Colour Correction – safe, expert fixes in Brighton

Had a colour mishap or shade that no longer suits you? Our Colour Correction service rebuilds a clean, balanced result while protecting hair health.

What we can fix

  • Brassy or unwanted tones (yellow, orange, red)
  • Uneven colour or banding from at-home dye or overlapping services
  • Too dark / too light ends or roots
  • Faded or dull colour that needs clarity and shine

How we correct it

  • Consultation & strand/porosity tests: We review your colour history, hair health and goals.
  • Plan the route: Options include colour remover, gentle lightening, re-pigmenting, toners/gloss, or adding highlights/balayage to blend.
  • Health first: We pace services to protect the cuticle, using bond care and moisture/protein where needed.
  • Toning & finish: We refine your target shade and finish with a professional blow-dry so you can see the true result.

Timing & investment

  • Simple corrections may take 2–3 hours; complex work can require several sessions. We will outline stages, pricing and home care before we begin.

Aftercare

  • Use sulphate-free shampoo, colour-care conditioner and heat protection.
  • Book gloss/toner every 6–8 weeks and treatments every 4–6 weeks to keep tone and strength.

New to us? Please book a consultation and patch test at least 48 hours before correction work so we can test and plan safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this be fixed in one visit?
Sometimes, but complex cases often need staged appointments to protect hair health and reach your goal safely.
Is colour remover the same as bleach?
No. Removers shrink artificial dye molecules. We may still need lightening afterwards, depending on your target shade.
Can you correct box-dye black or uneven home balayage?
Yes, with a plan that may include multiple sessions, bond care and careful toning to avoid further damage.
How will you protect my hair?
We use bond-building and moisture/protein treatments, lower volumes, careful timing and strand tests before each step.
What maintenance will I need?
Expect toner/gloss every 6–8 weeks, nourishing masks weekly, and minimal heat to keep colour true and hair strong.
