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.

Really friendly salon. Kalaya always cuts abd styles my curly hair really well. Gives lots of good advice about products and how to use them. I never used to get my hair dried at a salon as the curls looked too fuzzy but every time I now know I am going to leave there with fab, shiny curls.

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.
