Curly Color & Highlights
Curly Hair Color in Austin & Dripping Springs, TX
Curly hair deserves extra care when it comes to color. At Austin Curls, our stylists work with your natural curl pattern to create vibrant results that last.
Natural Color
We use Goldwell Professional Hair Color, known for its quality and consistency. From full coverage to subtle highlights or a soft refresh, every service is designed to enhance your curls while keeping them healthy.
Vivid Color
We also offer vivid color services for clients who want bold, expressive shades. This process may include lightening first, followed by bright tones such as pink, purple, or blue.
Consultation Required
A consultation is required for all color services. This ensures your hair is ready, the plan is safe, and the results will meet your expectations.
Serving Austin & Dripping Springs
Our salons in Steiner Ranch (Northwest Austin ) and Dripping Springs welcome clients from across Travis County, Four Points, Lakeway, and the Hill Country. Whether you want natural tones or vivid shades, we create color that works with your curls.
Curly Hair Coloring Services
At Austin Curls, we offer color designed for people who want to take it slow – who want color without sacrificing curl integrity. We do this by customizing everything to your curl pattern, using trusted products, and planning carefully.
Why Goldwell?
- Their Topchic Zero line is ammonia-free (also free of silicones, parabens, etc.) which helps reduce harsh chemical stress on curls.
- Enriched with white tea essence & acai extract for conditioning, shine, and antioxidant benefits.
- Offers reliable grey coverage (up to 100%) with gentler formulas.
Color Consultation
This happens 2-3 days before your color service. You'll get a strand test, so we can check how your curls respond, assess porosity, and make sure we can safely reach the shade you want.
Root Retouch
For keeping color consistent at the roots. We blend new growth with your existing color while using techniques that protect curl structure.
Double Process
LIghtening + recoloring in one. For dramatic changes or vivid shades. All lightening is done carefully, and lift levels are managed to avoid damage.
Vivid Double Process
Same kind of double process but specifically for bold fashion/fun colors (purples, blues, etc.) This lightening + color combo yields vibrancy while we monitor curl health from start to finish.
Partial Highlights
Brightens selected sections. We lift hair (typically 2-3 levels per appointment) in those areas to avoid overprocessing, then apply color or toner to harmonize.
Highlights
Full head of highlights for multi-dimensional color. As with partials, lift is controlled (2-3 levels per session) so curls stay strong and don't get sacrificed.
Balayage
Hand-painted, natural looking highlights that grow out softly. We usually life 2-3 levels per appointment; going to ask blond may take multiple sessions. At every step we protect hydration and elasticity so curls don't break or lose shape.

What is curly balayage?
Curly balayage is a highlighting technique where the color is hand-painted onto the curls, creating a natural, sun-kissed look that adds depth and dimension to your hair.
How often should I get a root retouch?
We recommend getting a root retouch every 4-6 weeks to maintain the consistency and vibrancy of your color.
Is a consultation required?
Yes, for color services, a consultation is necessary one to three days before your appointment. This allows your stylist to understand your chemical history and formulate a custom color or treatment plan tailored to your needs.
What is the difference between full and partial highlights?
Full highlights involve coloring sections of hair throughout the entire head, while partial highlights focus on specific areas, such as the top layers or around the face, to add brightness and dimension.
How does a double process work?
A double process involves first lightening the hair to remove the natural color, followed by applying the desired new color. This technique is ideal for achieving dramatic color changes or vibrant, bold hues.
Do you use ammonia-free products?
Yes, Goldwell offers a range of ammonia-free color products that are gentle on your hair and scalp, ensuring a comfortable coloring experience.
How should my hair be when I come in for my appointment?
We recommend coming in with minimal product, air-dried, and without it being pulled back by any clips or ponytail holders.
Does a wash come with my service?
Absolutely! We double shampoo your hair with all of our cuts, styling, color, and treatment services.
Can I get a haircut and a color service?
Yes, you have options! You can either book a color consultation first and then schedule your color service and haircut for a couple of days later. Alternatively, many clients prefer to book their haircut and color consultation together and then schedule the color service at a later date.
