Get answers to common questions about Halo Highlights.

Most Halo Highlights appointments take about 45 to 60 minutes at Salt Hair Studio, depending on hair thickness and desired brightness. Your stylist will assess and deliver a quick, customized refresh; book a consultation if you have color history or special concerns.

When performed by experienced stylists and with protective additives, Halo Highlights minimize damage. We use gentle lightening formulas, bond-builders, and deep-conditioning treatments to preserve hair integrity. A consultation evaluates previous color and recommends a tailored plan to protect your hair.

Refresh frequency varies, but most clients return every six to ten weeks to maintain brightness and blend regrowth. Because Halo Highlights focus on the top and hairline, you’ll often enjoy longer wear; your stylist will recommend a personalized timeline during your visit.

Yes — Halo Highlights can be adapted for chemically treated or curly hair with careful technique. We assess porosity and previous services, choose gentle lifts and protective treatments, and modify placement so highlights enhance texture without compromising hair health.

Halo Highlights and balayage are different. Halo focuses on brightening the hairline and crown for subtle, quick refreshes, while balayage is an all-over, hand-painted technique creating more dimensional, low-maintenance grow-out. Your stylist will suggest the best method for your goals.

Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and conditioner, occasional purple toning for blondes, and weekly deep-conditioning masks. Always apply heat protectant when styling. Our stylists can recommend salon-grade products tailored to your Halo Highlights to extend color and maintain shine.
