Colour & Highlights

starting from £56

The glossing service begins with a consultation to understand your hair goals, followed by the application of a glossing treatment that adds shine and enhances your natural colour. The treatment smooths the hair’s cuticle, leaving it feeling soft, silky, and deeply nourished. Glossing not only boosts shine but also helps to reduce frizz and enhance colour depth, giving your hair a polished, healthy glow. Perfect for adding a radiant finish and improving overall hair health, glossing provides a luminous, salon-fresh look.

A hair glossing treatment is a semi-permanent service that enhances the tone, shine, and condition of your hair. At Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, our glossing service is perfect for refreshing faded colour, toning highlights, or simply adding a luminous shine to dull or tired hair. It’s a gentle treatment that doesn’t lift or lighten your hair but rather coats the strands to create a smooth, reflective finish. Glossing is suitable for all hair types and can be clear for shine or tinted to enhance your existing shade. It’s an ideal option between colour appointments or as a standalone service for a healthy, radiant look.

A glossing treatment typically lasts between 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your hair type, how often you wash your hair, and the products you use. At Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, we use high-quality glossing formulas that gradually fade, leaving no harsh lines or root regrowth. To maintain your results longer, we recommend using sulfate-free shampoos and minimising heat styling. Regular glossing treatments can keep your hair looking vibrant and silky smooth throughout the year. Want to refresh your colour or boost shine? Book your glossing appointment now.

Glossing is not the same as traditional hair dye. While both can add colour, a glossing treatment is semi-permanent and doesn’t contain the harsh chemicals used in permanent hair dye. At Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, our glossing service is a low-commitment way to enhance or refresh your colour without damaging the hair. Unlike traditional dye, glossing gradually fades without altering your natural hair colour or creating noticeable roots. It’s perfect for clients who want a subtle change, tone correction, or added shine without the commitment of a full colour treatment.

Yes, glossing is ideal for natural or virgin hair. At Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, our glossing service can be tailored to suit uncoloured hair, giving it a beautiful boost of shine and smoothness. Whether you’re looking to tone natural highlights from the sun or simply want healthier-looking hair, glossing is a great way to enhance your natural beauty without changing your base colour. It also helps tame frizz, improve manageability, and protect your hair from environmental stressors. If you’re unsure whether glossing is right for your hair, our stylists are happy to advise during a consultation.

No, a glossing treatment is actually beneficial for your hair. At Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, we use gentle, conditioning gloss formulas that smooth the hair cuticle and add moisture. Glossing helps restore shine, reduce frizz, and improve overall hair texture. Since the treatment is ammonia-free and doesn’t involve any lifting of the hair’s natural pigment, it’s much safer and less damaging than traditional colouring methods. In fact, many clients use glossing as a way to revive and maintain healthy-looking hair between other treatments.

Absolutely. Glossing is a fantastic way to tone blonde hair or refresh highlights. At Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, we often use glossing treatments to neutralise brassiness, enhance cool or warm tones, and bring life back to faded colour. It’s especially popular after bleaching or lightening services, as it helps seal the hair cuticle and reduce porosity. Whether you’re going for an icy platinum or a golden honey finish, our expert stylists can customise your gloss to achieve the tone you’re after. Click here to book your glossing session.

To get the most out of your glossing treatment at Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge, we recommend using colour-safe and sulfate-free shampoos. Washing your hair less frequently and avoiding hot tools as much as possible will also extend the vibrancy and shine. Deep conditioning once a week can keep your hair hydrated and smooth. If you swim often or spend a lot of time in the sun, consider using a UV protectant or swim cap to prevent premature fading. Our stylists can recommend the best products to help you maintain your salon results at home.
