Hair Toner

What a Hair Toner appointment does for your colour

A toner works by depositing sheer pigment to shift the look of existing colour, especially on highlights, balayage and bleached sections.

• Neutralises yellow or orange tones for a cooler, cleaner blonde
• Adds warmth or softness when hair has gone too ashy or flat
• Blends and evens out faded areas so the colour looks more consistent
• Refreshes shine and gives a smoother, glossier finish on lightened hair
• Fine-tunes the result after highlights or balayage when you want the tone “just right”
• Includes shade selection, application, processing time, rinse and condition

Hair toner is most useful for blondes, balayage and faded highlights

A toner is a good choice if your blonde is turning brassy, your balayage has lost its fresh tone, or your highlights look a bit dull between colour services. It can also help if you want a beige, pearl, ash, honey or caramel result to look more intentional and even.

How a 30 minute hair toner service is carried out

The toner is chosen based on what you have now and what you want to see in the mirror, for example cooling warmth, adding a beige finish, or restoring depth. It is applied to the areas that need tonal adjustment, left to process for the right amount of time, then rinsed and conditioned. You will also get simple advice on products and washing habits that help the tone last.

After your toner: keeping the tone bright and reducing fade

Toner fades gradually with washing, heat styling and sun exposure. Using the right shampoo for your tone, limiting very hot water, and protecting hair from heat can help keep brassiness away for longer. If you are maintaining blonde, alternating in a toning shampoo can help, but overuse can make hair look dull or overly cool.
