Correction begins with assessment
A bespoke technical service

A plan built around your starting point.

Hair colour correction is the careful process of changing colour that is uneven, unwanted, built up or no longer suitable.

It may involve neutralising tone, restoring depth, reducing artificial pigment, targeted lightening or a staged combination of techniques.

We begin with the hair you have—not the photograph alone. Your history, condition, length, density, routine, budget and long-term goal shape what should happen next.

There is no standard formula for colour correction—and there should never be a standard promise.

What we can address

Banding and uneven colour

Box-dye build-up

Planning a responsible route through accumulated artificial pigment.

Over-lightened hair

Restoring depth and making condition part of the destination.

A major colour change

Breaking a transformation into achievable, clearly explained stages.

Colour that no longer feels right

Finding a result that works with who you are now.

Your first appointment is the plan

Four decisions before colour.

01

Understand

We listen to the full colour history, routine and intended result.

02

Assess

We examine condition, elasticity, porosity and existing pigment.

03

Test

Patch, incompatibility and strand testing guide what is safe.

04

Plan

You leave with expectations, a route, timing and individual quotation.

Hair integrity sets the pace

The safest route may be a staged route.

Bond-building care supports the technical process, but no product makes hair indestructible.

Sometimes the best recommendation is treatment, a haircut or a pause before further lightening. We would rather give you an honest answer than sell a chemical service your hair is not ready for.

“Ash did a brilliant job rescuing my hair from bleach damage and carefully colour-correcting the results of some neglectful previous work. I honestly couldn’t be happier.”

Questions before you book

Colour correction FAQs.

Do I need a consultation?
Yes. Every new colour client starts with a detailed consultation, allergy testing and, where needed, a strand or incompatibility test.
Can correction be completed in one visit?
Sometimes, but not always. Your starting colour, condition and goal determine whether the responsible route is one appointment or a staged plan.
How much will it cost?
Colour correction is individually quoted after assessment because timing, product, density, testing and the techniques required vary considerably.
Will you judge home colour or previous salon work?
No. We need an honest history to make safe decisions, but blame is never part of the service.
