During the lightening process — whether you’re doing a balayage or performing traditional highlights or on scalp lightener, hair naturally pulls warm. Toners were created and perfected to enhance and adjust the hue of the hair after a lightening service to neutralize warmth or add a hint of color. Expanding the much-loved Wella Professionals Blondor Permanent Liquid Toners, there are now seven shades plus a Brass Kicker to enhance color with quick, reliable, and true-to-tone blonde results. Below, pick up on key toning tips and get the know the two new shades — Pale Quartz and Pale Amethyst — to get a perfect blonde every time!

Apart from the intermixable shades, brass kicker, and gorgeous results, Wella Professionals Blondor Permanent Liquid Toners stand out with its non-progressive color that promises not to over-deposit.

The King of Blondes and Wella Professionals Chief Blonding Officer Zach Mesquit says, “When it comes to my clients, only the best will do. I’m obsessed with Blondor lighteners, and Blondor Permanent Liquid Toners are the perfect finishing touch for my platinum clients. They are a must-have.”
Expert Toning Tips
As an essential service for any and all blonde clients, learning how to use toners effectively comes with a learning curve. Knowing how light to lift and how long to develop is a skill you develop with time, but we’ve got a few basics to help you along the way.
- Trust the process — toners in wet hair can appear darker and some oxidize deeper when developing. Let them process for the full time to create the best results.
- Even the coolest blondes want to feel BRIGHT, so adding gold to your mix will help brighten the end result.
- Cooler tones can appear darker.
- Apply toner to the warmest areas first to give them extra time to correct unwanted tones.
