I just started hiliting my hair last spring. But I have been coloring my hair for about 10 years.
It is fun!
This last time I got the high and low lights of Red and Blonde. I love it.... I have short hair and it cost me $70 for the 2 colors
You being sort of close to where I am see if there is a Feista around you. I used to steer clear of them but the lady that did my hair from the time I was in elementary school to college works there now so I usually go there. The first time I got it hilited they were running a special that you got 5 hilites for $10 with a cut.
It worked for me b/c my hair is short and the girl actually gave me more then 5 b/c she said it wouldn't look right if she didn't.
It would be a good test to see if you like them.
Is there a Super Walmart near you? There is one in Lima I know I have gotten my hair cut there, maybe price them there?
GOOD luck and can't wait to see the results.
