Our hair color correction services are professional treatments designed to repair uneven or damaged hair color caused by box dyes or improper application. The process can neutralize brassy tones, blend patchy highlights, correct color banding, and improve overall hair appearance with targeted treatments. Because every situation is unique, our colorists tailor each correction to your hair type, color history, and desired outcome for natural-looking results.
What Is Color Correction?
Fixing color mistakes at home can often make the problem worse. Choosing hair color correction services performed by experienced professionals ensures your hair is treated safely and strategically. Our salon team takes a customized approach that prioritizes hair health to protect your hair’s integrity while working toward balanced, even color. From uneven blondes to box-dye mishaps, we guide you step by step toward your ideal look.
Why Choose Professional Color Correction?
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The length of a professional hair color correction service varies depending on the condition of your hair, the type of correction needed, and your end goal. Simple adjustments, such as toning brassiness, may be completed in a single session lasting a few hours. More complex corrections—like overlapping dyes or uneven bleach—may require multiple appointments spaced over time to protect hair health. During your consultation, we’ll assess your hair and provide a realistic timeline.
-
Many clients worry that professional hair color correction will cause additional damage, but the process is designed to improve the overall look and feel of your hair. At CM Salon & Spa, we use professional-grade products and professional techniques that help protect the hair during correction. Conditioning treatments are often incorporated to support strength and shine. While some processing is necessary, our focus is always on minimizing stress and maintaining hair health.
-
Pricing for professional hair color correction depends on the amount of work required, the techniques used, and whether multiple sessions are needed. Minor tone adjustments typically cost less than correcting years of built-up color. Because every case is different, pricing is discussed after a detailed consultation to ensure transparency before any service begins.
-
Most color issues can be corrected or significantly improved, depending on your starting point and goals. For example, correcting brassy highlights is generally more straightforward than lifting very dark box dye to a lighter shade. In some cases, color correction for hair may involve multiple steps over several visits to maintain hair health. Our colorists will create a realistic plan tailored to your situation and desired outcome.
-
Preparing properly helps ensure the best results from your professional hair color correction appointment. Arrive with clean, product-free hair so color can process evenly, and avoid applying box dye or toners at home beforehand. Limiting heat styling in the days leading up to your visit can also help keep hair in optimal condition. Reference photos are encouraged to help communicate your goals clearly during the consultation.
