Root Shadow & Tone (WHEN NEEDED WITH FOILING)

What's Included

A focused finishing step carried out within your foiling appointment.

• Personalised consultation on base, brightness and tone.
• Root shadow at the scalp to soften contrast and stretch regrowth.
• Custom toner or gloss through mid-lengths and ends to balance warmth and refine shade.
• Zone toning, if needed, for precise brightness and dimension.
• Cuticle-sealing gloss for shine and colour longevity.
• Blow-dry and finish to check tone and blend.

Who It's For

Perfect if you love highlights or balayage but want a softer grow-out and a more natural root. Ideal for lived-in blondes, brondes and multi-dimensional brunettes who prefer a polished yet low-maintenance look.

Great for refining brassiness, camouflaging the initial regrowth line, and blending scattered greys without committing to permanent root colour.

Duration & Appointment Timing

This service is an add-on performed during your foiling appointment. Allow an additional 20 to 35 minutes for formulation, application and processing, depending on hair length, density and desired result.

Your colourist will confirm if a root shadow and tone is needed after the foils are rinsed. It is not a permanent root colour and is not offered as a standalone root application.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Use colour-safe, sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner to protect the tone and gloss. Wash with lukewarm water, reduce heat styling where possible, and always apply heat protection.

To control warmth, use a purple or blue shampoo once a week, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends to avoid over-toning the root area.

Book a toner refresh every 6 to 8 weeks to maintain clarity and shine, with foil maintenance typically every 8 to 12 weeks depending on your grow-out and desired brightness.
