That is what I usually do but this past winter I didn't feel like highlights. And this summer I thought I would be more subtle then last. My old colourist was fab and would put three colours of highlights in my hair. I loved it! Way more costly but she was d@mn good. She was just a bore is all. So after I moved here, I found this one that is good and chatty. But she is new and is still learning more colour techniques.
I could always drive to my old city and be bored for a few hours I guess!
