What does a Colour Correction service involve?

Colour correction services involve restoring tonal balance, adjusting previous dye jobs, or achieving major colour transformations. Our process typically includes bleach application, full colour work, bond protection, deep conditioning treatments, and a precision cut to complete the transformation.

Do I need a consultation before booking?

Yes. All correction services require an in-person consultation to assess your hair’s current condition, understand your goals, and map out the safest and most effective treatment pathway.

Is bond protection included?

Yes. Cureplex bond protection is a mandatory part of all correction services and is factored into the total service cost to ensure hair health is preserved during processing.

Does colour correction always mean fixing a mistake?

No. While colour correction can address past damage or uneven results, it also supports clients seeking a change of direction — such as tonal refinement, vibrancy adjustments, or dramatic new colour goals.

How long does a Colour Correction service take?

Depending on your hair length, condition, and the complexity of the work required, a colour correction appointment can range from 3 to 6 hours. Your stylist will provide a clear time estimate during your consultation.

Corrective colour planning for hair that needs adjustment, repair, or a safer next step

Also known as: colour fix, colour repair, colour redo, blonde correction, banding fix, box-dye correction.

Colour correction is for hair that needs technical reassessment before the target result can be pursued safely and realistically. Whether you're managing unexpected results, refining colour that no longer suits your taste, or undoing complex layering from past applications, our correction services are designed to assess the current canvas, determine options for your consideration, explain the realistic pathway, and protect hair integrity while moving toward your intended result.

Not all consultations will resolve in a colour correction service. We may discover that we can pivot to service that may not require a total reset of your base canvass. We prefer to exhaust all other options if possible to save your time, money and hair health where possible.
