Highlights & Babylights in Las Vegas
Dimensional foil highlights and fine babylights are the backbone of Paul Juma’s color work. Highlights in Las Vegas at Vegas Hair Color are $125 for a medium set or $150+ for a full head, with Olaplex added to the lightener at no extra charge.
Photos first, please: for any color service we ask for photos before booking, so we can give you a thorough consultation. Front and back photos work best, showing your hair in its natural texture (not brushed straight or curled with hot tools), plus a photo of the look you want if you have one. Upload them on our Contact page or simply text them to (702) 449-8429.

Highlights or Babylights?
- Dimensional highlights
- Defined sections of hair lightened in foil, for visible brightness and movement. Choose a medium set or a full head, depending on how much brightness you want; we’ll recommend one at your consultation.
- Babylights
- Very fine sections, woven close together, for a subtle, sun-kissed brightness. A natural choice if you want to look lighter without anyone spotting “highlights.”
Prefer a hand-painted, softer grow-out? Compare balayage and ombré. Going all the way blonde? See blonde hair color.
Highlights That Keep Your Hair Healthy
- Olaplex in every lightener. Bond Multiplier (No.1) protects the hair while it lifts, followed by Bond Perfector (No.2) when needed, at no extra charge.
- Ammonia-free whenever possible. We lighten with L’Oréal Professionnel Studio Blond, an ammonia-free lightener, and tone with Dia demi-permanent color.
- Blonde, built safely. If you want to go much lighter, Paul may take you there over more than one visit rather than risk breakage in one.
- Consistent results. Paul writes down your formula, so the next refresh matches the last.
Dimension Without Bleach: Highlights With Extensions
Want brighter pieces without lightening your own hair? Extensions in a lighter shade add dimension with no bleach or chemicals touching your hair, and they add volume at the same time. Paul places them strand by strand with microbead extensions, so each lighter piece sits exactly where a highlight would.
Why Highlights Turn Brassy in Las Vegas
Lightened hair is more porous, so it soaks up the calcium and magnesium in Las Vegas hard water. The mineral film dulls your toner and lets warm undertones show through. We remove it in the salon with a 3-step L’Oréal Metal Detox treatment or vegan Malibu crystals. Read more on why blonde turns brassy in Vegas.

Highlights & Babylights FAQ
How much do highlights cost in Las Vegas at Vegas Hair Color?
A medium set of highlights is $125 and a full head is $150+. Babylights are priced the same way, by how much of the head we place them through. Olaplex is included at no extra charge.
What is the difference between highlights and babylights?
Both are placed in foils. Classic highlights take a defined section of hair for visible, dimensional brightness. Babylights take very fine sections, placed close together, for a subtle, sun-kissed glow like a child’s naturally light hair.
Will highlights damage my hair?
We build protection into every highlight service at no extra charge: Olaplex Bond Multiplier (No.1) in the lightener, Bond Perfector (No.2) when needed, and ammonia-free lighteners whenever possible. If you want to go much lighter, we may take you there over more than one visit to keep your hair healthy.
Can I add highlights without bleaching my hair?
Yes, with extensions. Strands in a lighter shade add brightness and dimension with no chemicals touching your own hair. See the section on dimension without bleach above.
Why do my highlights turn brassy?
In Las Vegas, usually the water. Hard-water minerals build up on lightened hair and dull the toner, so the warm undertones show. We remove the residue with a Metal Detox treatment or vegan Malibu crystals, then re-tone.
