What are hair highlights?
Hair highlights are a lightening technique that adds dimension and luminosity by selectively lightening sections of hair. At Ana Gago Hairsalon we offer both classic highlights (using foil or meche) and free-hand techniques like balayage and babylight.
Classic highlights give a more defined, high-contrast result, while babylight creates ultra-fine highlights for a subtle, natural look. Balayage uses a freehand painting technique for a seamless, sun-kissed effect. We match the technique to your hair type, base colour and desired outcome.
We perform a full hair analysis before every service, assessing your chemical history, skin tone and the condition of the fibre, so we can guarantee a result that suits you and stands the test of time.

Frequently asked questions about hair highlights in Barcelona
How long does a highlights appointment take?
Classic or partial highlights take around 3 hours. A full balayage or babylight service takes approximately 3 hours 45 minutes. Reverse balayage takes around 2 hours 45 minutes.
What is the difference between highlights and babylight?
Classic highlights use foil for a defined, high-contrast result. Babylight uses ultra-fine sections for a softer, more natural look. Balayage is a freehand technique creating a natural graduated effect.
How often do I need to touch up my highlights?
Classic foil highlights need a touch-up every 6 to 10 weeks. Freehand techniques like balayage and babylight grow out more naturally, so maintenance is needed every 3 to 6 months.
Do highlights damage the hair?
With the Nashi Argan treatment protocols we use at the salon, damage is kept to a minimum. We always perform a full hair analysis before the service and adapt the technique accordingly.
Do you carry out a hair analysis before highlights?
Yes. Before every service we analyse your chemical history, base tone and fibre condition to choose the most suitable technique and ensure a long-lasting result.
