Which Ônix Liss B.TOX mask should you choose?

Ônix Liss B.TOXWhich one to chooseFour masksFor the chair

Choose by what is on the tub. One of the four carries a violet pigment: the Matizador, which the tub says is for blonde hair. One prints a pause time: the Premium. The Nano ReducSystem and the Bio Performance list the same ingredients, in a different order.

The Premium is the Bio Performance plus tocopheryl acetate, with a pause time of 20 to 30 minutes printed on the tub, which is what you want when you are working to the clock. Below is the quick table, then each tub in turn: what the label says and what we recommend.

Which Ônix Liss B.TOX should you choose?

One question decides it: is there a yellow cast in blonde hair to deal with? If there is, the Matizador is the tub you want, because it is the only one of the four carrying a violet pigment. If there is not, you choose between the other three on what the label says, and we recommend starting with the Bio Performance.

Mask Choose it for What the label says
Nano ReducSystem A salon that already works with this tub ARGAN OIL, COCONUT OIL, D-PANTENOL on the front; the same ingredients as the Bio Performance, in a different order; no pigment
Bio Performance Your first tub, if you pick one (our advice) ARGAN OIL, COCONUT OIL, D-PANTENOL on the front; the Premium's ingredient list without tocopheryl acetate; no pigment
Bio Performance Premium A fixed pause time for the whole team Pause time on the tub: 20 to 30 minutes. The only one of the four carrying tocopheryl acetate
Matizador Blonde hair with a yellow cast Acid Violet 43 on the ingredient list; the tub names blonde hair and neutralising unwanted yellow tones
The rule of thumb
Pigment or no pigment. That single question splits the four in two, and everything after it comes down to what else the label says and how you like to time your column. It is the same way of reading a tub we use in the B.TOX explainer.

Which tub for which client?

Four tubs, each with what the label says and what we do with it.

Ônix Liss B.TOX Nano ReducSystem, the tub with the orange print

The front carries ARGAN OIL, COCONUT OIL and D-PANTENOL. The ingredient list holds the same ingredients as the Bio Performance, in a different order, and no pigment. The method on the tub: wash with an anti-residue shampoo, apply strand by strand along the length, and after the pause time give the hair a light rinse. On the label, choosing this tub is choosing what the Bio Performance holds; we leave the choice between the two to what your clients already know.

Nano ReducSystem 1000 g

Ônix Liss B.TOX Bio Performance, the tub we start with

White tub, dark-red front panel, and ARGAN OIL, COCONUT OIL and D-PANTENOL on the front. The ingredient list is the Premium's without tocopheryl acetate, and there is no pigment on it. The method on the tub: wash with an anti-residue shampoo, apply strand by strand along the length, and after the pause time give the hair a light rinse. If you only keep one Ônix Liss tub on the shelf, we recommend this one.

Bio Performance 1000 g

Ônix Liss B.TOX Bio Performance Premium, when you are working to the clock

Black tub with a gold front panel. The ingredient list is the Bio Performance's plus tocopheryl acetate, the only one of the four carrying it. And the tub prints a pause time, 20 to 30 minutes, so the processing time is settled before you start rather than judged by eye. According to the tub, you wash first with a cleansing shampoo, apply strand by strand from roots to ends, rinse with warm water after the pause time and then comb and brush in very fine sections. Choose it when you are running appointments back to back, or when you want a house standard your whole team follows the same way.

Bio Performance Premium 1000 g

Ônix Liss B.TOX Matizador, for blonde hair

The Matizador is the neutralising tub of the four, and the only one with a violet pigment on the ingredient list: Acid Violet 43. The tub says it is for blonde hair and neutralises unwanted yellow tones. Violet sits opposite yellow on the colour wheel, which is why it is what the trade reaches for against a brassy cast.

Its list also carries hydrolyzed keratin, which the other three do not. Use it on blonde hair with a yellow cast: that is what the tub names it for, and what we recommend it for.

How to get the best result

Three things separate a good result from a very good one, and none of them is the tub you picked.

Start on clean hair
All four tubs start with a wash: three with an anti-residue shampoo, the Premium with a cleansing shampoo. Where your water is hard, or the client has been using a lot of silicone-heavy styling, we recommend a chelating step before the treatment.
Work to a timing you trust
The Premium prints 20 to 30 minutes on the pack, which is the easiest way to keep a team consistent. With the other tubs, set your own house protocol and hold everyone to it, so the result a client gets does not depend on who is on the floor that day.
Send the right home care out
We recommend a gentle shampoo and a heat protectant for home. Book the rebook before she leaves.

Is the Trio worth it over a single tub?

Our advice: if you run several Ônix Liss tubs in the same week, look at the Trio on the Ônix Liss brand page. If your book leans heavily towards one tub, single tubs are the better buy and your stock turns faster.

In short: the Matizador for a yellow cast in blonde hair, the Premium when you want a pause time printed on the tub, and the Bio Performance or the Nano ReducSystem for the rest, with the same ingredients on the list. We start with the Bio Performance and add the Matizador as soon as there are blondes on the books.

Frequently asked questions

Which Ônix Liss B.TOX should I buy first?
The Bio Performance, in our advice. There is no pigment on its list, and it is the Premium's formula without tocopheryl acetate. Add the Matizador second, as soon as you have blonde hair with a yellow cast on the books.
What is the difference between the standard tub and the Premium?
The Premium prints its own pause time, 20 to 30 minutes, on the pack, which makes it the easier one to work with when you are running appointments back to back. It also carries tocopheryl acetate, which the standard Bio Performance does not. Otherwise the two tubs list the same ingredients.
Can I use the Matizador on hair that is not blonde?
The tub names blonde hair, and that is what we recommend it for: violet pigment works against a yellow cast. For other hair colours we use the Bio Performance, without pigment.
