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. ## What's Included Your appointment includes: - In-depth consultation and personalised shade planning. - Hair and scalp assessment, with strand and porosity tests where needed. - Targeted prep to remove product and mineral build-up. - Gentle pigment removal or controlled lightening, as appropriate. - Foiling, colour melting or global application to rebalance tone and depth. - Bond-building and strengthening treatments to protect the hair. - Precision toning and gloss for a polished, refined finish. - Dry and finish to check blend and adjust tone if required. - Personal aftercare advice and a tailored maintenance plan. ### 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.

It is a corrective colour service used to fix unwanted tones, patchy results or build-up from previous dyes. Your colourist assesses your hair history and creates safe, staged steps to reach an even, flattering shade. How long will colour correction take? Timing depends on your starting point, hair condition and target shade. Many corrections take several hours, and some need more than one visit to protect hair health and ensure a predictable result. Can you fix box-dye or banding? Yes, but it often requires a staged approach. We may remove or lighten pigment in specific areas, then rebalance with targeted colour and toning for a seamless blend. Will my hair be damaged? Your hair's condition comes first. We use gentle techniques and strengthening treatments, and we will not push beyond what your hair can safely handle. How should I prepare for my appointment? Bring inspiration photos and a brief colour history, including any home dyes. Arrive with dry hair and minimal styling products so your colourist can assess tone and condition accurately.
