Colour correction is a precise, restorative service for when your colour has gone wrong or simply lost balance. It begins with a detailed consultation and hair assessment, followed by a safe, staged plan to remove unwanted tones, even out depth and refine the finish. Expect natural-looking colour that complements your features while protecting your hair's condition.

Who It's For
If you are dealing with brassiness, banding, harsh regrowth lines, uneven lift or a too-dark, flat result, colour correction can restore balance. It is also suitable when you want to transition shades safely or refine a previous colour to look softer and more natural.
It is ideal if you prefer elegant, understated colour with a predictable finish, and value a plan that puts hair health first. Expect a considered approach with realistic goals and long-term maintenance in mind.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Correction work often takes several hours, and complex cases may be staged over two or more visits to protect the hair. A consultation allows your colourist to map the steps and set clear expectations for each session.
Bring inspiration photos and share a brief colour history, including any home dyes or recent treatments. Timing and technique are tailored to your hair's porosity, previous colour and desired outcome. If your hair is fragile, strengthening may be prioritised before further lightening.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, lukewarm water and a weekly nourishing mask. Apply heat protection and limit high-heat styling to preserve strength and shine.
Book toner or gloss refreshes and strengthening treatments every 6 to 8 weeks, or as advised. This keeps your tone refined, reduces fade and maintains a healthy look.
Protect hair from sun, chlorine and hard water where possible. Rinse after swimming and use a gentle clarifying wash when needed to prevent dullness.
