What to Expect From a Color Correction Appointment
Color correction is the service people are most nervous to book — usually because something already went wrong and they're worried about making it worse. I get it. So here's exactly what to expect, start to finish, so you can walk in informed.
Why it starts with a consultation
Every correction is different because we're working with whatever is already on your hair — sometimes years of box dye, sometimes a recent service that didn't land. Before I touch anything, I need to understand that history: what's been used, how often, and where you want to end up.
That's why correction always begins with a real assessment, in person or through our online consultation. It's not a formality — it's how I build a safe plan instead of guessing.
Why it sometimes takes more than one session
Hair can only be lightened so far in one day before its integrity is at risk. If you're going from a dark box dye to a bright blonde, doing it all at once is how hair breaks. A correction done properly is sometimes staged across more than one appointment so we can lift gradually and keep your hair healthy.
I'd always rather take an extra session and protect your hair than rush a result you'll regret. We talk through the timeline and pricing up front so there are no surprises.
How to prepare — and care for it after
Come with clean, dry hair and any photos of both what went wrong and what you're hoping for. Be ready for the appointment to take time; correction isn't a service to squeeze into a lunch break.
Afterward, bond-building and sulfate-free care are non-negotiable for a while — your hair has done a lot of work. We'll send you home knowing exactly how to protect the result. If you're sitting on a color you're unhappy with, the sooner you reach out, the sooner we can plan the fix.
