Get answers to common questions about Glaze.

A glaze is a semi-permanent gloss applied after coloring. It coats the hair cuticle to enhance shine, smooth texture, and subtly adjust tone without lightening. Results last several weeks depending on hair porosity and aftercare, preserving salon color between services.

Most glazes last four to six weeks, though longevity depends on hair porosity, shampoo frequency, and product choice. Color-safe shampoos and cool water washes extend results. Tinted glazes fade gradually and can be refreshed during regular color touch-ups.

No — glazes are designed to enhance and subtly shift tone rather than drastically lighten or darken hair. A tinted glaze can neutralize brassiness or enrich tones, but dramatic color changes require full color or lifting services.

Yes — glazes are generally gentle and can add conditioning benefits to chemically treated hair. They don't involve ammonia or peroxide, but consult your stylist first if hair is extremely fragile. A strand test helps determine best formula and timing.

Absolutely — glazes are perfect for mid-cycle maintenance. They refresh tone, boost shine, and minimize brassiness without committing to another full color service. Schedule a glaze every few weeks as needed; your stylist will recommend timing based on results.

Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos and conditioners, wash with cool to lukewarm water, and limit washing frequency to preserve the glaze. Apply leave-in protectants and heat protectant sprays before styling. Avoid chlorine exposure and use UV protection when outdoors.
