Hair Highlights in Dubai: Prices, Techniques and How to Choose
How much do hair highlights cost in Dubai, which technique suits you, and how to keep blonde healthy. The guide from March14's L'Oréal Professionnel and Kérastase Hair Studio, from AED 800.
Highlights are the most requested colour service in Dubai, and the one that goes wrong most often in the heat, the sun and the hard water. This guide comes from the March14 Hair Studio, the official L'Oréal Professionnel and Kérastase Hair Studio created by celebrity artist Ruby Barreau and led by celebrity hair master Essa Makhoul, blonde specialists who colour for celebrity clients, fashion shows and editorial shoots.
How much do hair highlights cost in Dubai?
At March14, balayage and highlights start from AED 800. The final price depends on your hair length and density, your starting colour, your colour history and whether toner or root colour is needed. That is why every highlights project is quoted at a consultation in the Hair Studio, after we assess your hair condition and what is achievable in one session. Prices can change, so please check our online menu for the latest price.
Which highlights technique is right for you?
- Foil highlights: the most precise lift, for bright blonde, platinum and ash results, and for dark hair that needs strong lift.
- Babylights: very fine sections at the hairline and parting for a soft, natural brightness.
- Balayage: colour placed by hand on the surface of the hair for a sun kissed result that grows out softly, done by colourists trained in Paris at the highest level.
- Face framing highlights: brightness concentrated around the face for maximum effect with minimum colour.
- Root shadow and toner: a deeper root and a tailored toner so the blonde grows out without a hard line and stays the shade you chose.
Your technique is chosen for your face, your base colour and your lifestyle, often combining two of these in one service. See our blonde highlights in Dubai and hair colour and balayage services.
Terra Caramel: highlights for dark hair
Terra Caramel is the March14 signature balayage that brings light to dark hair. Caramel and honey tones are placed to warm the face and catch the light, without the brassy orange that dark hair can turn when it is lifted too fast. It is one of the most requested services in our Hair Studio, drawn from the fashion trends we work with backstage.
How we keep blonde healthy in Dubai
Blonde breaks when it is lifted too fast, too far, in one go. Every lift at March14 is planned for your hair, in stages when needed, with L'Oréal Professionnel protection in the colour and Kérastase care throughout. In our Kérastase Hair Lab, treatments are blended on the spot for your hair condition. Strong colour, ammonia free colour and toners are all available, so the formula matches your hair, not the other way round.
How to make your highlights last in the Dubai sun
Use a purple or blue toning care once a week if your blonde is cool. Protect your hair from the sun and from chlorine with a leave in heat and UV protector. Book a toner refresh between colour appointments to keep the shade clean. A professional Kérastase treatment keeps the lengths strong between lightening sessions.

Hair highlights in Dubai: your questions
How much are hair highlights in Dubai?
At March14, balayage and highlights start from AED 800. Your exact price is confirmed at a consultation, depending on length, density and colour history. Please check our online menu for the latest price.
Can I get blonde highlights on dark hair?
Yes. Our Terra Caramel balayage is designed for dark hair, and brighter blonde on dark hair is lifted in stages to keep the hair healthy.
How long does a highlights appointment take?
It depends on your hair and the technique. Your colourist confirms the timing at your consultation.
Will my blonde turn yellow or orange?
Every blonde is finished with a tailored toner to control yellow and orange tones, and we show you how to keep it clean at home.
Balayage or highlights: which should I choose?
Balayage gives a soft, sun kissed result that grows out gently, while foil highlights give a brighter, more defined blonde. Many clients combine both.
