Toners are hard-working miracle-workers which will fine-tune and refine your colour, delivering lustrous, long-lasting tone and shine to your locks.
Toners:
- Correct colour and tone, enhance, refine and add dimension to hair colour
- Create a protective, strengthening barrier around the hair, and
- Add volume and shine by plumping and sealing the hair cuticle, leaving a natural, healthy finish.
What are toners?
Our toners blend a cool-based colour cream with a gentle deposit-only developer. Toners won’t change or lift your base colour level, but they will deposit tone and shine, muting unwanted warmth and leaving a high-shine finish.
Why use a toner?
Toners are used to eliminate unwanted tones, and to enhance or refine hair colour, and they can:
- Balance and neutralise unwanted tones, delivering fabulous, refined colour finishes. Beautiful colour is focused, clear and free of unwanted tones. If your colour goal is a cool ashy blonde or brunette shade, then you need to eliminate golden or brassy tones. Toners neutralise any unwanted tones. Select a cool toner to counter-balance and mute warmth, leaving your colour finish free from warmer tones.
- Gentle Tone Refresh Toners deposit tone and some colour semi-permanently on the hair cuticle. A toner is gentler than a permanent colour application. Try permanent colour on your roots and regrowth only to cover greys, and a toner on your lengths to balance and unite tone and boost shine in your lengths.
- Colour Correction Toners can rebalance and correct patchy or brassy colour finishes, leaving a consistent, balanced finish.
- Greys Toners leave a lighter, shiny, sheer finish over greys.
- Shine Colour looking a little flat or dull? Toners will add glossy softness and shine, leaving your hair more manageable and expensive-looking.
How to Choose Your Toner:
Toners add warmth-busting cool tones that finish your colour beautifully.
Toners have either ash, beige or intense ash tones. Beige tones are cool, but have less cool tones than ash tones. Intense ash tones have double strength ash tones.
So beige tones have the least amount of cool tones, followed by ash tones, and intense ash toners have the most cool tones.
Select a cool based toner which is lighter than the lightest colour in your hair for best results.
For example, if your naturally black colour is lightened to a level 4 dark-brown, then a cool Trento 5.1 toner is the best option.
If you have highlights, select a toner which is lighter than the colour level of your highlights – our colourists can recommend a toner which works well for you.
You can select your toner from the options on our Toner kit product page.

My hair throws a lot of warm tones and I’m always apprehensive about trying at home colours but the cool dark brown did not disappoint. Very impressed.

I just want to say a huge thank you for all your help. After the toner last night I have achieved the perfect colour and am now so happy. I have added the toner to my membership so I can do this each time. Thanks again.

I get a cool finish which I love, with a nice, softer tone through it. Just lovely!
