A shine-and-tone refresh between color appointments. Kills brass and wakes color back up.
Prep before your appointment
- Come in with clean, dry hair if possible, gloss applies best without buildup or oil sitting on the strand
- Skip any heavy products the day of, especially dry shampoo or thick creams
- Let us know at the start of your appointment what shade direction you're hoping for, even a rough idea helps us get the tone right
- If you've had a lot of sun exposure lately, mention it, summer can shift your base color more than people expect
Aftercare
- Hold off on washing your hair for at least a day or two to let the gloss fully set
- Color-safe shampoo and conditioner will help the tone last longer, especially if you're washing frequently in warmer months
- Heat and humidity can fade gloss a bit faster, so a good leave-in with UV protection goes a long way
- Gloss is a temporary service by nature, so we'll talk with you about a realistic timeline before you leave

Stylists for Gloss & Tone
A gloss and tone treatment is one of the more underestimated appointments on the menu. In 45 minutes, the formula smooths the cuticle, deposits tone, and adds a layer of shine that makes color look freshly done even if you got it weeks ago. It sits on top of the hair rather than lifting or penetrating, so it works well for guests who want a visible refresh without committing to a full color service. At Curl Interrupted Salon & Spa in Waco, this service starts at $50, which makes it an easy add-on or a standalone appointment when your hair just needs to look pulled together again.
Because the formula is deposit-only, it's a good fit for color-treated hair that's gone a little brassy, natural hair that wants more shine, or any situation where tone has shifted since your last visit. To keep the results holding longer, plan to wait 24 to 48 hours before your first wash, and use a color-safe shampoo when you do. A quick conversation with your stylist beforehand about what's been bothering you, brassiness, dullness, uneven tone, helps dial in the right formula from the start.
