A hair toner is a colour-correcting gloss that fine-tunes your shade without the commitment of permanent colour. It is used to neutralise unwanted warmth, refresh faded ends and leave hair looking smoother and shinier after highlights, balayage or a previous colour service.
More information
Hair toner outcomes you can see in the mirror
A toner is chosen to adjust the tone of your hair, not just make it darker or lighter. Your appointment is focused on correcting and refining what is already there.
- Neutralises brassy yellow or orange tones in blondes
- Cools down over-warm highlights and keeps them looking cleaner
- Adds a glossy finish to dull lengths and porous ends
- Softens harsh contrast after lightening for a more blended look
- Refreshes a previously coloured shade that has started to fade unevenly
- Can create a more muted, smoky or pearly finish depending on your base colour
Toner for blondes after highlights or balayage
If your blonde is pulling warm or looks too golden, toner helps bring it back to a cleaner tone. It is especially useful on the mid-lengths and ends where hair can fade faster and pick up warmth.
Toner for brunettes that look too warm or flat
Brunettes can use toner to reduce red or copper tones and add a richer, more polished finish. It is also a good option if you want shine and refinement without going darker overall.
How a toner appointment is carried out
You will discuss the result you want, then the toner is selected to suit your current colour and condition. It is applied through the areas that need adjustment, left to develop until the tone looks right, then rinsed and finished so you can see the end result clearly.
Keeping your toner looking fresh between visits
Toner results last best with gentle, colour-safe care. Using the right shampoo, limiting heat, and protecting hair from sun and chlorine will help your tone stay truer for longer, especially on lightened hair.
