What Does a Hair Gloss or Toner Actually Do?
A gloss or toner is not a dramatic gesture — it is a considered one. Understanding the distinction between these services helps you arrive at your appointment knowing what to expect.
- Gloss
- A semi-permanent treatment that deposits translucent color and shine onto the hair shaft without the commitment of a full color service. A gloss can be clear — adding pure luminosity — or tinted, enriching or shifting tone while sealing the cuticle.
- Toner
- A targeted form of tinted gloss applied specifically to neutralize unwanted warmth or brassiness — the gold or orange that surfaces weeks after a highlight or lightening service. Toners are semi-permanent and gentle on the hair structure.
- Color Renewal
- An Aveda-specific gloss system that refreshes faded permanent color between full appointments, extending vibrancy and reducing the frequency of full color visits.
Together, these treatments form the quiet backbone of well-maintained color. Our colorists at 228 N Park Avenue assess your hair in natural light before recommending which approach serves you best.
What Gloss & Toner Services Does Mint on the Avenue Offer?
All gloss and toner work at Mint on the Avenue is performed with Aveda professional color — formulated without many of the harsh chemicals common in conventional color lines and certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. Pricing below is a starting guide; your colorist will confirm the exact investment at consultation.
- Clear Shine Gloss — from $45. A clear, tone-free gloss that seals the cuticle and amplifies natural or color-treated hair with high-reflective shine. No color change — pure luminosity.
- Toning Gloss, Single Zone — from $65. A tinted gloss applied to roots, mid-lengths, or ends to correct tone and add depth. Ideal after highlights or a balayage refresh. Most appointments complete in 30 minutes.
- Full Toner Application — from $75. A targeted toner worked through all lengths to neutralize brassiness or shift the overall tone of lightened hair. Commonly paired with a lightening service and typically requires 45 minutes.
- Color Renewal Gloss Treatment — from $85. Using Aveda’s Color Renewal system, this service refreshes faded permanent color between appointments, extending vibrancy and reducing the frequency of full color visits.

How Long Does a Gloss or Toner Last?
Most gloss and toner results last between three and six weeks, depending on your hair’s porosity, how frequently you shampoo, and whether you are using color-safe products at home. Aveda’s Shampure or Color Renewal shampoos help extend the result considerably. Guests who maintain a regular gloss schedule — typically every four to six weeks — often find they can extend the interval between full color appointments.
Can I Get a Gloss If I Have Never Colored My Hair?
Yes — a clear gloss works beautifully on natural, uncolored hair, adding depth and reflectivity without altering your natural tone. A tinted gloss can also enhance natural hair by enriching the existing hue rather than changing it. For guests new to color services, a clear gloss is often the most comfortable introduction.
Do I Need a Consultation Before Booking?
For a clear gloss, a consultation is not required. For a toning gloss or full toner — particularly if you have had previous color services elsewhere — a brief consultation helps our colorists choose the right formula and avoid unexpected results. You can reach the team by phone at 407.645.2264 or by text at 830.390.0226 with any questions before you arrive.
Is There Any Damage Associated With Gloss or Toner Services?
Gloss and toner treatments are among the gentlest color services available. They deposit rather than lift, meaning the hair cuticle is not opened aggressively. Aveda’s formula also includes conditioning agents that leave hair in better condition than when you arrived. Many guests pair a gloss with a Botanical Repair treatment for additional structural support.
Can a Gloss Be Added On to Another Service?
Many guests add a clear or tinted gloss to a haircut, a blowout, or a Botanical Repair treatment. Ask your stylist at the time of booking and the team will schedule the appropriate time. A combined gloss and cut appointment typically runs 60 to 90 minutes, depending on hair length and density.
