Refine your colour. Restore your tone. Refresh your finish.
A Toner at Simon Warwick Salons is a professional service designed to perfect your hair colour, enhance shine, and maintain that just-coloured look between full appointments.

What’s Included

A toner is a semi-permanent colour treatment used to adjust the tone of pre-lightened or coloured hair. It can neutralise unwanted warmth, add softness or depth, and refresh faded lengths — all while boosting shine and improving condition.

Your appointment begins with a brief consultation, where your colourist will assess your current tone, hair condition, and the result you’d like to achieve. We’ll select the ideal toner shade — whether you’re looking for a creamy blonde, an ashier brunette, or a touch of warmth — then apply it carefully through the lengths. After development, we’ll rinse, condition, and often finish with a professional blow-dry if requested.

This service is frequently combined with balayage, highlights, root tints, or glossing appointments, but it can also be booked as a stand-alone refresh between colour visits.

More information

Who It’s For

Toners are most commonly used by clients with highlighted, balayaged, or pre-lightened hair. If your colour has started to fade or shift, or if you’d like to refine the tone to better suit the season or your current style, a toner can offer an instant refresh without committing to a full colour.

It’s also a discreet way to adjust tone after time in the sun, exposure to heat, or hard water, which can all affect how colour holds.

Duration & Appointment Timing

A toner appointment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your hair’s length, thickness, and desired result. If you’re booking a toner with a blow-dry or cut, we’ll allow additional time to ensure everything is completed to our usual meticulous standards.

How Often Should You Book?

Most clients benefit from a toner every 4 to 6 weeks between full colour appointments to keep their tone refined and consistent. Your colourist will advise on the right interval and recommend at-home care to maintain the finish.

For expert tone and colour refinement from experienced hairdressers London, a Simon Warwick toner is a subtle yet powerful step in keeping your colour looking its absolute best.

    Carlos did an amazing job with my hair color! I got baby highlights, and the result is absolutely top quality—so natural, soft, and beautifully blended. He really knows what he’s doing and pays close attention to detail. I’m so happy with how it turned out. Highly recommend Carlos if you’re looking for someone truly talented and professional!

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a hair toner do?
A toner refines the shade you already have by adjusting undertones. It neutralises brassiness, softens demarcation and adds gloss for a balanced, polished finish.
How long does a toner last?
Most toners last 3–6 weeks, depending on hair porosity, shade depth, washing frequency and heat or sun exposure. Your formula is tailored to maximise longevity while keeping hair healthy.
Will a toner lighten my hair?
No. Toner does not lift colour; it works on tone only. To lighten, you would need a lightening service such as highlights or balayage.
Can a toner cover grey hair?
Toner will not give full grey coverage, but it can soften and blend early greys for a more seamless look. For complete coverage, a permanent root colour is recommended.
Will a toner damage my hair?
Demi-permanent toners are gentle and conditioning, leaving the cuticle smooth and reflective. Formulas are chosen to suit your hair’s condition and protect shine and integrity.
