What a gloss treatment does
A gloss is a semi-reflective color treatment that refreshes tone and adds surface shine while smoothing the hair's appearance. At Reve, the gloss focuses on adjusting subtle tone imbalances, neutralizing brassiness or warming shadow areas, without performing a full color change. It’s ideal when you want a visible refresh without a heavy chemical lift.
Because it sits on or near the hair’s surface, a gloss can intensify existing color and improve light reflection without altering base level. Clients often report richer, more vibrant-looking color and smoother texture after the service; reviewers note consistent color vibrancy and healthy-looking results. The effect is temporary, meant to extend the life of your existing color between more intensive services.
Your appointment at South Lamar
During your appointment at our South Lamar studio the service includes consultation, gloss application to refresh tone, and a professional Blowdry and Style. The standard booking is $100 and lasts 60 MINUTES, so we design the visit to achieve noticeable shine and a polished finish within that time. Our team listens to your goals and references your color history before starting.
We see higher demand in March, April and September as clients schedule seasonal refreshes and pre-event color updates. Evening and weekend appointments are popular with after-work crowds who combine visits with dining or trips to Zilker Park and South Congress. The studio’s S Lamar location makes it convenient for drivers and CapMetro riders, helping you fit a quick, pampering color refresh into a busy Austin lifestyle.
Results and aftercare choices
After a gloss and professional blowdry most clients notice immediate shine, smoother texture, and subtly tuned tone. Reviews emphasize that stylists at Reve take time and attention to blend color and deliver a polished final look, so results often read as natural and healthy rather than overprocessed. Because the gloss does not fundamentally lift or darken the base, it pairs well with existing highlights or single-process color.
To prolong the effect, use color-safe shampoos, minimize harsh sun and chlorine exposure, and follow stylist product recommendations. Austin’s hot, humid summers and frequent afternoon storms can accelerate fading, so seasonal maintenance—especially in spring and around wedding season—helps preserve tone. If you want longer-lasting changes, discuss scheduling fuller color services with your stylist; glosses are best used as maintenance between those appointments.
