A toner or colour wash is a quick, targeted colour service designed to refine your shade rather than change it dramatically. It helps neutralise unwanted warmth, refresh faded mids and ends, and add a cleaner, glossier finish so your colour looks intentional again.

More information

What a toner or colour wash does

This service is all about polishing your existing colour so it looks balanced and fresh.

  • Neutralises unwanted tones like brassiness, yellow or overly warm ends
  • Refreshes and rebalances colour that has faded between appointments
  • Adds shine and softness for a healthier looking finish
  • Fine-tunes blondes, brunettes and reds without a full recolour
  • Helps blend mild unevenness after sun, heat styling, swimming or hard water

When this service is most useful

A toner or colour wash is a good fit if you want a noticeable improvement without the time commitment of a full colour appointment.

  • Your blonde is looking yellow, warm or dull
  • Your balayage or highlights need a clean, seamless refresh
  • Your colour has faded and looks slightly flat or uneven
  • You want to cool down, warm up, or soften the tone of your current shade
  • You want extra gloss and a more polished look before an event or trip

What happens in the appointment (around 30 minutes)

You will start with a quick consultation to confirm your current tone and the result you want. The toner is applied at the basin or through the hair, left to process for the required time, then rinsed and finished so you can see the tone clearly.

Aftercare and keeping the tone looking right

Toners fade gradually, so home care makes a big difference. Use colour-safe products, minimise high heat, and follow any advice on purple or blue shampoos to keep brassiness under control. If your hair is curly or textured, keeping it well conditioned also helps maintain shine and definition while protecting the tone.

    I had a consultation with Seamus today. Regarding a colour, he was very knowledgeable and straightforward and advised me fully. I would definitely recommend, such a good salon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a toner and a full colour appointment?
A toner adjusts the tone of your existing colour and adds gloss, but it does not create a major change. A full colour appointment is for bigger shifts in depth, coverage, or lightness.
Will a toner make my hair lighter?
Toner generally refines tone and can make hair look brighter or cleaner, but it does not lift natural pigment. If you want to go lighter, you will usually need lightening first, then toner to perfect the shade.
How long will the toner last?
Most toners fade gradually over a few weeks, depending on your starting colour, hair condition, and home care. Colour-safe products and lower heat styling help it stay true for longer.
Can I book a toner between balayage or highlights appointments?
Yes, it is a common way to keep blondes and blended colour looking fresh between bigger appointments. It can rebalance warmth, improve shine, and tidy up tone without re-lightening.
What should I do at home to stop brassiness coming back?
Use a colour-safe shampoo and conditioner and avoid very hot water. If needed, use a purple or blue shampoo as advised and always use heat protection when styling.
