Pintura Hand-Painted Highlights for Curls
Bring your curls to life with Pintura—a custom hand-painting technique that adds dimension and volume without the damage of traditional foils.

About Pintura: Hand-Painted Color for Curls
Traditional foil highlights can often flatten your texture or cause unnecessary breakage. That is why I specialize in the Pintura technique. I paint each curl individually to ensure the color sits exactly where the light hits, creating 3D definition that moves with your natural curl pattern rather than fighting against it.
How Pintura Works for Your Curls
Unlike standard coloring where hair is sectioned and packed in foil, Pintura is a freehand technique. I analyze your curl type, ranging from 2C to 4A, to map out where the color should go. By targeting the curl crests, we achieve a natural, sun-kissed effect that grows out beautifully without the harsh lines seen in typical color jobs.
The Health of Your Curls
I never compromise on hair integrity. Every color session includes a K18 bond-repair treatment mixed directly into the lightener to prevent frizz and maintain your curl structure. We avoid the ‘dry, fried’ look common with high-lift services.
The Process
- Consultation: We assess your hair history and porosity to create a custom tone that suits your skin.
- Painting: I hand-paint your curls while they are dry to see exactly how the color will sit when you wear your hair down.
- The Finish: We follow up with a 'squish-to-condish' deep conditioning and a diffuser-dry set to lock in that bounce and volume.
Whether you want subtle caramel tones or vibrant copper, the goal is a look that is easy to manage on your regular wash days.
