Licensed colorists who need a fast toning or color-correction step, typically at the shampoo bowl rather than as a full color service. Not intended for at-home or unsupervised consumer use, since it's mixed with a professional developer.

Toning is often the step that gets skipped when time is tight. A formula built to fully process in five minutes removes the usual excuse, making it practical to add a toning step to almost any appointment.

Mix the toner 1:1 with Matrix 10 Volume Cream Developer (for example, 90ml toner with 90ml developer). Apply quickly and evenly to towel-dried hair, typically at the shampoo bowl. Process for 2½ to 5 minutes depending on the level of tone desired, then rinse thoroughly.

The short 2-to-5-minute processing window is a real time advantage for a colorist working toning into an already-busy color service, and being ammonia-free makes it a gentler option than a full demi-permanent line for a quick tonal adjustment. Its shades are confirmed intermixable with each other, but Matrix does not clearly state whether this fast-toner line intermixes with its standard Color Sync shades, so a colorist shouldn't assume the two systems combine without checking Matrix's current technical literature.
