Under $100
What to expect: mostly neighbourhood salons with one “from” price for a simple, one-tone set of highlights. Only 6 of the 22 salons in this range print a price for each hair length, so send a photo of your hair and the look you want before you book. A good fit for subtle, natural highlights on darker hair.

$100 to $170
What to expect: where most salons sit, 56 of the 97. Only 9 of them print a price by hair length, so if yours is past your shoulders, ask what the long-hair price is. Many salons here also offer partial highlights, a cheaper way to try the look first.
