If there’s one service that gives you more for less than anything else we do, it’s a gloss.
Fifteen minutes and $35. It knocks brassiness out of blonde, corrects yellow or orange tones, deepens and refreshes faded color, and — the part people notice most — makes your hair genuinely shiny. Not product shine that washes out. Actual light reflecting off a smoothed cuticle.
It’s the most-added service in our color room for a reason. Once clients try one, most never skip it again.
A gloss is a demi-permanent, translucent color that sits on the hair’s surface rather than lifting or depositing deep pigment. Three things happen:
Critically, it does none of this by damaging your hair. There’s no lift, no ammonia, no processing — it’s conditioning if anything.
Fifteen minutes. Add it to any color service or book it on its own between appointments.
A gloss finishes almost everything. After balayage it perfects the tone of the painted ends. After foils it tones out any unwanted warmth from lightening. After a root touch-up it refreshes ends that the root color didn’t touch. Mention it when you book and we’ll build it into the appointment.
$35. It takes about fifteen minutes and can be added to any color service or booked on its own.
Practically speaking, very little — both are demi-permanent, translucent services that adjust tone and add shine. “Toner” usually emphasizes neutralizing unwanted warmth; “gloss” emphasizes shine and richness. Same service, different focus.
Typically four to six weeks, fading gradually rather than growing out with a line. Sulfate-free shampoo extends it.
No — the opposite, if anything. There’s no lifting or harsh processing. Most clients find their hair feels smoother and healthier afterward.
That’s one of its main jobs. A gloss neutralizes yellow and orange tones and restores a cleaner, cooler blonde. If the brassiness is severe or uneven, we might recommend color correction instead — we’ll tell you which at a look.
Absolutely. Plenty of clients book a standalone gloss purely for shine and tone.
Only subtly, and only in the direction you want — it refreshes and adjusts tone rather than changing your shade. If you want a real color change, that’s an all-over color.
