Colour Correction in Brighton, Your Guide to Fixing Unwanted Colour

Colour gone wrong, it happens. Box dye that looks flat, highlights that lifted too warm, ends that faded to a strange tone. Our colour correction in Brighton is a careful, professional process that brings your hair back to a shade you love while protecting its health. We work with clients across Kemptown, Brighton Marina, Hove, Rottingdean, Saltdean, Peacehaven, Shoreham and Lewes.

Signs you may need colour correction

• Brassy orange or yellow tones that keep coming back
• Patchy or uneven colour through the lengths
• Hair that is too dark or too light for your skin tone
• Old colour that has faded or discoloured after sun, sea or chlorine

If any of these sound familiar, book a friendly consultation for Colour Correction in Brighton.

What a colour corrector service can fix

• Unwanted tones. We neutralise brassiness by applying the opposite tone, then refine with a toner or gloss
• Uneven colour. We balance patchy areas so the shade looks seamless from root to tip
• Incorrect depth. If hair is too light or too dark, we adjust gradually to the right level
• Faded or discoloured hair. We restore richness and shine with the right mix of pigment and care

How our Brighton colour correction works

1. Consultation and assessment. We review your hair history, current condition and goals. A strand or sensitivity test may be carried out.
2. Plan and timeline. You get a clear route to your target shade. Complex cases are staged over several visits to protect your hair.
3. In salon correction. We may use colour removers, repigmentation, controlled lightening, targeted toners, or a richer shade through the ends.
4. Finish and polish. A gloss or toner refines the final tone and adds shine, followed by styling and an aftercare plan you can keep up at home.

Techniques we may use

• Toning and glossing. Fine tunes warmth or coolness and adds mirror like shine. See our Toner.
• Repigmentation. Puts missing underlying tones back in so the result looks natural and lasts.
• Targeted lightening. Gentle, controlled lifting where needed, often paired with face framing or micro highlights.
• Balayage blending. Softly blends hard lines and bands. Explore Highlights and Balayage.
• Bond care. We often add WellaPlex during correction to support strength and shine. Learn more about WellaPlex.

How long will it take

Simple corrections can be solved in one visit. More complex corrections, for example dark box dye to soft blonde, usually need several sessions spaced out over weeks. This protects the hair and gives you a better long term result.

Hair health first

Healthy hair holds colour better and looks more expensive. We use gentle products, controlled processing and bond support where appropriate. If your hair needs a reset we may recommend a treatment plan before or between colour visits. Your comfort and hair integrity come first.

Aftercare that keeps your colour beautiful

• Use colour safe shampoo and conditioner, rinse with lukewarm water
• Limit heat and always use a heat protectant
• Book a toner or gloss every four to six weeks to keep tone perfect
• Add a weekly mask for softness and shine
• If you swim, protect hair beforehand and cleanse gently after
