The appointment focuses on two key areas: a **root melt or blend** to soften any visible line, and a **toner or gloss** to neutralise brassiness, refresh your blonde, and restore shine. It's the ideal in-between service to keep your hair looking polished and blended. ## What happens during the appointment Your stylist will assess your regrowth and existing tone, then apply a **root smudge or melt** to soften the line where your natural colour meets your balayage. After processing, a **toner** is applied through the lengths to neutralise warmth, refresh your blonde, and add shine. - Root area is blended for a seamless transition - Toner removes brassiness and restores vibrancy - Hair is rinsed, conditioned, and styled - The full appointment typically takes **2 to 3 hours**, including finish ## Who this service suits This service is perfect if you already have **balayage, highlights, or a colour melt** and want to maintain your look without re-lightening. It's particularly useful when: - Your roots are showing but you don't want more blonde added - Your tone has faded or turned brassy - You want a fresher, more polished finish between full colour appointments - You prefer a **lower-maintenance colour routine** with regular touch-ups If you're looking for new blonde or a dramatic change, a full balayage service may be more suitable. ## Aftercare and how long it lasts Toner can fade faster than the underlying colour, so how you care for your hair at home makes a big difference. To keep your refreshed tone looking its best: - **Wait 48 hours** before washing your hair - Use **sulfate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner** - Wash less frequently and use **purple shampoo** between appointments to control brassiness - Always apply **heat protectant** before styling Most clients in Crawley book a roots and refresh toner every **4 to 8 weeks**, depending on how quickly their tone fades and how much regrowth they're comfortable with. Regular maintenance keeps your balayage looking seamless and your blonde bright.

The service is priced at £60 and includes root blending, toner application, and a full finish with styling. How long does the appointment take? The appointment typically takes between 2 and 3 hours, including consultation, application, processing time, and styling. Will this service add more blonde to my hair? No, this service does not add new lightener or blonde. It focuses on softening regrowth and refreshing your existing tone with a root melt and toner. How often should I book a roots and refresh toner? Most clients book every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on how quickly their tone fades and how much regrowth they prefer before a touch-up. What's the difference between this and a full balayage? A roots and refresh toner maintains your existing balayage without adding new lightener, while a full balayage involves re-lightening sections to add more blonde or dimension. Can I wash my hair before my appointment? Yes, you can wash your hair before your appointment. Clean hair allows the toner and root blend to apply evenly. How do I make my toner last longer? Wait 48 hours before washing, use sulfate-free colour-safe products, wash less often, and use purple shampoo to control brassiness between appointments. Will this service cover grey roots? The root melt or blend will soften and diffuse regrowth, but if you have significant grey coverage needs, discuss this with your stylist during consultation. What should I do if my tone fades quickly? Use purple or blue shampoo at home, wash with cooler water, avoid excessive heat styling, and book your next toner refresh within 6 to 8 weeks to keep tone fresh.
