More information

What's Included

Your gloss is mixed to suit your tone goals and the needs of longer hair.

  • Personal consultation to assess colour history, condition and desired result.
  • Tailored shade selection to enhance or neutralise tone on mid-lengths and ends.
  • Even application for long hair, ensuring balanced saturation from roots to tips if required.
  • Timed development with regular checks for consistency and shine.
  • Cleanse and conditioning finish to seal in softness and luminosity.
  • Professional blow-dry and style to showcase the result.
  • Aftercare guidance and a personalised maintenance plan.

Who It's For

Ideal if your hair sits at or below shoulder level and you want richer tone, visible shine or a soft refresh between colour services. Works on natural or previously coloured hair.

Great for cooling brassiness, adding warmth to brunettes or reds, refining blondes, and softening the look of early greys. Choose a subtle, natural finish or a more fashion-led tonal shift without the commitment of lightening.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Please allow around 105 minutes for consultation, application, development, cleanse and finish. Very long or thick hair may require additional time for perfect saturation.

Booking guidance: if your hair reaches the shoulders or longer, select this service for accurate timing. A colour sensitivity test may be required before your first gloss.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Wash with colour-safe, sulphate-free formulas and cool to lukewarm water to slow fade. Always use heat protection and limit high heat where possible.

Refresh your gloss every 4 to 8 weeks depending on shade depth, hair porosity and routine. Use a weekly hydrating mask, protect hair from UV and chlorine, and consider a tonal shampoo when needed to maintain clarity and shine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will colour glossing lighten my hair?
No. A gloss adjusts or deepens tone and adds shine without lifting your natural base. It refines colour and leaves no harsh root line as it grows out.
How long does a gloss last on long hair?
Expect results to last around 4 to 8 weeks, depending on shade, hair porosity and home care. It fades softly, keeping maintenance low and grow-out seamless.
Is glossing good for grey blending?
Yes. A gloss can soften and veil early greys for a natural, translucent effect. For fuller coverage, your colourist can recommend alternative options.
Can I have a gloss over highlights or balayage?
Absolutely. A gloss refreshes existing blonde, brunette or copper work by cooling brassiness or adding richness. It is ideal between lightening services to keep tone fresh.
What counts as long hair for this service?
Hair that sits on or below the shoulders is treated as long for application and timing. Extra thick or very long lengths may need additional time for even saturation.
