What Are Babylights?

Babylights are very thin, subtle highlights that add a natural glow to your hair. This technique involves taking small sections of hair and coloring them slightly lighter than the base color to create a gentle, natural-looking effect. This meticulous application ensures seamless integration with your natural hair tones.

Babylights vs. Highlights

While both techniques aim to lighten the hair, babylights are much finer than traditional highlights. The key differences include:

  • Subtlety: Babylights are less noticeable, offering a sun-kissed touch compared to the bolder, more striking effect of standard highlights.
  • Technique: Babylights require a more precise hand to achieve their characteristic fine look.
  • Maintenance: Babylights generally require less frequent touch-ups than traditional highlights, making them ideal for those looking for a low-maintenance option.

Why People Choose Babylights

Natural Look: Babylights offer a soft, refined look that enhances your natural hair without the obvious appearance of coloring.

Minimal Maintenance: Due to their subtle nature, babylights grow out beautifully without noticeable roots, making them a low-maintenance option.


Versatility: Suitable for all hair types and colors, babylights add a touch of elegance to everyone's look.

Babylights for Every Hair Color

  • Babylights for Dark Hair: Enhance the richness and depth of dark shades without a dramatic change, perfect for adding movement and texture.
  • Babylights for Brown Hair: Introduce light reflections to brown hair that make your natural features stand out, adding warmth and vibrancy.
  • Babylights for Blonde Hair: For blondes, babylights offer a way to enrich the hair’s natural tones, adding sophisticated dimension and variety.

Shelby was my stylist and she was truly fantastic! I arrived with truly troubled hair that desperately needed a cut and color. Not only did she give me the best haircut and coloring I’ve ever received, but she truly saved the integrity of my hair. I could not be happier with how my hair looks and feels. Thank you so much for you expertise, Shelby! I would definitely recommend booking your hair appointment with this salon!

Highly recommend seeing Adrianna! From the start she really invests in figuring out the best plan/techniques for your hair inspo, and so far she’s done a great job with my hair throughout our sessions for color correction. She’s super super knowledgeable, genuine and talented in hair beyond coloring. She explains in detail about her recommendations while considering your ideas as well to get you to your hair goal. Our first consultation she took a lot of time and went out of her way to figure out a plan for my hair, and I am excited to continue working with her! :)
