ASSORT TOKYO: The Neon Glow-Up | This Season’s “Highlighter” Hair Trend
If you’ve been walking through Omotesando or scrolling through your feed lately, you’ve probably noticed something: the muted tones of last year are making way for something a lot more electric. We’re calling it the “Highlighter” trend—vivid, unapologetic, neon shades that look like they’ve been pulled straight out of a Cyberpunk dream.
At Assort Tokyo, we’re seeing a massive surge in requests for these high-visibility hues. From Acid Green to Atomic Orange, these colors aren’t just a choice—they are a statement.
The Neon Palette: What’s Trending Now
• Electric Acid Green: The ultimate “look at me” color. It’s sharp, edgy, and looks incredible on textured cuts like mullets or shags.
• Solar Flare Orange: Think of a sunset, but turn the saturation up to 200%. It’s warm, bold, and surprisingly flattering on many skin tones.
• Radioactive Pink: A punchy, neon magenta that brings instant “Main Character Energy” to any outfit.
• Cyber Blue: A cool-toned, glowing cyan that stands out in any crowd.
How to Get the Look: Which Service Should You Book?
Achieving that perfect neon glow requires precision and, usually, a bit of “lifting” to create a clean canvas. Here’s a breakdown of the services you’ll need to book to get the best result:
1. Double Process Color
• The Process: One round of bleach followed by one toner.
• Best For: All-over vivid color on hair that lifts easily, or for a slightly deeper neon.
2. Double Process Creative Color
• The Process: One bleach and one toner that involves the usage of foils.
• Best For: Colors that involve specific designs, “peek-a-boo” panels, or graphic neon stripes.
3. Triple Process Color
• The Process: Two rounds of bleach followed by one toner.
• Best For: Essential for “highlighter” yellows and greens, or for those with very dark or stubborn natural hair that needs extra lifting power.
4. Triple Process Creative Color
• The Process: Two rounds of bleach and one toner using foils.
• Best For: Complex, high-contrast neon designs on dark hair bases where maximum lift is required.
Complete Your Transformation
A Quick Note on Bookings:
Please keep in mind that our color services focus purely on the chemistry and artistry of your shade. Haircuts are a separate service, so if you’re looking for a fresh trim or a total transformation to match your new neon vibe, make sure to add a “Cut” to your booking!
Self-Care Add-ons:
Bleaching can be intense, so why not give your hair some extra love? You can always add a deep conditioning treatment or a relaxing headspa to your session. It’s the perfect way to maintain hair health and shine while you decompress in our salon.
