Color Correction to the Rescue

Sometimes in life, things don’t turn out the way we thought they would. Sometimes the surprises are good ones, and sometimes not so great. If you’ve fallen victim to someone pretending to be a colorist or if your at-home dye job has gone horribly wrong, you may think that you’re stuck wearing hats and scarves until it grows out. You could do that, but you don’t have to. You can rescue your hair with color correction services.

You Need to Have Patience

Color correction is usually not an instant fix. Often it is a multistep process that requires a few different appointments. We need to proceed carefully to avoid doing any further damage to your hair. Every situation is a little bit different, so you will need to have a consultation with one of our stylists to determine how best to help you. In the end, your patience will pay off with a gorgeous head of hair.

What If Your Color Is Too Light?

If your color has turned out lighter than you’d hoped, the process is a little easier. Usually, we can apply a darker color over top to even things out. This is not something you should try at home. Mixing the wrong colors or using the wrong type of dye can have disastrous results. You don’t want to make matters worse and end up needing extra steps in your color correction.

What If Your Color Is Too Dark?

Going lighter is a little more complicated. First, we will need to do a color-cleanse to remove as much of the darker color as possible. Then we can begin the process of lightening your hair. Depending on the condition of your hair and the degree of lightening needing to be done, this process could take a few visits. It’s very important to protect your hair from damage during this process.
