Color & Highlights in Cornelius, NC
At LKN Salon in Cornelius, NC, hair color is more than just pigment — it’s personality, energy, and confidence captured in every strand. Whether you’re refreshing your roots, brightening your overall tone, or exploring a bold new hue, our color specialists blend artistry with precision to create shades that feel uniquely you.
We take time to understand your vision, your complexion, and your lifestyle before we mix a single color. Using top-tier products and expert technique, we ensure your color looks fresh, vibrant, and healthy from the moment you leave the chair to weeks later.
All-Over Color: Refresh, Revive, Reinvent
If you’re looking to completely transform your tone or simply add more depth and shine, our All-Over Color service delivers a consistent, radiant finish. This single-process application is perfect for enhancing your natural color, covering grays, or embracing a totally new shade.
Our stylists carefully select and customize your formula to match your desired intensity and undertone. After a soothing shampoo and conditioning treatment, your hair is blow-dried and styled to perfection — revealing a color that looks rich, dimensional, and unmistakably vibrant.
Root Retouch: Seamless Color Maintenance
Keep your color flawless between appointments with our Root Retouch service. Designed to blend regrowth and refresh faded roots, this process ensures a consistent, natural look from scalp to ends.
Our color experts match your existing shade precisely, maintaining your ideal tone and depth without visible demarcation. It’s a quick, essential service for maintaining that fresh-from-the-salon color all year long — subtle, seamless, and beautifully refreshed.
Partial Highlights: Subtle Dimension with a Sun-Kissed Finish
Sometimes, less is more. Our Partial Highlights service focuses on adding brightness and contrast to specific sections of your hair — typically around the face and crown — to create that effortless, sun-touched glow.
Whether you prefer soft ribbons of gold or cool, icy tones, partial highlights bring movement and light to your look without a full-color overhaul. This approach is ideal for clients who want a natural pop of dimension or are easing into color for the first time.
Full Highlights: Radiant, Multi-Dimensional Color
For a look that’s as striking as it is natural, Full Highlights cover your entire head with expertly placed foils that capture and reflect light beautifully. This technique adds dynamic contrast throughout your hair, giving it depth, brightness, and texture.
At LKN Salon, we tailor your highlights to complement your complexion and haircut — whether you’re after soft, blended tones or bold, beachy strands. The result is a high-impact look that remains wearable and luminous day after day.
Balayage & Ombre: Artistry in Motion
If you’re after a color technique that feels modern, low-maintenance, and effortlessly chic, our Balayage and Ombre services are the ultimate choice. Using freehand, painted application, our stylists create seamless transitions from darker roots to lighter ends — a look that mimics how hair naturally lightens in the sun.
Balayage offers softness and fluidity, perfect for clients who love dimension with easy upkeep. Ombre, on the other hand, creates a more noticeable gradient effect for those who prefer a statement finish. Either way, the outcome is luminous, lived-in color that grows out beautifully between appointments.
Toner & Gloss: The Secret to Shine and Balance
Between major color appointments, a Toner or Gloss service works wonders for maintaining your hair’s radiance. Toners help refine and balance your color tone — cooling down brassiness or warming up overly ashy hues — while gloss treatments add a reflective finish that enhances shine and smoothness.
It’s a quick, transformative boost that keeps your color looking salon-fresh. Many of our guests pair toners or glosses with blow-dry styling sessions to keep their hair polished and vibrant between full-color visits.
