These terms are often used interchangeably. A glaze, toner, and gloss all refer to a service that:

• Refines tone

• Enhances shine

• Softens or neutralizes unwanted warmth

• Refreshes color between larger appointments

This service does not lighten hair and is often added to color appointments or booked on its own.

What you book depends on how your hair is colored:

• If you are covering gray or maintaining one solid color:
  Book a Single Process Root Touch-Up. This service is for gray coverage or refreshing one all-over color at the root.

• If you have highlights and need dark roots blended or lightened:
  Book a Partial Highlight or Full Highlight, depending on how much of your regrowth needs to be addressed. Highlight services are used to maintain or refresh highlighted hair — not single-process color.

Yes. If your preferred appointment date or time is unavailable, you can add yourself to the waitlist directly through our online booking system.
