Natural-Looking Highlights in Oakville

Matthew Jonathan Salon is well-known throughout Oakville, Burlington and the GTA for producing the most natural-looking highlights in the region. Our philosophy is simple — highlights should enhance your natural beauty, not overpower it. Every set of highlights we create is designed to complement your skin tone, eye colour and natural base for a result that looks genuinely sun-kissed, not artificial.

Our Approach to Highlights

At Matthew Jonathan, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to highlighting. Every client has a unique hair type, natural colour and lifestyle — and your highlights should reflect that. Our senior colourists take the time during your consultation to understand exactly what you’re looking for, from subtle face-framing brightness to full, all-over luminosity.

We use a combination of foiling techniques, placement strategies and toning to ensure your highlights are dimensional, multi-tonal and grow out beautifully over time.

We Recommend Olaplex with Every Highlight Service

At Matthew Jonathan Salon, we strongly recommend adding Olaplex — a professional hair bond protector — to most highlighting services. Here’s why:

The lightening process used in highlights works by breaking down the hair’s natural bonds. Olaplex works by seeking out and rebuilding those broken bonds from within the hair strand, dramatically reducing breakage and damage during the colouring process.

The result? Highlights that look brighter, feel healthier, and last longer — with noticeably stronger, softer hair after your appointment.

Types of Highlights We Offer

• Full highlights — all-over brightness and dimension
• Partial highlights — targeted brightness around the face and crown
• Face-framing highlights — a subtle brightening effect around the hairline
• Foilayage — a combination of foil and balayage technique
• Toning — refreshing and neutralising your existing highlights

 

Highlights FAQs

How long do highlights take? A full highlight service typically takes 2–3 hours. Partial highlights are usually 1.5–2 hours.

How often should I get highlights? Most clients refresh their highlights every 8–12 weeks, though this varies depending on how quickly your hair grows and how much contrast you prefer at the root.

Can I get highlights on dark hair? Yes — we regularly create beautiful, natural-looking highlights on dark hair. For very dark bases or previously colour-treated hair, we’ll discuss a staged approach to protect your hair’s health.
