Toners
Gloss Toner: A gloss toner is a semi-permanent hair treatment designed to enhance, refresh, or adjust the tone of hair color while adding shine and smoothness. It helps to neutralize unwanted tones (like brassiness or yellow hues), enrich existing colour, and create a more polished, luminous finish. Key benefits of a gloss toner include:
-
Color Enhancement: Refreshes faded color or enhances natural tones.
-
Tone Correction: Neutralizes unwanted warm or cool tones for a balanced look.
-
Shine Boost: Adds a glossy, healthy shine to the hair.
-
Conditioning: Often formulated with nourishing ingredients to improve hair texture and softness.
-
Low Commitment: Fades gradually over weeks, making it ideal for maintaining color without long-term commitment.
Gloss toners are suitable for all hair types and are typically applied after colouring services like foils or balayage to perfect the final shade.
Root Stretch Toner: A root stretch toner is a technique where the toner is applied more heavily at the roots and softly blended into the mid-lengths and ends. This creates a natural, lived-in effect by softening the transition between natural root growth and colored hair. It helps to:
-
Blend Regrowth: Softens harsh lines between natural roots and colored hair.
-
Create Depth: Adds dimension and depth at the roots for a more natural look.
-
Low Maintenance: Extends the life of balayage or foil work by allowing roots to grow out seamlessly.
Classic Toner: A toner is a semi-permanent hair product used after lightening or colouring to refine the hair's tone, correct unwanted hues, and enhance the overall color. Toners help neutralize brassy, yellow, or orange tones, or add depth and shine to the hair for a more polished and balanced look. They can be applied to the entire head or specific areas to perfect the final result.
​Foils – Full, Half, Quarter & Babylights
Micro Foil Transformation: Full Head This covers the entire head, ensuring maximum brightness and dimension.
Full Head of Foils: This technique involves placing foils throughout the entire head, including the back, sides, crown, and hairline. It provides an even, consistent lightening or colouring effect, from roots to ends. Ideal for clients wanting a significant colour change or maximum brightness.
Half Head of Foils: Foils are applied to the top half of the hair, including the crown, sides, and front. This brightens the upper sections while leaving the lower layers natural or less highlighted. It's great for adding dimension or maintaining a full head of foils without doing the entire head every time.
Quarter Head of Foils: Focuses on specific sections, typically the top layers and hairline. This is ideal for subtle brightness, touching up previous colour work, or adding dimension to specific areas.
-
Partline Foils: Foils are placed only along the parting line and front hairline to freshen up colour and add brightness where it's most visible. This is a quick, low- maintenance option for those needing a subtle refresh between full appointments.
-
Face Frame: Face frame foils involve strategically placed highlights along the hairline and fringe area to illuminate the face, soften features, and enhance the overall colour without a full highlight. This service creates a refreshed, brighter look with minimal maintenance and processing time.
Balayage & Lived-in Colour
​A balayage/ombré lived-in colour service is a low-maintenance highlighting technique designed to create a soft, blended gradient from darker roots to lighter ends, with natural depth and seamless grow-out.
​
This service uses hand-painted balayage and/or ombré techniques to build brightness through the mid-lengths and ends while maintaining a deeper, natural root. The result is a sun-kissed, dimensional look that grows out softly without harsh lines, making it ideal for clients who prefer extended time between appointments.
All Over Colour | Glossing
Permanent All Over Colour: A permanent all-over colour service is a full hair coloring treatment that applies permanent dye from roots to ends to create a consistent, long-lasting shade.
This service involves applying a permanent hair colour evenly throughout the entire head to achieve uniform coverage, enhance natural colour, deepen or lighten the overall shade, or fully cover gray hair. The result is rich, even colour with long-term durability and consistent tone from root to tip.
​
All Over Gloss Toner: An all-over gloss colour service is a non-permanent or demi-permanent colouring treatment that enhances tone, shine, and vibrancy without permanently altering the natural hair colour.
This service applies a gloss or toner from roots to ends to refresh existing colour, enhance natural or previously coloured hair, and correct unwanted tones. It boosts shine, smooths the cuticle, and leaves the hair looking healthier with a soft, even finish.
