Need your highlights doing in Manchester?

Hi! I’m Rebecca, a freelance hairdresser with 12 years’ experience doing bright, clean highlights in Manchester city centre. I offer full head, half head, and t-section highlights services and focus on creating the cleanest highlights possible so you keep that ‘just got my hair done’ feeling for longer than ever before and don’t have to worry about getting them redone as often.

I understand it’s not easy to understand the difference between different types of highlights, so as part of your in-depth consultation I’ll work with you to ensure you’re getting the exact right service for you. I mean, nobody wants to pay for a full head of highlights when the look they want could be achieved with a half head, and I’m not going to be the person doing that.

What I really care about is making sure you leave the salon with hair you love. So if you’re looking for a highlights appointment in Manchester, click the button below to book in today. And if you’ve got any questions before booking your full appointment, book a free, no obligation consultation or just DM me on Instagram.

The difference between different types of highlights

I offer three different types of highlighting service:

– Full head of highlights (price: £230 with haircut, £200 with express blow dry)

– Half head of highlights (price: £200 with haircut, £160 with express blow dry)

– T-section highlights (price: £160 with haircut, £130 with express blow dry)

There’s more information on each type on their individual pages, but a brief summary of the differences and who they might be right for is:

Full head

Cover your whole head: sides, crown, parting, top and underneath. If you want bright, blonde, multi tonal hair, a full head is best for you.

Half head

Don’t cover underneath and instead focus on the side, crown, parting and top. Great if you want the underneath to be your natural colour or your hair is on the shorter side.

T-section

T-section highlights mostly cover the parting with a couple of highlights on the side of your head. A t-section is great if you’re ready for a top-up before a holiday or big event but don’t need to do everything.

Rebecca has been doing my hair for a number of years now, and is an amazing hairdresser. She understands my thick wild hair and brings it under control at each visit. Nothing is too much trouble for her from changing my coloured hair to going "au natural", she really gave me the confidence to go ahead with the change.Rebecca is back doing my hair after I've had a recent operation and I'm so glad to be at the salon with her. Thank you my amazing hairdresser.

Rebecca is such a fantastic hairdresser in every way! She always does a great consultation where she really takes the time to listen to what you’d like, offers different options and uses her years of experience and expertise to help me make my all important hair decisions. Every service with her is so relaxing as she creates a great environment. The results are always 10/10 from the colour to the styling. A real hidden gem in Manchester if you’re looking for a new stylist 😊

Where do I start! Having been with Rebecca for years, she’s one of the few people I trust with my hair. Rebecca listens to every single thing that I ask for in my haircut, plus she gives her own recommendations as to what style would suit me best. She’s always so gentle when cutting hair, and her head massages are to die for!!! She’s always giving me tips on how to best maintain my hair and how to style it once it’s been cut. Not only does she do a great hair cut but her bouncy blow dries are amazing! I received so many comments on how much volume it had and it lasted me til the next day. If you’re looking for a hairdresser that’ll listen to you and give you a fantastic service, Rebecca is your girl.
