More information

What's Included

A precise toning service that treats the lengths and ends with the attention long hair needs.

  • Brief consultation to understand your shade goals.
  • Custom toner mixed for your hair level, tone and porosity.
  • Thorough application through lengths and ends for even coverage.
  • Processing, rinse and conditioning to seal shine.
  • Personalised aftercare guidance to help your tone last.

Who It's For

Ideal if your highlights, balayage or all-over colour has turned brassy or flat and you want a soft, polished tone without a full colour appointment. It is perfect for refreshing your look between larger colour visits.

Suitable for blondes, brunettes and grey blending on long hair. Whether you prefer cooler, neutral or warmer tones, the toner refines the shade while respecting the health and movement of longer lengths.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 45 to 60 minutes for longer hair, depending on length and density. If adding a toner after a lightening service, it is usually applied in the same visit. For a stand-alone refresh, please allow time for consultation and application. Timing can vary with your starting colour and the goal.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Use a sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner. Rinse with lukewarm water and apply heat protectant before styling. Limit heat where possible.

To control brassiness, use a violet or blue toning shampoo once a week, chosen to suit your shade. Shield hair from sun and chlorine to protect the tone.

Book a toner top-up every 4 to 8 weeks, or sooner if your hair is frequently heat-styled or exposed to sun and hard water.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a toner do for long hair?
A toner refines your existing colour by adjusting the undertone and adding gloss. For long hair, it is applied with full saturation through the lengths and ends to ensure an even, polished result.
How long will the results last?
Most toners last 4 to 8 weeks, depending on your hair, washing routine and exposure to heat, sun and chlorine. Using colour-safe products helps extend the finish.
Can I book a toner without a full colour?
Yes. It works beautifully as a stand-alone glossing refresh or as an add-on after services like highlights or balayage. It is a quick way to revive tone between colour appointments.
Will a toner make my hair lighter or darker?
Toners deposit tone and do not lighten. They can subtly deepen or soften the shade, neutralise brassiness and enhance shine while keeping your base level the same.
How should I care for my hair after a toner?
Use sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and lukewarm water, and always apply heat protection. Incorporate a violet or blue shampoo weekly if needed, and minimise heat to keep your tone fresher for longer.
