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.

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.
