Have You Ever Done a Little DIY on Your Hair and Needed a Little
Colour Correction or Cut? 

Here’s All You Need to Know About the Process and How We Can Help

We’ve all been there. A little DIY hair experiment here and there—maybe a box dye,
a fun new colour idea or a 3am fringe after some wines —but sometimes it doesn’t turn out quite as expected. If you’ve ever found yourself in need of a correction, don’t worry! You’re not alone, and there’s a solution. 

Here's everything you need to know about the process of hair correction and how we can help manage your DIY hair results to get you back to the colour and cut of your dreams.

Box dye may seem like a quick and affordable solution, but it often contains harsher
chemicals that can damage your hair, leading to dryness, breakage, and dullness.
The results can be unpredictable, with uneven colour and unwanted tones, especially if your hair is already coloured or damaged. The Colour Correction is not a quick fix—it’s a process that often takes more than one session to achieve the perfect result.

Here’s what you can expect when coming in for a color correction:

Step One: Assessment of Your Hair

First, a professional stylist will assess the damage, starting by examining your hair’s current condition, colour, and overall health. We’ll talk with you about your goals, home care routine and the results you’re hoping to achieve.

Step Two: Understanding the Damage

If your hair has been over-processed, we’ll need to determine the best course of action to restore it to health, whether through conditioning treatments, gentle toning, or strategic colour application. Trust the process!

Step Three: Customized Colour Formula

Based on your hairs needs, we’ll formulate the perfect colour mix to fix any brassiness, darken light spots, lighten dark spots, or bring out your desired tone. A professional colourist has a deep understanding of how different tones and pigments work, ensuring your hair comes out just right.

Step Four: Multiple Sessions May Be Required

For extreme cases, such as over-bleaching or heavy brassiness, colour correction might require more than one session. This gradual approach prevents further damage and helps keep your hair in good condition.

Step Five: Toning and Balancing

Toning can help eliminate unwanted yellow, orange, or red tones in your hair, leaving you with a cooler, more neutral colour. Depending on your hair’s needs, this step can make all the difference, paired with the perfect homecare routine.
