What to expect

Want lighter, brighter hair? At The Refinery Hair Lounge, we create beautiful highlights that add depth and movement to your look. You can choose partial highlights around your face or full highlights all over.

Highlights are an art. That’s why our stylists place each one by hand based on your face shape and skin tone. As a result, the look is natural, like sun-kissed hair that moves beautifully.

We offer both foil highlights and modern blended techniques. For example, foil gives you precise, even lightening. On the other hand, blended styles create softer, more natural results. We’ll help you pick what works best.

We use only pro-grade products to lift and tone your hair. Each product protects your hair’s strength and adds shine. Plus, we include conditioning treatments to keep your hair healthy.

The Refinery has salons in Middletown and Shelbyville, KY, serving Louisville, Shelby County, and nearby communities. Our stylists stay up to date on the latest trends and techniques.

Whether you’re new to highlights or a longtime fan, we’ll create a plan that fits your vision. So book your highlight appointment at The Refinery today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Updated

Partial highlights add brightness to the top layer and around your face—they're great for a subtle change. In contrast, full highlights cover your whole head for an all-over lighter look. As a result, they work well for covering gray or making a bigger change.
Most highlight appointments take 2-3 hours. This includes your consult, color application, processing, toning, and styling. However, the exact time depends on your hair length and thickness. We'll give you a time estimate at your consult.
Most clients come back every 8-12 weeks. However, it depends on how fast your hair grows and how much contrast you want. For example, balayage-style highlights can go longer between visits. Your stylist will suggest a schedule that fits your budget and hair health.
Lightening does change your hair's structure. However, we take steps to protect it. For instance, we use bond-building treatments and finish with deep conditioning. We'll also check your hair's condition first and adjust our approach to keep it healthy.
Foil highlights use foil to create precise, even lightening—they're great for covering gray or getting high contrast. In contrast, balayage is a hand-painting technique for softer, more natural results. As a result, it grows out more smoothly and needs less upkeep.
We use only pro-grade color products that lift your hair while keeping it healthy. Plus, we use bond-building treatments and masks during your service. As a result, you'll leave with shiny, vibrant highlights.
Yes, in most cases. First, we'll look at your current color and history at your consult. If you've used box dye or henna, we may do a test strand first. Above all, we'll always put your hair's health first.
