Summer’s Calling—Is Your Hair Ready?

As the days get longer and the sun gets stronger, your hair deserves a seasonal glow-up to match. One of the easiest, most flattering ways to elevate your summer style? Sunkissed balayage and highlights. Whether you’re lounging poolside or heading to weekend festivals, these low-maintenance, sun-kissed styles will give you that radiant, effortless look that screams “summer.”

At Kate’s Kuts in Bonita Springs, we’re all about helping you glow from the inside out—and your hair should be no exception.

What’s the Difference Between Balayage & Highlights?

Knowing which lightening technique is right for you starts with understanding their differences:

Balayage

  • A French word meaning “to sweep,” balayage is hand-painted for a soft, natural look.

  • Perfect for subtle lightening and a grow-out that’s seamless.

  • Great for all hair types and textures.

Traditional Highlights

  • Foil-based lightening applied closer to the roots for more contrast.

  • Ideal if you want to go brighter or love a more structured color effect.

  • Requires more frequent touch-ups.

💡Pro Tip: Balayage is a dream for anyone who wants a sunlit look without being tied to salon visits every 6 weeks.

Why Balayage and Highlights Shine in Summer

  • Natural sun-kissed effect: Looks like you’ve just returned from vacation.

  • Low-maintenance: Especially important with summer travel and busy schedules.

  • Customizable tones: Whether you’re cool-toned, warm, or somewhere in between, we personalize your palette.

  • Pairs perfectly with beach waves or updos: Adds dimension and depth to any summer style.

How to Maintain Your Glow-Up

Color-treated hair needs a little extra love in the warmer months. Here’s how to keep it glowing:

  • Use sulfate-free shampoos and purple toning treatments to prevent brassiness.

  • Schedule a gloss treatment every 6–8 weeks to revive shine.

  • Protect your hair with a UV protectant spray—yes, hair gets sun damage too!

  • Consider a hair detox or scalp cleanse post-vacation to refresh your roots and remove buildup.
