Key Understanding

Danger Jones Artistic Toner's are progressive, which means that the longer you let them process, the deeper the tone will be. Because they are alkaline, they'll lift the hair while toning, which will eliminate any underlying warmth, unevenness, and/or banding from the lightening process. You'll want to reach for an Artistic Toner during bleaching and toning color services, as well as grey-blending techniques.

Full Application Instructions

1. In a non-metallic bowl, mix 1:2-1:3 (color:developer) with Danger Jones Deluxe Cream Developer 5 Volume (1.5%).
2. Process 5-20 minutes for progressive deposit. Shampoo and rinse thoroughly. 
   

Processing Time

Process for 10 minutes for a softer color deposit, or up to 20 minutes for a deeper color deposit. Our progressive toners give you total control.

• When should I use an Artistic Toner?
  Artistic Toners are perfect to use for a bleach and tone color service. You can also use them for certain grey blending techniques.  Reach for our Gloss Toners when you want to maintain dimension, and our Artistic Toners for all over bleach and tone services.

• Can I mix the Artistic Toner colors together to create a different tone?
  Yes, you can mix our Artistic Toner colors together to make different tones.

• Can I mix the Artistic Toners with the Gloss Toners?
  No. Our Artistic Toners have an alkaline pH and our Gloss Toners have an acidic pH. This means the two different pH’s are not compatible and can have negative results if mixed together.  Only mix Artistic Toner colors together for custom color creations.

• Are Danger Jones Artistic Toners alkaline? 
  Yes, they have an alkaline pH. This helps to create a progressive color deposit to give artists total control over the shade and depth of the end result. The alkaline pH also aids in color longevity and evening out any banding.

• What does progressive color mean?
  Progressive color means the longer you leave the color on the hair, the deeper the tone will be. For example, if you let it process for 5 minutes, it will be a lighter tone than if you let it process for 20 minutes. 

• Why do the instructions give an option of different mixing ratios?  1:2 to 1:3
  The standard mixing ratio is 1 part Artistic Toner to 2 parts 5 volume (1.5%) Deluxe Cream Developer.  If you prefer a softer color deposit, you could change the ratio to 1:3.  You’re in control. 

• Can I use a different developer and volume to mix?
  We don’t recommend it.  Our Artistic Toners were designed to be mixed with our 5 Volume (1.5%) Deluxe Cream Developer to give the best consistency, application and color deposit.  

• Do I need to shampoo the Artistic Toners out of the hair after processing?
  Yes, since the Artistic Toners are oxidative, you shampoo them out.  

• Can I apply the Artistic Toners on top of Danger Jones semi-permanent colors?
  No.  If you also use our semi-permanent colors, tone with our Artistic Toner first, shampoo, and then apply the semi-permanent color.
