the most flattering result.
How long do highlights typically last?
Depending on your hair growth and maintenance routine, highlights generally last 8 to 12 weeks. We recommend a toner refresh between full appointments.
What’s the difference between highlights and balayage?
Highlights are applied using foils for a more structured result, while balayage is hand-painted for a softer, blended look. We can help you decide which best suits your style.
Will highlights damage my hair?
When applied professionally with quality products like L’Oréal and Joico, highlights can be safely maintained with minimal damage. We always assess the hair before treatment and recommend aftercare to support hair health.
Can I book a consultation before getting highlights?
Absolutely. We offer consultations to discuss your goals, assess your hair, and recommend the best highlighting technique for you.
