Ciel

Highlights in Bangkok

Phrom Phong · Sukhumvit

Highlights change your whole look through the fineness of each piece, where they sit and the contrast. Using foil work refined in Australia, Ciel designs dimension and movement to suit each person — ideal if you want a fresh, polished look without lightening everything, or to blend greys. Low-damage product choices and grown-out-friendly placement keep it looking good until your next visit. Japanese, English and Thai spoken, about 2 minutes from BTS Phrom Phong.

Can I refresh my look without going lighter overall?

Yes. Highlights add dimension and polish without lifting your base much, so we can design something that still suits the office.

Can highlights blend greys?

They can. Blending greys with highlights softens regrowth and keeps a brighter look while reducing how often you need a root touch-up.

The Ciel method — three things we analyse before we touch your hair

At Ciel we do not start from "what style do you want". We start from three analyses, then design the menu that fits you.

Aki (4 years in Japan, 3 in Australia) and View (Thai stylist, Thai-speaking) confirm the plan and the total price before starting.

Highlights vs balayage vs inner colour

How Ciel places highlights on Asian hair

Dark hair shows every foil, so placement is everything. Ciel weaves fine pieces where light naturally hits — the top layer, around the face, the fringe line — and keeps the underneath darker for depth. Lift is stopped at the level the toner needs, and the toner is formulated so the fade goes soft brown, not brassy. Olaplex during and TOKIO after are recommended.

Price

Half-head foils + toner ฿4,490 (3.5 hrs) · high-light bleach + full colour ฿4,990 · balayage design from ฿5,590. Final price by number of pieces and length, quoted before starting.

How often do highlights need a touch-up?

Every 2–3 months for the foils, with a toner refresh every 6–8 weeks to keep the tone fresh in Bangkok sun.

Will highlights damage my hair?

Only the pieces in foil are lightened, and we use Olaplex during and TOKIO after, so overall damage is far lower than a full bleach.
