Quick answer

What is hair toning?

Hair toning is a color-adjusting service that refines your shade after bleaching or coloring, neutralizing yellow, orange or brassy tones and adding shine. Toners are typically semi-permanent and improve tone rather than change your base color. At Soonsiki Moment Hongdae, stylists analyze your current color and apply a customized toner for a balanced, natural Korean finish.

FAQ

Hair toning questions, answered

How is toning different from hair dye?

Toners are typically semi-permanent and adjust the tone of your existing color rather than changing the base shade. Dye, as in a full hair coloring service, changes the color itself.

Do I need toning after bleaching?

Usually yes, because bleached hair often shows yellow or orange. Toning is already part of our hair bleaching process and is also booked on its own to refresh it later.

Can toning fix uneven or faded color?

Color-correction toning can even out uneven or faded shades. If the problem is darker regrowth, a root touch-up or root bleach may be needed too.

Does toning work on highlights?

Yes, toning works well on bleached, highlighted or colored hair and helps highlights blend seamlessly.

How much does toning cost and how long does it take?

It depends on your hair length and current color. Ask us on WhatsApp for current price/time.
