Highlights That Look Like They Grew That Way
Balayage, babylights, foil highlights, and everything in between — custom-placed for your face shape, skin tone, and how much upkeep you actually want.
Custom Color, Not Cookie-Cutter
Salon Amar in Bryn Mawr, PA offers highlights starting at $150 and balayage starting at $175. Located at 2 Town Place, Suite 105, the salon serves clients from Ardmore, Haverford, Villanova, and Wayne across the Main Line. Techniques include foil highlights, babylights, balayage, foilyage, and color-corrective blonding — all customized per client at consultation.
Every highlights appointment begins with a color consultation. Our colorists evaluate your existing tone, your inspiration photos, and how much maintenance you're realistically willing to do — then they make a recommendation. No one-size-fits-all formulas here.
Highlighting Techniques We Offer
-
Foil Highlights
Precise, controlled lift. Great for full, even coverage and consistent brightness from root to tip.
-
Balayage
Hand-painted color for a sun-kissed gradient effect. Grows out beautifully. 8–16 weeks between appointments.
-
Babylights
Ultra-fine highlights that mimic natural, multi-tonal hair. The most subtle option — dimension without obvious contrast.
-
Foilyage
A hybrid of balayage and foil — hand-painted placement with extra lift. More brightness than balayage, more natural than traditional foils.
-
Lowlights & Root Shadow
Depth added back for dimension, or a shadowed root for a more blended grow-out. Often paired with highlights for a 3D result.
-
Color Correction
Highlights gone wrong elsewhere? We assess the situation and build an honest plan to get your color back on track.
Highlights Pricing
Pricing depends on hair length, density, and the amount of product used. Your colorist confirms the price at consultation before any work begins.

You Asked, We Answered
-
At Salon Amar in Bryn Mawr — minutes from Ardmore — highlights start at $150 and balayage starts at $175. Final pricing depends on hair length, density, and technique. New clients are encouraged to book a consultation first.
-
Foil highlights use sections separated by foil for precise, even lift across the whole head. Balayage is hand-painted for a softer, more gradual color transition. Highlights are more uniform and brighter; balayage looks more natural and grows out with less visible contrast.
-
Balayage typically lasts 8–16 weeks before a touch-up. Traditional foil highlights need a refresh every 6–10 weeks. Platinum or high-lift blonde requires a touch-up every 4–6 weeks.
-
Any lightening process can affect hair integrity if not done properly. At Salon Amar we use bond-strengthening treatments during the process and assess your hair's condition before recommending any lightening work.
-
Usually yes — though it depends on what's currently in your hair. Box color, prior bleach, or recent chemical services need to be evaluated first. A consultation is always the right first step.
