We neutralise unwanted warmth, refine your shade, and add a glossy finish so blonde, brunette, or balayage looks clean and polished. Gentle, quick, and ideal between colour appointments. ## What's Included A tailored toning service designed around your current colour and desired finish. - Consultation to assess fade, undertones, and hair condition. - Shade selection to suit your skin tone and existing colour. - Targeted application to roots, lengths and ends, or all over as needed. - Processing carefully timed for a precise result. - Post-toner cleanse and conditioning for softness and shine. - Finish and styling guidance to help you maintain the look at home. ### Who It's For If you love natural-looking colour and want to keep it fresh without a full dye appointment, toner is for you. It is ideal for brightening blondes, cooling or warming brunettes, refining balayage, and softening any brassiness that appears over time. If you prefer low-maintenance hair, a toner offers a polished result that grows out well and fits neatly into your routine. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Allow around 45 minutes for a standalone toner, including consultation and rinse. Processing typically takes 15 to 25 minutes, depending on your hair and target shade. Book a toner between colour services to keep your shade on track. Most clients refresh every 6 to 8 weeks, or sooner after holidays, sun, or swimming. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Use colour-safe, sulphate-free shampoo and lukewarm water to help your tone last. Finish with a cool rinse to boost shine. Introduce a targeted purple or blue shampoo once a week if recommended for your shade. Always use heat protection, and shield hair from UV and chlorine where possible. Plan your next toner in 6 to 8 weeks to maintain a consistent finish. Your stylist will guide you on the ideal timing for your hair and lifestyle.

A toner refines your shade by neutralising unwanted warmth and enhancing the reflect. It adds shine and smoothness. It will not lighten your natural base. How long will my toner last? Most toners last 4 to 6 weeks, depending on hair porosity, products, water, and how often you wash. UV exposure and heat styling can shorten longevity. We will advise the right refresh cycle for you. Can I book a toner without a full colour? Yes. A toner works well as a standalone gloss between colour appointments to refresh tone and add shine. It is also the finishing step after lightening. Will a toner damage my hair? Toners are gentle, demi-permanent or acidic formulas. They can improve the feel of the hair and enhance shine when applied professionally. Good aftercare keeps hair healthy. Is toner suitable for grey hair? Toner can soften or blend grey by adjusting the reflect to cooler or warmer tones. It will not provide full grey coverage. We can suggest the best route based on your goals.
