Colour correction is one of the most complex services a salon offers. It requires advanced technical knowledge, the right products, and — above all — realistic expectations. Here's what you need to know before booking.
What Is Colour Correction?
Colour correction refers to any service that involves significantly altering or fixing existing hair colour. Common scenarios include:
- Removing box dye or uneven colour
- Lifting hair that's been darkened with a box kit
- Correcting a colour that turned brassy, green, or orange
- Transitioning from a dramatic colour to a more natural shade
Why Does It Take Multiple Sessions?
Hair colour is a chemical process. Drastic changes — especially going from very dark to very light — require the hair to be lifted in stages to avoid damage. Rushing the process can result in breakage or an uneven result.
Your stylist will assess your hair's current state and map out a realistic plan. For some corrections, this may mean 2–3 appointments spread over several months.
What to Bring
Come prepared with photos of both your current hair and your desired result. The more visual references you can provide, the more accurate the consultation will be.
Be Honest About Your Hair History
Have you used box dye? Had a keratin treatment? Applied henna? All of these affect how your hair responds to colour. Being transparent with your stylist will lead to a safer and more successful outcome.
Colour correction is priced on consultation as the time and product required varies significantly. Contact us to book your colour assessment today.
