The Essentials

Gloss & Toner

Ammonia-free color that refreshes, refines, and restores shine.

$100 — includes shampoo and style

A gloss is an ammonia-free color treatment. That means no harsh lift chemicals, just tone and shine deposited gently onto your hair. It can be clear (for a shine boost only) or tinted, in which case it's commonly called a toner. At my studio, a gloss and a toner are the same service — the difference is simply whether color is added.


Clear gloss

No color pigment — just a shine-enhancing treatment that nourishes the cuticle and adds luster. Great for a refresh without changing your tone.

Toner (tinted gloss)

A gloss with color. Applied after lightening to neutralize brassiness and refine your exact shade — from platinum to warm sun-kissed blonde.

Think of it this way: all toners are glosses, but not all glosses are toners. The formula is the same — the only difference is whether color is added.


  • Blondes who want to eliminate brassiness or adjust their tone between full appointments
  • Guests who just had highlights or balayage and need the color perfected
  • Anyone whose hair looks dull or faded and wants to restore vibrancy without a full color service
  • Guests with highlighted or color-treated hair looking for a low-commitment refresh

How long does it last?

Typically 4–6 weeks, depending on how often you wash your hair and the products you use at home. Using a sulfate-free shampoo will help extend the result.

Will it damage my hair?

No. Because the formula is ammonia-free, it deposits color without opening the hair shaft aggressively. Most guests notice their hair feels softer and looks healthier after the service.

Can I book this on its own, or does it have to be added to another service?

You can book it as a standalone service. It's a great option between blonding appointments to keep your tone looking fresh.

Is this the same gloss included in your blonding services?

Yes. Every blonding service at my studio includes a gloss to perfect the tone. If you're already scheduled for a Dimension, Contrast, or Ultimate service, this is already built in.
