Colour correction
What is Colour Correction?
Whether you want to give a fresh lift to your mane or want to alter your image radically, it’s exciting changing your hair colour. But sometimes, excitement can become an embarrassment if it all goes wrong. Colour correction can cancel out and neutralise uneven pigments in your skin when it comes to makeup; a colour correction hair service works similarly.
What to do when you dye your hair the wrong colour
If your hair colour isn’t what you expected or hoped for, have a professional determine if you need hair colour correction service through a consultation. Explain what you originally wanted to your colourist, or show photos of how your hair colour has changed over time, and leave the decision up to your colourist. Your colourist will let you know what kind of colour correction hair service you need and provide you with some at-home treatments you can use to prevent the same hair colour mishaps in the future.

How long should I wait before colour correction?
Wait at least four weeks to achieve the strongest results after your colour catastrophe. You need to get ready for the long haul as hair correction can take several sessions, which, when added up, can sometimes be between four to eight hours in the salon.
Before correcting the tone of your hair, choosing the right colour is essential to avoid repeating the same problems. We discuss what you like about your current colour and what you don’t.
A client’s skin tone and eye colour are taken into account. If the client is already quite unhappy with their hair changing colour to something to something that will not compliment them could make them feel worse.
To make sure the shade you’ve chosen is the right one for you, we carefully assess the colour of your hair. The wrong product can cause your hair to become dry and brittle. Before fixing your colour, we may need to improve the health of your strands to achieve the best results for your colour correction.

Why do you need a professional?
Hair colour correction varies from person to person, depending on the results you’re looking to achieve. The law of colour tells us the optimum condition of the hair fibre or as close as possible to that goal. A professional consultation is very important to determine if the goals are attainable. The time needed to perform a colour-correction hair service varies due to each hair type’s specific nature and current condition. Depending on how much you want to tone or colour-correct the hair, you may require additional visits. The condition and health of the hair can also determine how long the effects of the correct hair colour are. The condition and health of the hair can also determine how long the effects of the colour corrector can last because as a semi-permanent hair colour.
In some cases, the desired result may be possible in one session; in other cases, you may need multiple sessions. A consultation is required before a colour correction. Your stylist will assess your hair and discuss the results you want to achieve. They will explain the steps needed to achieve this.
Whether trying to achieve or rock, a colour correction hair service is the key to unlocking your best hair colour. The most common reason is at-home box dying gone wrong. Sometimes a colour correction is needed in a complex situation where there is a mix of root regrowth, build-up of hair colourants and lightning from the sun or other factors. Colour corrections correct uneven hair tones and repair the colour to its desired shade. A colour correction will also bring back shine to the hair and make it look healthier. In particular, red/copper tones will require special attention as these colours are more difficult to eliminate from the hair.
We work with all hair types and can transform a client’s hair. Hair colour correction carefully applies a new shade to give you a healthier, textured mane. Toner neutralises your current colour, allowing the cuticles to take a corrected colour.
If your hair is not in good condition, we would no longer recommend lightening or darkening. So, we need to look at other options. Plus, your lifestyle would need to be considered because there is maintenance involved in a colour change. Correcting uneven hair is more complex than just dyeing your hair. That’s why we always recommend booking an appointment at your nearest salon and getting your colour corrected professionally.
