Need help! Wanna get highlights on hair

  Hi everyone! Before entering Polytechnic, I am planning to get hairlights on my hair. May I know where I can get quality and affordable service for highlighting of hair? How much does dyeing of hair costs? How much does highlighting of hair costs?

   Also, how do I ask for highlights on my hair? I'm planning to get dark green highlights only on the top left right side of my hair. When I enter the hair salon, how do I describe to the hairstylist on how I want my highlights? 

  Does the salons have all the shades of the colour green that I choose from or are there limited choices of which shade of green I want. I've never been to a salon before @.@

  Grateful to those who are willing to help a newbie like me. Have a nice one!

  just say "dark green highlights only on the top left right side of my hair"

  groupon has $25 deals for highlight

  but must top up for bleaching

  might also need to top up for the green dye since it's not in the normal range of colours

  maybe end up about 60-70 bucks

   

  u can DIY at under $20

  buy bleach

  buy the colour powder or cream 
  
  (i happen to have dark green powder for sale. PM if interested. if not, dont waste my time)

  go youtube see tutorials how to do it on ur own

   

   

  btw, the colour will fade over time

  @FireIce If the amount of highlights I want in my hair is very little and my hair isn't too long, will it cost cheaper than what you state or is it the same price no matter hair length or amount of dye used?

  Also any hair salons to recommend near the north? Don't mind travelling far as long as the hair salon is walking distance from mrt station.

  Sorry, I don't think I would be able to buy your dye because I'm afraid that I would fck up my hair badly. I still hope you would reply though. 

  Anyone with hair salons to recommend?

  Hi FireIce. I was planning to go to the salon you reccommended, seeing that it was cheap and there was highlighting service but I've did some research and found many negative reviews about their service: http://www.beautyundercover.sg/hair/snip-avenue-bukit-batok/

  I really am grateful that you reccommend a cheap service to me but the quality is questionable. Any other hair salons that are guarantee good highlighting service? Thanks so much. Look forward to your reply.

  Snipe Avenue is lousy whatever branch they are.    They only interested to do hair according to their preference though they agree to customers' requests.

  DIY highlighting would require skillful hands

  Most places will give you a free consultation before you purchase a service

  I almost went to Snip Ave before I saw all the bad reviews about their service online... Phew! Shunji Matsuo is also too expensive for mee... Guess I'll stick to black hair v.v

  You can look out for promotion.   Salons do promotion for hair highlight.

  If you want go jean yip, do check out if they still use their house brands for colour.  I have a friend went jean yip for colour, colour faded.
