Pre-lighten & tone FAQs

Pre-lightening is another name for what we used to call ‘bleaching’. If you want a hair colour more than two shades lighter than it is currently, our stylists will pre-lighten your hair to lighten existing colour and prepare it for the new look.

For this particular treatment, we’ll then apply toner to your hair to achieve the specific colour you want

Pre-lighten & tone is designed to first lighten all of your hair before toner is applied. If you are coming in to top-up and add shine to your current style, a standalone toner treatment is right for you.

You can have your hair pre-lightened if it’s light or dark. Darker hair colour may need more than one pre-lighten appointment to meet your goals, so our stylist will chat with you to make sure your hair is getting the right treatment.

Pre-lighten treatments usually need topping-up every four to six weeks.
