The service uses **semi- or demi-permanent colour** to neutralise unwanted warmth, refine highlights, and add shine without further lightening your hair. It is the maintenance step that keeps your blonde looking polished and fresh every 4–6 weeks. ## What happens during the appointment Your stylist will start with a **consultation** to discuss your current tone, any brassiness you want to neutralise, and your ideal shade. The service typically includes: - A **clarifying or gentle wash** to prepare clean, product-free hair - **Toner application** to all blonde or highlighted areas, working the formula through evenly - **Processing** for 5–30 minutes depending on the formula and your hair condition - A **rinse, conditioning treatment**, and finish with a blow-dry or style The toner deposits colour onto your already-lightened hair, refining the shade rather than lifting it further. The result is a more even, customised tone with **reduced brassiness and added gloss**. ## Who it suits and when to book A Refresh Toner is ideal if you have **existing highlights, balayage, full-head foils, or any pre-lightened blonde** and want to keep the colour looking its best. It works best when your hair is already light enough for the chosen toner shade. Most clients in our **Crawley salon** book every **4–6 weeks** to maintain a consistent cool, neutral, or warm tone and to prevent yellow or orange tones from building up. If your hair has been bleached or highlighted recently and you notice warmth creeping in, a Refresh Toner is the quickest way to restore that fresh, salon-finish look. It is also a good choice if you prefer a **softer, lived-in blonde** and want to gently shift the tone without committing to a full colour change. ## Maintaining your toner at home Toner longevity depends on your hair condition and aftercare. Most clients find the tone gradually fades over **4–8 weeks**, so regular refresh appointments keep colour consistent. To get the most from your toner: - Use **sulphate-free or colour-safe shampoo** and limit washing frequency - Incorporate **purple or blue shampoo** when advised to neutralise warmth between visits - Protect hair from heat with a **heat protectant** before styling - Minimise exposure to **chlorine and prolonged sun**, which can strip tone faster Your stylist will recommend the best home care plan for your hair type and lifestyle. ## How it fits into your colour routine A Refresh Toner is **quicker and more affordable** than a full highlight or balayage session because it works with your existing colour rather than re-bleaching. It is a low-damage service, using **low-volume developer** and deposit-only formulas that do not compromise hair structure. Many clients pair it with a **conditioning or bond-repair treatment** to counter any dryness from previous lightening and keep hair healthy and glossy. If you are looking for a noticeable change in tone or have uneven colour, your stylist may recommend additional steps or a more comprehensive service such as a **Colour Melt** or **Full Head Foils with Root Blend** to achieve the result you want.

Always sees the vision and executes to perfection!! ## Frequently Asked Questions How often should I book a Refresh Toner? Most clients book every 4–6 weeks to maintain tone and neutralise brassiness between major blonding appointments. Your stylist will recommend the best schedule based on your hair and the look you want to maintain. Will a Refresh Toner make my hair lighter? No, a toner does not lighten hair. It only deposits colour onto already-lightened hair to refine the tone and neutralise unwanted warmth. If you want to go lighter, you will need a separate lightening service such as highlights or balayage. Can I have a Refresh Toner if I have never had highlights? A Refresh Toner works best on hair that has already been lightened. If your hair is naturally dark or has not been pre-lightened, the toner will not create blonde or significantly change your colour without a separate bleach or lifting step. How long does a Refresh Toner last? Toner typically lasts 4–8 weeks, depending on your hair condition and home care. Frequent washing, harsh shampoos, and chlorine exposure can cause the tone to fade faster. Using colour-safe products and limiting washes will help prolong the results. Is a Refresh Toner damaging to my hair? No, a Refresh Toner is a low-damage service. It uses semi- or demi-permanent colour with low-volume developer and does not significantly compromise hair structure. Many clients pair it with a conditioning treatment to keep hair healthy and glossy. What is the difference between a Refresh Toner and a full colour service? A Refresh Toner re-tones existing blonde without further lightening, making it quicker and less expensive than a full highlight or balayage session. It maintains and refines your current colour rather than changing it completely. Can a Refresh Toner fix brassy or uneven colour? A toner can neutralise brassiness and refine tone, but if you have severe banding or very uneven lightening, you may need a more comprehensive service such as a Colour Correction or Colour Melt to achieve an even result. What should I do at home to keep my toner looking fresh? Use sulphate-free or colour-safe shampoo, limit washing frequency, and incorporate purple or blue shampoo when advised. Protect hair from heat with a heat protectant and minimise chlorine and sun exposure to help the toner last longer. How much does a Refresh Toner cost and how long does it take? A Refresh Toner is £57 and takes approximately 75 minutes, including consultation, application, processing, and a finishing blow-dry or style. Can I change my blonde tone with a Refresh Toner? A toner can shift your tone slightly—for example, cooler or warmer, or a little softer—but it cannot create a dramatically different blonde or lighten your hair further. If you want a noticeable change, discuss your goals with your stylist during the consultation.
