What is colour correction?
Colour correction fixes colour that did not turn out the way you wanted. It can change tone or depth or both. Common results to fix are brassy yellow or orange tones and patchy colour and stripey highlights and box dye that is too dark. It is different from a toner. A toner only adjusts tone.
When do you need colour correction?
You may need it when a simple toner cannot fix the problem.
- Brassy yellow or orange tones: From lightening that has faded or was not toned.
- Uneven or patchy colour: From old colour and regrowth.
- Stripey highlights: From earlier foil work.
- Box dye that is too dark or has changed tone: From colour done at home.
- Faded colour: From washing and sun.
Toner or colour correction?
A mild yellow tone may only need a gloss or toner. A gloss or toner starts at $55. If the colour is orange or uneven or the wrong depth it may need correction. Alex tells you which one you need at your consultation.
How colour correction works
It starts with a consultation. Alex looks at your hair and asks about your colour history including box dye and lightening and past salon work. Alex then plans the steps. Simple fixes can take one visit. Bigger changes can take more than one visit so your hair stays healthy. Alex explains the plan and the number of visits before starting.
