What the service includes
Highlights at Retro Cuts begin with a required consultation and a deposit that goes toward your total. The service includes foil placement, a toner or gloss to refine the final tone, a deep conditioning mask to support hair health, and a professional blow-dry and style so you leave with the finished look.
During the consultation your stylist assesses your hair’s base color, previous chemical history, and the look you want. These factors shape foil placement and the choice between toner or gloss, which are used to adjust warmth, neutralize brassy tones, or add shine without changing the service’s basic components.
What to expect at appointment
Plan for a full service time of 155 minutes for a typical Highlights appointment. Your time in the chair includes consultation, foil application and processing, toner or gloss application, a conditioning mask, and a professional blow-dry and style. The deposit secures your booking and is applied to the final price.
Retro Cuts serves clients from Phoenix’s Thunderbird Corridor and nearby neighborhoods, with easy access from Loop 101 for after-work appointments. Weekend and early-morning slots are popular with families and outdoor enthusiasts; our location near Desert Ridge Marketplace makes last-minute scheduling convenient for shoppers or golfers in the area.
Keeping highlights fresh and healthy
The deep conditioning mask included in the service helps manage the condition of hair after lightening, and your stylist will recommend at-home care and follow-up appointments based on your hair’s response. Maintenance needs depend on your natural color, placement of highlights, and your styling routine rather than the service label alone.
Because Phoenix’s desert climate can influence hair moisture and styling choices, your stylist may discuss color-safe products and styling practices to protect tone and manage dryness. For clients planning outdoor activities like hikes or golf, timing your appointment around those plans can help preserve the look and finish.
