Toning

Toning is the finishing touch that takes hair color from almost right to exactly right. It helps neutralize unwanted warmth or brassiness, refine your shade and bring the overall color into better balance.

A toner can cool down yellow or orange tones, soften overly bright highlights, deepen the root with a root shadow or give faded color a quick refresh between larger appointments. It can also add shine and help different tones blend together more seamlessly. Basically, it’s the detail work your color deserves.

Your stylist will choose the right formula based on your current color, hair condition and the result you want. Toning is often added after highlights or balayage, but it can also work beautifully as a maintenance appointment when your color needs a little attitude adjustment.

What is the process?

1. Personal consultation: Your stylist will assess your hair and discuss your goals.

3. Processing: The toner processes for 5–20 minutes depending on your hair’s needs.
4. Wash and style: A color-safe shampoo and conditioner are applied, followed by a final rinse. Your hair is then styled so you can see your new healthy-looking hair in all its glory.

 

How long will it take?

A typical toning service takes about 30 minutes.

 

How should I maintain and care for my hair?

To maintain your newly toned hair, wait 48 hours before washing and use only color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Rinse your hair in cool water and protect it from heat styling and sun exposure. Consider using a purple or blue-tinted shampoo once a week to combat brassiness if you have blonde or silver tones. For best results, schedule touch-up appointments every four to six weeks or as recommended by your stylist.
