How To Elevate Your Salon's Glossing Services with Redken
Published date 03 August 2026

National Gloss Week is the ultimate moment to remind your clients why they trust a professional with their hair health. This year, we are taking the standard glossing service and supercharging it. Introducing the Redken Protein Gloss Service, a premium, dual-action service that bridges the gap between colour and care. By combining the legendary pH-balanced shine of Shades EQ with the reparative power of the Acidic Concentrates Backbar System, you can now offer a Glow Up that repairs and maximises shine.
Tailored Strength, Mirror-Like Shine: The New Protocol for a Personalised Glow
Step 1: The Luminous Foundation

The journey to high-gloss hair begins with Redken Shades EQ. Whether you choose ‘Clear’ for a mirror-like glaze or a customised palette for a tonal refresh, this iconic acidic formula is more than a colour; it’s a liquid shine treatment that visibly reverses damage from the very first touch.
Step 2: The Bespoke Cleanse
Once the gloss has worked its magic in a 20-minute processing time, transition to the backbar for a tailored cleanse. Rinse thoroughly and select the Redken Shampoo specifically curated for your client’s unique hair needs.
Step 3: The Custom Power-Dose

This is where repair meets the Pro diagnosis. At the backbar, after shampooing, apply a personalised infusion of Acidic Concentrate to treat the hair from the inside out:
- For hair requiring strength, apply the Acidic Protein Concentrate to balance protein levels and fortify the hair fibre.
- To transform dry or unruly hair, apply the Acidic Moisture Concentrate to replenish essential lipids for a weightless moisture boost.
- For hair in need of protein and moisture, customise your treatment by layering both the Acidic Protein Concentrate and the Acidic Moisture Concentrate onto the hair.
- After a 5-minute development time, complete the infusion with the Acidic pH Sealer before rinsing and conditioning. This essential step shrink-wraps the cuticle, sealing the concentrates deep within the hair for lasting transformation.
Step 4: The Protective Veil

Before the heat meets the hair, apply the Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment. This silky, protective veil provides 230° heat defence while continuing to reinforce weakened bonds, ensuring the hair remains as strong as it is beautiful.
