My client's toner turned her hair a weird shade of green last Thursday

I was in my chair at the salon in Riverside, and the toner grabbed way too much on her pre-lightened ends. I had to do a quick color remover and re-mix with a violet base to cancel it out. Anyone else have a toner go sideways like that?

That viral TikTok story is a perfect example of why toners can be so tricky. It's not just about the formula, but how porous the hair is from previous lightening. When ends are over-processed, they suck up too much of the wrong tone, like that green. It's a good reminder to always do a test strand, even when you're in a hurry.

That green toner story went viral on TikTok last week.

Makes me see that same rush job energy everywhere. People skip the test strand in all kinds of things, like slapping paint on a wall without checking the color in the light first, or throwing a bunch of random parts at a car repair hoping it just works. You get so focused on fixing the problem fast that you end up creating a bigger, weirder mess, just like green hair.
