An Advanced Toner is a targeted, short salon treatment designed to refine the tone of hair that's already been coloured or lightened. It's ideal for anyone noticing yellow, gold, orange, or red undertones creeping in, and for clients wanting a cooler, more polished finish without a full colour change.
More information
What the Service Involves
Toner is usually applied to towel-dried or dry hair, often straight after a lightening service once colour has been rinsed clean.
- Product is applied first to areas needing the most correction
- It's then worked through evenly for a consistent result
- Processing typically takes 5 to 20 minutes, monitored closely throughout
- The whole appointment fits into a 30-minute slot
Who It Suits
This service works best as a refining step rather than a standalone colour transformation.
- Clients with brassy or warm undertones after highlights or bleaching
- Anyone wanting extra shine and a cleaner, more balanced tone
- Those maintaining blonde or lightened hair between full colour appointments
- Hair with higher porosity or previous colour treatment may need a consultation or strand test first, as results can vary
What to Expect and Aftercare
Toning gives a temporary result, so a little care afterwards helps it last.
- Results fade gradually with washing and styling, so repeat visits keep tone fresh
- Use colour-safe or sulfate-free shampoo and rinse with lukewarm water
- Reduce heat styling and use a heat protectant where possible
- Purple shampoo or masks can help blondes maintain tone between salon visits
At Jayne Elliott Hair Company in Lutterworth, our stylists, including Lisa Reeve, Donna Brookes, and Kasie Pearce, can advise whether a toner or a fuller colour service is the better fit for your hair.
