Partial Highlights

Subtle Yet Stunning – Discover Partial Highlights

Not ready for a full transformation but still want to elevate your look? Our Partial Highlights service at Kara Unisex Salon is the perfect balance between natural and noticeable. Designed to add light, texture, and visual interest to specific sections of your hair, this service is ideal for face-framing highlights, crown lifting, or blending existing color for a refreshed finish. Whether you’re going for a sun-kissed glow, soft accents, or need a touch-up between full highlight sessions, partial highlighting is a versatile and lower-maintenance choice — all with expert technique and salon precision.

What Are Partial Highlights?

Partial highlights focus on only specific zones of your head — typically the crown, front hairline, or top layers. The goal is to add strategic brightness and contouring, often placed around the face or parted areas for maximum effect with minimal color.
