Color that glows is color that turns heads. At Craft Collective Salon Group in North Hills, we love helping clients achieve that mirror-like finish that feels silky, rich, and alive. A hair gloss or shine enhancement is the unsung hero of every beautiful color; it refines tone, seals the cuticle, and delivers instant vibrancy without changing your natural shade.


Whether you’re refreshing your blonde, balancing your brunette, or adding depth to red and copper tones, a gloss treatment keeps your color luminous between appointments and helps your hair feel like it was freshly colored, every day.


What Is a Hair Gloss?

A gloss is a demi-permanent color or conditioning glaze applied after a color service or as a standalone treatment. It smooths the hair surface, locks in tone, and adds high-definition shine.


Unlike permanent color, glosses don’t lift or lighten. Instead, they deposit tone and nutrients, think of it as a topcoat for your hair.


Our stylists customize gloss formulas to your color goals, choosing from neutral, warm, cool, or clear options to fine-tune your results.


Why Gloss Treatments Are Essential

  1. Tone Perfection Over time, every color fades or drifts warm due to washing, UV exposure, and heat styling. A gloss refresh rebalances pigment, neutralizing brass or enhancing warmth as needed.

  2. Extreme Shine The gloss seals your hair cuticle, creating a smooth surface that reflects light beautifully. It’s why salon-finished color looks so reflective compared to at-home results.

  3. Color Longevity Glossing refreshes faded tones, so your highlights, balayage, or all-over color stay vibrant longer between visits.

  4. Softness & Manageability Most glosses include amino acids or botanical oils that nourish the hair, leaving it silkier and easier to style.

  5. Zero Damage Glossing is a gentle process that improves hair health over time. It’s safe for all hair types and textures, even heavily lightened or chemically treated hair.


When to Get a Gloss

We recommend scheduling a gloss service every 6 to 8 weeks or pairing it with other color maintenance appointments. It’s especially powerful between highlights, balayage refreshes, or toning sessions like those described in our Brassy Hair Fixes & Tone Correction in North Hills guide (link to brassy-hair-tone-correction-north-hills).


Clients often combine glossing with root smudge or shadow root techniques [link to root-smudge-shadow-root-north-hills] for seamless tone transitions.


The Glossing Process

  1. Consultation: We assess your hair’s current tone and condition.

  2. Formula Selection: Your stylist blends a custom demi-permanent gloss to achieve your desired tone and shine level.

  3. Application: The gloss is applied from root to end and processed for 10 to 20 minutes.

  4. Bond Treatment: We often pair glossing with a bond-repair service [link to hair-treatments-health-north-hills] to strengthen and smooth the hair fiber.

  5. Rinse & Finish: The result is instantly shiny, soft, and light-reflective hair that looks and feels renewed.


Who Benefits from Glossing

– Clients between balayage or highlight appointments

– Anyone transitioning from warm to cool tones or vice versa

– Blondes fighting dullness or brassiness

– Brunettes seeking depth and reflective richness

– Redheads wanting to preserve vibrancy

– Anyone craving extra shine without commitment


At-Home Gloss Care

To maintain your results, our stylists recommend a few simple steps:

– Wash with color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner [link to product-education-hair-care-north-hills].

– Limit heat styling and always use a protectant.

– Avoid chlorine or saltwater exposure when possible.

– Book your next gloss before your current shine fades to maintain continuity.


Glossing is cumulative; with regular treatments, your hair becomes progressively smoother and healthier over time.
