What is a Hair Gloss ?

A hair gloss is a semi-permanent color service that deposits tone while adding shine. It contains small amounts of peroxide or low-pH developers that slightly open the hair cuticle, allowing color molecules to penetrate.

Types of gloss:

• Color gloss — deposits pigment to refresh faded color, add richness, or neutralize brassiness

• Clear gloss — adds shine and seals the cuticle without changing color

Best for:

• Brunettes wanting richer depth

• Blondes fighting brassiness (purple/blue gloss)

• Redheads maintaining vibrancy

• Anyone wanting to "blur" gray between permanent color appointment.

What is a Haire Glaze ?

A hair glaze is a surface-level shine treatment. It coats the hair cuticle with silicones, oils, and light-reflecting ingredients — but doesn't penetrate or alter color.

Types of glaze:

• In-salon glaze — professional treatment, often heat-activated, lasts 1–2 weeks

• At-home glaze products — leave-in sprays, serums, or masks used between washes

• Styling glazes — heat-protectant glazes that add shine while styling

Best for:

• Natural hair wanting shine without commitment

• Fine hair (won't weigh down like heavy oils)

• Between gloss appointment

• Special occasion instant shine
