It is ideal for reviving faded lengths, neutralising brassiness after highlights or balayage, and softly blending early greys. The formula conditions as it colours, fades cleanly with no harsh regrowth, and will not lighten your natural hair. ## What's Included A tailored colour service designed around your hair and goals. - Personal consultation to assess tone, depth and condition. - Custom demi-permanent gloss mixed to enhance or refine your shade. - Even application through medium-length hair for balanced results. - Processing time to condition and perfect the tone. - Rinse, gentle cleanse if needed, and nourishing finish. - Professional blow-dry and style to reveal the shine. ### Who It's For If you want low-commitment colour with high shine and a natural-looking result, this service is for you. It is an easy way to refresh tone between appointments or try a subtle change without the upkeep of permanent colour. Suitable for all hair textures and genders, and best for medium lengths that sit between the jaw and shoulder. Ideal for refreshing balayage or highlights, softening the look of first greys, or cooling down warmth and brassiness. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Allow around 90 minutes for consultation, application, processing and finish. Timings may vary slightly based on hair density and the desired tonal result. A skin test may be required at least 48 hours before your appointment for safety. This will be confirmed at booking. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Results typically last 4 to 6 weeks, and up to 8 weeks with careful home care. The colour fades gradually with no hard regrowth line. Use sulphate-free shampoo, lukewarm water and heat protection. Limit washing to extend tone, protect from sun and chlorine, and use a weekly colour-safe mask to maintain softness and shine. Plan to refresh your gloss every 4 to 8 weeks, or after highlight or balayage services to keep your tone polished and luminous.

A gloss is a demi-permanent colour that refines or adds tone, increases depth and shine, and fades gradually. It does not lighten hair or create a strong regrowth line. Permanent colour alters natural pigment for longer-lasting change or lightening. How long will the results last? Most glosses last 4 to 6 weeks, depending on hair condition, products and how often you wash. With gentle care and fewer washes, results can extend to around 8 weeks. Will a gloss cover grey hair? A gloss softens and blends early greys for a translucent, natural effect rather than full coverage. If you want complete coverage, we can advise on pairing a root colour with a gloss on the lengths. Is colour glossing suitable for all hair types and textures? Yes. It works on straight, wavy, curly and coily hair, and is excellent for refreshing balayage or highlights. For highly sensitised hair, the formula and timing are adjusted to protect condition. Do I need a skin test before my appointment? A skin test may be required at least 48 hours before to ensure safety. This will be confirmed when you book, along with simple instructions.
