The Treatment

The repair starts with the truth about what your hair has been through.

Start with a consultation

Color correction is detective work before it is chemistry. Box dye over box dye, a lightening session that went too far, banding from years of different formulas: each leaves its own evidence in the hair, and the fix depends on reading it honestly. On your call she will ask for the full history, every color, every year, because the plan is only as good as the story it is built on.

Some corrections resolve in one sitting; some are staged across visits because the hair's condition sets the pace. She will tell you which yours is before anything is mixed, and she will not trade your hair's health for speed. One guest arrived with a box dye disaster and left in a single afternoon with hair that felt better than it had before; that review is on the homepage. Yours gets the same honesty about whether that is possible.

The Appointment

From the call to the chair

  1. i.

    Book the call

    Choose a consultation slot on the calendar. She asks about your hair, your history, and what you want, then quotes the service and the time it needs. The $40 hold comes off your service.

  2. ii.

    The diagnosis

    In the chair, strand tests and the full history establish what is actually on your hair and what it can take. The plan, one visit or several, is agreed before anything is mixed.

  3. iii.

    The correction

    Executed in the agreed stages: removing, filling, re-coloring, and toning as the plan requires, finished with a gloss and the schedule for whatever comes next.

Questions

About color correction

Anything not answered here gets answered on your consultation call.

Can you fix box dye?

Usually, yes. Box dye stacks pigment unevenly, so correcting it means removing or filling before re-coloring. Bring the full history to your call, every box counts, and she will tell you honestly what one visit can and cannot do.

Can a color correction really happen in one visit?

Sometimes. It depends on what is on the hair and what condition it is in. When one sitting is possible she will do it in one sitting; when it is not, she will say so before you commit, not after.

Will the correction damage my hair?

The plan is built the other way around: your hair's condition sets the pace, and the correction is staged whenever pushing further in one day would cost more than it gives.

What should I do before the appointment?

Nothing to the color, please. No more boxes, no clarifying experiments, no bleach. Come to the call with the history and arrive with your hair as it is; the diagnosis is easier when the evidence is undisturbed.

What does color correction cost?

It varies more than any other service, because the work ranges from a single toning session to a staged rebuild. Your call ends with a quoted plan, and the $40 fee is credited to it.
