Video Transcript

" Hi! My name is Dawn Shannon for Expert Village, owner of Intuition Salon and Spa I’m also a hairstylist and a colorist. Now I’m going to go ahead and I’m going to put a what’s called a toner on her hair. A toner is a great tool you can use it to tie end when you’re doing multidimensional color, it adds shine to the hair, it also if there were some tones in the hair that you wanted to eliminate such as gold you can use a toner to help neutralize that color, it something that can usually easily be done at the bowl on wet hair, you can also do it at your chair with dry hair. Now this particular toner I’m going to put on I’m going to put it on quiet quickly, focusing at the root area it usually stays on anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes, I’m going to use the toner just to keep the color looking natural and I’m going to leave it on about a total of 7 minutes. You can also use it to add gold tones, red tones, a lot of times we use it on blonds, go ahead and rub it in and run it through the ends evenly. I’m going to take a towel, put it under my clients neck so that she’s comfortable some clients may prefer to sit up and some may prefer to sit at your chair and now we’re going to let it process for 7 minutes. Okay so the toner has now processed I’m going to remove the towel from under the clients neck so there isn’t color trapped under there when we’re rinsing and same thing as normal hair color is you want to use cooler water when rinsing the hair. I thoroughly rinsed her hair and I’m very gently since I already have shampooed her hair I’m just going to very gently shampoo her hair using a color safe shampoo and again rinsing the color till the water runs clear from scalp to ends and that is how you apply and rinse a toner."
