Pre-Lighten and Tone

starting from £126

The pre-lighten and tone service starts with a gentle lightening process to lift your hair to the desired level of blonde or lightness. After lightening, the stylist applies a toner to neutralize any unwanted yellow or orange tones, leaving you with a cooler, more natural shade. This two-step process enhances brightness while achieving a smooth, even colour with depth and shine. Perfect for achieving a flawless blonde or lightened look, pre-lighten and tone creates a radiant, well-balanced finish.

ANSWER FOR SERVICE

A Pre-Lighten and Tone service at Hair & Beauty Salon Emily in Cambridge is a two-step colouring process that first lightens your natural hair and then applies a toner to achieve your desired shade. The pre-lightening lifts the natural pigment to a lighter base, while the toner corrects and perfects the final colour, whether you’re aiming for icy blondes, soft pastels, or creamy beiges. This treatment ensures a professional, even result and is ideal for those looking to achieve a bright, clean finish. Book your Pre-Lighten and Tone appointment here.
