Highlights and balayage in Bormujos
Light where you need it, with roots that grow out beautifully.
I’m Esther Roldán and I have been bringing light to hair for more than 30 years. At Ethernal, my salon in Bormujos, I do full and half-head highlights, babylights, two-tone highlights and hand-painted balayage, and I always finish with a toner that adjusts the final reflection.
How I choose the technique
No single kind of highlights suits everyone. I choose the technique according to your cut, your starting shade and how often you want to come back. It is key to know how to bring light to each head of hair according to its length and the type of cut.
If you want a visible, even change, I will suggest full highlights or babylights. If you prefer a softer, blended effect with roots that grow out without a line, hand-painted balayage is usually the better choice. And if you only want a touch of light, there are lighter options such as half-head highlights.
Before I start, I look at your hair
I assess your natural base, the colour you have now and the condition of the hair. With that I explain which shade is achievable, in how many steps and what upkeep it will need.
If you are not sure what you want, you can book the 30-minute hair diagnosis first and we will talk it through calmly.
The toner makes the difference
I lighten in a controlled way and always finish with a toner that adjusts the final reflection: honey, caramel, hazel or sand, warmer or cooler depending on what suits you.
In the more demanding processes I use Plex treatments to protect the hair while I work.
Looking after them at home
Before you leave I explain how to wash and care for your highlights, and I recommend the most suitable products for your hair. I work exclusively with professional, organic and vegan products.
When the reflection loses its shine, a toner or a treatment refreshes it without repeating the whole process.

Frequently asked questions about highlights & balayage
What is the difference between highlights and balayage?
Highlights are worked strand by strand from the root and give a more even light. Balayage is painted by hand, with a softer transition from roots to ends, so it grows out more naturally. I recommend one or the other depending on your cut, your shade and the upkeep you want.
How much do highlights and balayage cost?
Balayage costs €130. Full highlights are €41 on short hair and €66.80 on long hair. Babylights are €58.90 for a half head and €82 on long hair. A toner is added when the result needs it. All prices are in the table on this page.
How long does the appointment take?
Balayage and babylights on long hair take around 1 hour 45 minutes. Full highlights take around 1 hour. If a cut, toner or treatment is added, it takes longer.
Is there a deposit for balayage?
Yes. Balayage appointments are secured with a €50 deposit when booking on Booksy.
Can highlights help disguise grey hair?
Yes. Blending grey with highlights is a good way to wear it or to transition without a harsh colour line. I look at how much grey you have and where, and suggest the technique.
How often does balayage need retouching?
It depends on the technique, your base and how your hair grows. That is exactly why I choose the technique with how often you want to come back in mind, and I tell you before starting.
Do highlights damage the hair?
Lightening always asks something of the hair, which is why I do it in a controlled way, check the condition of the hair first and use Plex treatments in the more demanding processes. If your hair is not ready, I will tell you and suggest caring for it first.
