A gloss is a color refresh

A professional gloss is usually a gentle tonal service used to refine unwanted warmth or coolness, revive faded color and improve visible shine. The exact effect depends on the formula and starting hair.

It fades by design

Gloss is not the same as a permanent root-color service. It gradually fades with washing, which is part of why it can work well as a bridge between larger color appointments.

Know when you need more than gloss

If the problem is significant regrowth, a major color change, uneven lift or correction work, gloss alone may not solve it. A consultation can separate a simple tonal refresh from a service that needs a different plan.
