More information
What's Included
Expect a calm, precise service that leaves your colour looking polished:
- Personal colour consultation to assess your current shade, skin tone and goals.
- Bespoke toner blend to neutralise brassiness, add warmth, or refine cool tones.
- Professional application across all hair or targeted zones such as balayage or face frame.
- Controlled development with regular shade checks for accuracy.
- Rinse and hydrating conditioner to seal and boost softness and shine.
- Option to add a blow-dry or cut for a complete finish.
Who It's For
Ideal if you want to soften brassiness in blonde hair, cool orange tones in brunette shades, or add richness and depth without a full colour change. It is also suited to natural hair that needs a glossy, refined finish.
Perfect between colour appointments to extend results, or before an occasion when you want your hair to look balanced and polished. Helpful for softly blending early greys where full coverage is not needed.
Duration & Appointment Timing
The toner itself usually develops for 5-20 minutes, depending on hair condition and the result you want. As a standalone refresh, allow around 30-45 minutes including cleanse and condition.
When added to highlights or balayage, it forms part of your colour visit. If you would like a full blow-dry or cut, please book these with your toner so you leave fully finished.
Appointment timings can vary with hair thickness and the finish you choose. We will advise at booking.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Use a gentle, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner. Wash less often, with lukewarm water, and always apply heat protection when styling.
To keep brassiness at bay, use a purple shampoo for blondes or a blue shampoo for brunettes about once a week. Do not overuse to avoid over-toning.
Protect hair from UV and chlorine with a hat or pre-swim treatment, and rinse hair after swimming. Nourish weekly with a hydrating mask to support softness and shine.
For best results, plan a toner refresh every 4-8 weeks, depending on your hair and routine.

Second visit to Vintage Avenue today and the service was outstanding once again. Jayne absolutely nailed my root touch-up and toner — she knew exactly what I wanted. Eliza styled my hair beautifully with the straighteners and left me with stunning curls. 10/10 — highly recommend!
