One of the most frequently asked questions we hear is about the difference between hair toner and hair glossing. Both techniques can transform your look, but which one is best for your hair goals? Let’s explore the options!

 

What Is Hair Toner?

Hair toner is a product designed to adjust the tone of your hair. It’s most commonly used on blonde hair to neutralise unwanted brassy or yellow tones, creating a cooler, ashier, or more natural hue. At ICONIC Hairdressing, we use Joico Blonde Life Quick Toner for its fast and effective results. This professional toner enhances blonde shades while delivering luminous, long-lasting color in record time.

 

Benefits of Hair Toner:

  • Neutralises brassiness and unwanted tones.
  • Enhances blonde highlights and balayage.
  • Adds vibrancy and dimension to your hair.
  • Customisable to suit your desired look, whether warm, cool, or natural.

What Is Hair Glossing?

Hair glossing, on the other hand, is a semi-permanent treatment that enhances shine, smooths the hair’s cuticle, and refreshes color. It can be clear or tinted, depending on whether you’re looking to enhance your existing color or simply add a glossy finish. We use Joico LumiShine Demi Gloss to provide a radiant, healthy glow to your hair while improving its condition and manageability.

 

Benefits of Hair Glossing:

  • Restores shine and smoothness to dull, lifeless hair.
  • Enhances and refreshes faded color.
  • Improves hair texture and manageability.
  • Lasts for several weeks with no harsh lines as it fades.

Toner vs. Gloss: How to Choose

Choosing between a toner and a gloss depends on your hair needs and your desired outcome. Here are some key differences to consider:

 

  • Hair Toner is ideal if you need to correct or adjust your hair color, especially after bleaching or highlighting.
  • Hair Glossing is perfect if you’re looking to boost shine, refresh color, or improve hair texture without making significant color changes.

For blondes, toners like Joico Blonde Life Quick Toner can eliminate brassiness and maintain a cool tone. For brunettes or redheads, glossing with Joico LumiShine Demi Gloss can rejuvenate faded color while giving your hair a gorgeous, healthy shine.
