Service
A short visit that sets the shade and keeps warmth where you want it.
A gloss sits on the surface of the hair and shifts its tone; a toner cools or warms blonde and light brown. Both fade with washing, which is why many clients book one between color days. Results vary with your hair and how it has been colored.

What sets the price
A gloss or toner is priced as an add-on to a color visit, or as its own short visit. It follows the length and density of your hair, the time it takes and your stylist's level, and it shows when you book.
