Tones and fine highlights give hair depth and make it look livelier – for men, placed deliberately subtly. It is not about eye-catching streaks, but about nuances that suit the type.
What tones do
Fine lighter areas break up a flat shade and make hair look fuller and more natural. For men we place them sparingly so it does not look coloured.
Subtle rather than striking
The difference from classic highlights is quantity and placement. A few well-placed tones look sun-kissed – not dyed.
Who it suits
Tones work on many hair types. More important than the type is matching them to your natural shade and cut – we clarify that beforehand.
Where it is done
Tones, highlights and bigger colour projects go through Enge, with Aveda colour and advice from our colourists.
The matching service at The Barber
We place highlights and tones subtly and in harmony – technique and quantity are clarified in the consultation in Enge. See the service.
