What It Is

Looking for Shades EQ Bonder Inside? Shop here.
What It Does
• Use to enhance, enrich, change, match, tone down or intensify natural or color-treated hair
• Tone pre-lightened or highlighted hair
• Refresh and renew faded mid-shaft and ends
• Restore color to highlights
• Correct uneven, brassy, or overly vibrant colors
What Else You Need to Know
Exclusive to Redken:
Why settle for less than number 1?
• Shades EQ is the #1 Acidic Demi Permanent Haircolor in the United States
Shades EQ is the healthiest way to tone!
• It is best to use an acidic demi permanent color after lightening hair as it offers gentle processing for outstanding condition and shine!
• With Shades EQ, there is no need to worry about banding or harsh regrowth as acidic color does not lift.
Shades EQ provides the industry's best true violet acidic toner!
• The best-selling 09V is every stylist's must-have.
How To
• Mix in a 1:1 ratio with Shades EQ Processing Solution
• Shades EQ Gloss may be applied with a bowl and brush or bottle and may be diluted with Crystal Clear to lessen intensity or customize any shade
• Process at room temperature for 20 minutes, up to 40 minutes for gray hair
• For resistant hair, process for 15 minutes with plastic cap under pre-heated warm dryer. Remove cap and cool for 5 minutes
• For resistant gray hair, process 20 minutes with plastic cap under pre-heated warm dryer. Remove cap and process for additional 20 minutes at room temperature
• Follow with Color Extend Shampoo and Conditioner
PRO TIPS:
• Shades EQ is the perfect choice for enhancing, enriching, toning down or intensifying natural or color-treated hair! Use to refresh and renew faded color at the mid-shaft and ends (zones 2 and 3) while processing permanent color at the regrowth (zone 1).
• Shades EQ is great for blending gray hair without lifting the hair's natural pigment. It can also be used to correct uneven, brassy or overly vibrant tones.

Ash Gold with bonder inside
I used the the new ash gold 10AG, 9AG & 7AG with bonder. Loved how it turned out! Beautiful color. Not too much ash to make it look dull. The gold helps give it a brighter boost!

Shade EQ is a hair stylist’s best friend.
Shade Eq is a translucent, versatile product with multiple applications. I have used this as a toner to balance color, as a color refresher, and as a shine treatment. It is a salon must have.

They won't ship to Kentucky
I am a licensed cosmetologist that recently moved to Kentucky. I've tried ordering Shades EQ 3 times now and they will not ship it to me here. What gives? Just because there isn't a SalonCentric near me, doesn't mean I should give up on my favorite products through online shopping. I'm so disappointed in SalonCentric for this.

Shades EQ is superior.
Shades EQ is absolutely superior to all other Toners I have ever used in my 6 year career as a hairstylist. I have recently discovered them about a year ago and have been using them ever since. I will never go back now, I don't know how I have gone so long without them.

Funny they wanted a review.
Never received it... So, I can't rate it, other than being a less than 1 for not receiving it. Seems to happen a lot with my Salon Centric orders. Normally I ignore these "please review" emails, but this is about the 5th time I've never received the order... and they ask for a review... so, here it is.

shades is my favorite!
I have very fine hair, and so do a lot of my guests. I can use Redken Shades for toners, but I also use it as an all over hair color on a large percentage of my guests because the integrity of their hair is so awesome, and when used as an all over color, also leaves their hair in a natural looking state instead of a less natural cover-up look. Especially for older clientele that are not ready to go natural, this is great way to keep vibrancy in the hair and also add awesome shine and condition! Thank you for the bonder!

Not impressed….
Not sure what happened… maybe a bad batch? But it washed out completely within three shampoos (didn’t wash hair for first 3 days) I used color safe professional grade hair care, and no heat styling.

BEST GLOSS
As far as liquid Demi goes, I’ve used everything under the sun considered liquid gloss: oligo, Schwarzkopf, Paul Mitchell, joico, pravana but I’ve always come back to Shades Eq for my liquid gloss, it works best, it has the best shade selection and it never fails me.
