I am a licensed cosmetologist. I no longer work in a salon. To begin with going to a salon unless you know the person or someone who has been there does not mean you will get success. I have had my hair done by people who were naturals had it in the family who had no license who did excellent work or students and even some friends who had experience along with aptitude. A Cosmetology school will charge you less but you take a risk with a for profit school. A Vocational School has fewer open salon hours but if you ask for a student close to graduation with more experience along with as Vocational Schools tend to have less people going such that the teacher is more apt to be around to keep an eye on it and my experience is Vocational Schools tend to hire experienced successful salon owners who are thinking towards the day they retire which working at a vocational school can provide (I was trained at a Vocational School in Highschool the education tends to be better but we had to chase down patrons because they do not advertise). You sign a legal waiver at a cosmetology school not at a salon but it they mess you up at a salon you have not checked into sueing does ot fix your hair and I have worked on a rare occassion with people or been done by people who were not very competent so beware. But before you do anything that is permanent you can go to some store like Sally's who carries cosmetology supplies %26amp; try some temporary paint on colors to try out what you like. I found these to be very fun and entertaining as a young adult. I would use it to enhance bleach streaks or highlighting or my natural color. It is inexpensive and not very damaging to the hair. There are many paint on kits I have seen at discount %26amp; drug stores designed to highlight different colors of hair with matching highlights. Use caution with over the counter make sure if you use permanent that it is a peroxide based permanent color because some colors are metal which often have very bad reactions with other colors or permanent curling solutions (permanent waves). If you decide to use permanent hair color be sure to get a light slight trim at least on the bottom of your long hair as the ends tend to be dry I use to have hair that went down almost to my waist. Also condition it good, find a good shampoo and conditioner that will help keep the color in your hair and not remove it. Also there are a great many shampoos out there that actually help add highlights to your hair without using some of the more drying permanent colors. You can also use colors that have conditioners added to them which is important with your very long hair. I always use a conditioning color as I have very dry skin and hair. Hope this helps you. The correct spelling I believe is Phillipines Phillipino but it sounds like Filipino there are some words no matter how much I look them up I just cannot spell them because they sound nothing like they are spelled. I really like the answer above mine with all the color ideas they are really good. Light colors help lessen colors around the face bring in color this is why lighter colors are suggested for older people. Darker colors help bring character to the face. A color slightly darker than your hair along with one slightly lighter than your hair will bring very natural highlights. Also you can go to some Cosmetology store like Sallys which is common locally to hold up hair swatches they often have them there to see what they look like against your hair color. Keep in mind all color changes when put on your hair according to how your natural hair is receptive to it and how it interacts with your own color. Oh really then I have been reading people who do not know how to spell it either I really like all the answers I learned something from it all and I use to go to all the shows. I am impressed with the answers here. Well that is why I use spell checker and a word processing program there is not one here. OH look they do have a spell checker here it did not catch whether it was correct or not. You are correct what I read before I took as a credible source was incorrect but it is Phillipines and Filipino. Last one looks right to me anyways. Filipino'; is spelled correctly. Thanks I never went back to check answers before. Possibly your hair is lighter from sunlight so you may want to go with some sunlight looking highlight I really like the color answers above mine. There is something also called framing it can be done heavily like a layer that goes around the face it is very striking but not very natural or it can be done lighter with highlighting streaks all the way around the face or it can be mixed with other highlighting streaks throughout the hair with an increased amount around the face. The problem with your hair being long is it may require special techniques like foiling to keep the color from bleeding over into the other hair as putting really long hair through a cap is very difficult especially removing it as I have seen caps have to be cut off on long hair. I did a girl with very very red hair that was very long in a permanent wave once who had bleach streaks all they way down her red hair that were beautiful as she had a good toner put on it to make it strawberry blonde or lifting color was used so it is possible if they know how to remove it. But you will need to comb out the hair after cleaning it well then put something on it like a detangler or conditioner to pull off the cap. Caps are difficult and do not go all the way to the root whereas a foiling technique tends to be more expensive as it requires more skill than a cap. A cap can be ripped easily with long hair if one does not take time. The longest I have ever had my hair with a cap is below my shoulders to my shoulder blades. Have you tried any of the sun lightening treatments that often use a peroxide gel out in the sun you can put it on in streaks and even use a hair dryer to bring out highlights. They work fairly well but you have to be careful it can bring you up to an unnatural orange. I want to go ask some questions I am open to be written to directly if you want.Whats a good hair color or highlight for a filipino???
Deep Mahogany
Chesnut probably. Or black.
my aunt is working at the elizabeth arden in chicago , and You should go for a chestnut with dark dirty blonde highlights.
You should give me 10 points for answering just one question. Filipino women have the most beautiful hair in the world so keep it black.
thats good to go colours that anything but blonde or brunette. i seen too much asian with brunette colour thats great to go colour such as pourple or blue or copper. but make sure you get the right tone for your skin its hard to tell which exact tone of purple or blue best to go and check out the sample colour hair and put near your face. take care gd luck.
Get rich red highlights.
yes longer hair means more chemicals which means more cost.


highlights are very personal in choice so you can get more than 2 if you want. well if you want to make your face appear brighter use ';cool tone'; colours, these are basically ashy colours with the word ash or cool in them such as ash brown, ice blonde, beige or iridescent. these type of colour makes your skin appear brighter and fairer. you can also go for golden or mahogany shades like golden brown or mahogany. these colour will make you appear more darker or tanned. highlight are can be used to frame you face, you a highlight that is lighter around your face is nice. if you want to get color and highlights together choose colour that compliment each other like browns and with blond, reds with different shades of reds or just many shades of blonde. usually what most salon do is they use bleach to highlight hair which usually gives it a gold sometime orange shade, but a good toner can even things out. sorry i cant help you with the pricing since i don't live in the Philippines, but usually its free to ask for the price range in your area.





if you have the guts, go to a person whose hair you like the most and asked them where they get it done and how much does it cost.





good luck
