A gloss (aka toner) is a service that can be used in conjunction with color or lightening services OR as a stand-alone service. It's usually applied at the shampoo bowl and takes only a few minutes to process. A gloss is a demi-permanent and will eventually fade over time, depending on hair health, hair care regimen, products used and other contributing factors.

When some people hear the word 'toner' or 'gloss', especially during a color or blonding service, most times they associate it with the color or blonde needs to be corrected or fixed. Absolutely not the case. While they are often used to correct unwanted tones, they also have several other benefits:

add shine

reduce frizz by sealing the cuticle

UV & heat protection

preserve artificial color

refresh dull color

neutralize or enhance specific tones

restore luster

strengthen hair strands

reduce split ends

blend grays
