ADVANCED TONING

Toning is more than the final step, it’s the crucial step that defines your work. In this hands-on, theory-backed session, Jaime Marie shares her personal toning systems for refined, dimensional, and long-lasting results.

This half-day class is designed for stylists who want to go beyond basic glossing and into zone toning, layering, pigment control, and corrective toning strategies that actually work. You’ll gain deeper insight into toning with intention, and how to use toners as your support for both corrective work and premium client results.
