Color correction
For color that came out patchy, banded, brassy, too dark or not the shade you asked for, whoever did it. A correction starts with a consultation, always, because we need to know what is in your hair before we add anything to it.
Some corrections take one long day; many are split across two or three visits. Results vary, and we tell you what to expect before we start.

Questions about this service
Can it be corrected in one visit?
Some can. Many are split across two or three visits, a few weeks apart, and we tell you before we start.
What is a strand test?
We color a small hidden section to see how your hair takes the lift and which shade it lands on, so the plan is based on your hair.
Do I need a consultation?
Yes, always. A correction without one is a guess.
