How the technique works
Partial highlight work at Diana Antes Studio uses minimum foils and strategic placement to add dimension where you want it most. Instead of saturating the whole head, highlights focus on face-framing sections, crown, or lengths to enhance movement. This preserves base color and reduces overall processing while producing a blended, natural-looking result clients describe as seamless and long-lasting.
The haircut is coordinated to support the placed color: length, layers, and edge work are chosen so highlights show in the most flattering positions when hair is worn down or pulled back. That coordinated approach makes daily styling simpler and helps the color look intentional as hair grows out, a common reason clients return seasonally or on a tailored schedule.
Choosing placement and color
Placement decisions start with a consultation about your lifestyle, skin tone, and how you typically wear your hair. Diana uses client photos and a listening-first approach to match shades that flatter your complexion and texture. Reviews note how she matches inspo photos precisely and creates blended highlights that work from every angle, which reflects a careful color-selection process rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
Partial highlights are inherently lower-maintenance than full foil jobs because less hair is lightened. Many Sunnyvale clients value this for seasonal reasons — May, Jun, and Jul are busiest as people prefer a lighter summer look — and for maintaining healthier hair between appointments. The trade-off is less overall contrast, so placement must be chosen to achieve visible dimension without over-processing.
What to expect at appointment

The color portion uses minimum foils targeted to chosen sections, followed by a customized haircut that complements the new highlights. Price: $450. Duration: 180 minutes. Clients report leaving with natural-looking dimension and a cut that makes daily styling easier and more flattering.
