Want to take your hair color to the next level? Then toner and gloss treatments are for you. They add shine and fix brassy tones. At The Refinery Hair Lounge in Middletown, KY, we create custom formulas for every client.
Toners cancel out unwanted warm tones. For example, if your blonde looks orange or yellow, toner adds cool pigment to fix it. On the other hand, glosses add shine and make your color look richer. As a result, they give your hair a smooth, reflective finish.
You can get a toner or gloss as a standalone service. Or you can add it to your color appointment for a polished finish. Both treatments are semi-permanent and last about 4-6 weeks.
These treatments are gentle on your hair because they don’t use harsh chemicals. In fact, many glosses make your hair feel softer and shinier.
We serve Louisville, Prospect, Norton Commons, and La Grange. So book your toner or gloss at The Refinery today.
