We neutralise brassiness, refine your target shade and add lasting gloss, so hair feels soft and looks polished without a full colour service. ## What's Included A focused colour maintenance visit that resets tone and boosts shine. - Personal colour check and shade match to your existing plan. - Custom-blended acidic gloss or demi to neutralise warmth or add tone. - Targeted application through lengths, face frame and parting as needed. - Timed development for an even, translucent result. - Rinse and conditioning to seal the cuticle and enhance softness. - Styling advice and a home care plan to prolong your result. - Option to add a blow-dry or trim when you book. ### Who It's For Perfect if you love a clean blonde, a refined brunette or a soft grey blend and want to keep it that way between bigger colour appointments. It suits highlights, balayage and face-framing pieces that start to look warm or dull. Also ideal before events or travel, or after sun and chlorine exposure when brassiness appears. If you prefer a low maintenance routine but expect a polished finish, a Refresh Toner keeps your colour on point with minimal time in the chair. ### Duration & Appointment Timing This focused visit takes around 30 to 45 minutes, allowing for consultation, application and development. It fits neatly into a lunch break or after work. Most clients book every 4 to 8 weeks after a lightening service, or as soon as warmth shows. If you plan to add a blow-dry or trim, allow extra time when booking. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, wash with lukewarm water and always apply heat protection. For blondes, a violet shampoo once a week helps keep yellow at bay. For brunettes with orange tones, a blue-toning shampoo can help, used as advised. Limit heat styling, protect hair from sun and chlorine, and schedule your next toner in 4 to 8 weeks to maintain a consistent shade. A weekly hydrating mask supports shine and helps the toner last longer.

It is a custom demi-permanent or gloss that subtly adjusts your hair’s hue after a colour service. It neutralises unwanted warmth, refines tone and adds shine without a full colour appointment. How long will the results last? Typically 3 to 6 weeks, depending on hair condition, wash frequency, products, heat and sun exposure. Good aftercare helps the tone hold for longer. Will a toner lighten or darken my hair? A toner does not lighten. It may add slight depth or warmth if chosen, but its main role is to refine the existing colour and enhance gloss. Is a Refresh Toner only for blondes? No. It works for all shades, from blondes and balayage to brunettes and grey blending, by neutralising brassiness or adding the tone you want. Can I combine it with other services? Yes. It pairs well with a blow-dry, cut or treatment, and is often booked between highlight or balayage appointments. Add services when booking to allow time.
