Women’s Cuts — The Best In Lakeview

What’s more, we use some of the best-quality styling products in the industry, leaving your hair looking and feeling amazing.

Here’s what you can expect with our women’s cut services:

Consultation: The key to a great cut is listening to you. That’s why, even before you enter our salon, we will ask you about your hair and the type of cut you had in mind, to ensure we match you with the best stylist who can meet your needs. Whether you know exactly what you want, need help fixing a bad cut, or want our stylists to come up with a new look for you, we will work with you to create the perfect style.

Wash, Cut, Blow Dry and Style: From there, sit back, relax and let us take care of the rest. We will wash your hair using top-of-the-line salon products including O&M, V76 and Aveda. Then, we will cut according to the agreed-upon look, blow dry and add the finishing styling touches. Whether you want a few inches off or a pixie cut, you can trust our professionals. We understand everyone’s hair is unique. So many variables come into play, and our stylists will deliver a result that is specifically catered to your hair as best as possible, so you can properly care for your hair — long after your appointment with us.

COLOR
From full-head highlights to balayage, we provide a versatile range of coloring options to suit you.

The Art of Color

When you look good, you feel good. No one understands this better than Urban Lift. We are dedicated to helping you look and feel your best. Our talented, highly skilled stylists have mastered the art of coloring and highlighting, staying on the cutting edge of modern coloring techniques.

With Urban Lift, you can always expect the best in hair care, and that includes our exceptional coloring services:

All-Over Hair Color: Perfect for covering grays, going darker or lighter, or choosing a fun statement color, you’re sure to leave our salon with a stunning professional full-coverage color you’ll love.

Half-Head Highlights or Partial Highlights: Want your hair to have warmth and dimension? Half-head highlights or partial highlights are a great option to add depth and contrast to your hair.

Full-Head Highlights: Ideal for blondes or lighter shades, full-head highlights are incorporated throughout your hair. Even when you wear your hair up, you will see beautiful highlights throughout.

Balayage: Meaning “to sweep” in French, balayage is one of today’s hottest styling techniques. Want to refresh your color, without needing full highlights? Our master stylists will free-hand paint our special lightener directly onto your hair, creating a soft, natural appearance that will enhance your tresses.

Ombre: Meaning “shadow” in French, ombre is all about expert shading, with a seamless graduation of color. It doesn’t matter if you want a natural shade or a fun bright color, our master stylists will create a professional ombre look for you. Truly a work of art!
