Colour Correction...a come back story

​Hair Colour Correction: When Your Hair Throws a Tantrum…
Have you ever looked in the mirror after a DIY box dye or a “cheaper” salon visit and thought, uh oh… what have I DONE? Don’t worry—you’re not alone, and your hair is definitely not beyond saving. That’s where I come in: the seasoned stylist armed with the skills (and toner) to bring your colour back to life.
In all honesty? You probably should’ve come to me before the hair emergency… no judgment. (maybe just a tiny bit.)
What Is a Colour Correction?
Hair colour correction is the process of fixing a hair colour issue—whether it’s patchy, brassy, too dark, too light, uneven, or just plain wrong. It's like a makeover, but for your hair’s emotional damage
There are a few common reasons clients come to see me for a correction:
Box dye regrets -I see you hiding under that hat.
Unexpected salon results, ah yes, that ash blonde turned orange. Hot roots anyone?
Faded fashion colours that now looks like a sad rainbow
Uneven bleach jobs that left you more leopard than platinum, with a little breakage to boot
Why You Shouldn’t Try to Fix It at Home 
Everyone loves a good DIY project—however, hair colour correction is not one of them. Without proper training, and products, you could damage your hair further or make it harder to fix later. This is chemistry. If you’re not sure what undertones you’re working with—or how your hair will react—you could end up with breakage, banding, or some very unexpected shades. Your hair deserves much better than guesswork and hope. 
What to Expect During a Correction
First things first: this is a process, my favorite line is “colour correction…not colour perfection” Colour correction can take anywhere from a couple of hours to multiple sessions, depending on what we’re working with. We’ll start with a consultation (a judgement-free chat about what happened), assess the condition of your hair, and create a plan that keeps it healthy and beautiful.
We might:
Use a colour remover to strip old tint
Pre-tone or fill the hair to correct undertones
Gradually lighten or darken areas
Tone and condition like it’s our full-time job (because it is)
Patience + Professional Products 
The goal is to bring your hair back to a balanced, gorgeous shade without frying it. That’s why we often work in stages. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a good brunette blend after three rounds of bleach. I also recommend professional shampoos and conditioners at home, it makes a big difference, huge. 
Final Thoughts
Hair colour correction isn’t magic—it’s chemistry, artistry, and experience wrapped into one long appointment with snacks (bring snacks). If your colour isn’t living it's best life, come see me,  a pro who can bring it back from the brink—with less judgment and more toner.
Much. More. Toner.
