Results usually last four to six weeks depending on hair porosity, shampoo frequency, and UV exposure. Glosses gradually fade rather than create a line of demarcation. We recommend maintenance appointments or at-home color-safe products to prolong vibrancy.

Yes — when applied by our professionals, toners and glosses are formulated to be gentle. We assess hair condition first and may recommend conditioning treatments before or after to strengthen strands and maximize results while minimizing further damage.

Absolutely. Our toners neutralize warm, brassy tones by depositing complementary pigments, restoring coolness or softness to blondes and highlights. Results depend on underlying pigment and may require pre-lightening or a tailored toner for best outcome.

Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos and lukewarm water, limit heat styling, and apply a hydrating mask weekly. Avoid frequent washing and UV exposure; we can recommend professional products to protect tone and extend gloss between salon visits.

Most toner or gloss appointments take 30 to 60 minutes depending on hair length, desired result, and whether a consultation or pre-treatment is needed. We'll confirm timing when you book so you can plan your visit comfortably.
