Why Teens Choose Highlights
Highlights add brightness and dimension without changing the whole hair color. For teens, that means a fresh, sun-kissed look for summer, a style change before a new school year, or extra texture that makes a short cut or curly top stand out. Because only selected strands are lightened, highlights are lower-commitment than full color.
Popular Highlight Styles for Teens
- Subtle face-framing highlights – a few lighter pieces around the front for a natural glow.
- Sun-kissed tips – lightened ends that look like natural summer brightness.
- Textured top highlights – color on the top only, paired with a skin fade or taper on the sides.
- Highlights on curls – adds dimension to natural curls or a teen perm.
- Bolder contrast – for older teens who want a stronger look, such as platinum or ash tones on top.
Our Highlights Process
- Consultation – we look at the natural shade, hair health and the look your teen wants. For minors, a parent or guardian should be present and agree to the service.
- Strand test when needed – to check how the hair lifts and to avoid surprises.
- Placement – foils or freehand techniques, placed so the color blends as it grows.
- Toning – to remove brassiness and get a clean, natural finish.
- Cut and style – we finish with a cut that shows off the color.
Keeping Teen Highlights Looking Good
- Use a color-safe shampoo and wash with cool water.
- Use a purple shampoo once a week for blonde or ash tones.
- Protect hair from chlorine: wet it and use a leave-in conditioner before swimming.
- Book a refresh every 6–10 weeks, or let soft highlights grow out naturally.
Teen Highlights vs Boys Highlights
For younger children we keep color very subtle and low-maintenance; see our boys hair highlights page for details. Teens can usually choose more noticeable styles. Want full coverage instead of highlights? Try our hair and beard dye service, or read about our hair highlights in Dallas for adults.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are highlights safe for teenagers?
When done by a professional with careful product choice and timing, highlights are a common service for teens. We check scalp and hair condition first and will suggest a gentler option if the hair is not ready.
Will highlights pass school dress codes?
Natural shades and subtle placement usually do. Check your school’s policy; we are happy to keep the result soft and natural.
Can my teen get highlights and a perm?
Yes, but usually not on the same day. We are a Dallas barbershop for perms & highlights and will plan the order and timing to protect the hair.
