Corrective Colors

8/10/2021

Whether it is an at home project gone wrong or not exactly what you were looking for at the salon, we see a variety of corrective colors. Although it may seem like a simple concept originally walking into your consultation, corrective colors require a lot of communication and a lot more chemistry in order to achieve your desired look. When you schedule a corrective color at our salon we always want to know a few things:

What color is currently on your head? This means any color you have had, just because your hair is black now does not mean that the bright red you had prior isn't underneath. This is very important because your stylist needs to have a clear vision of what she is dealing with.
Have you decolorized your hair recently? Our biggest concern is to always ensure the health of your hair, if you recently lightened your hair and fail to mention, your hair could endure significant damage.
If you colored your hair at home, what did you use? Please understand we are only here to help never to judge, and if we don't know what is currently on your hair, the appointment may not go according to plan. For example, if you use a color line that contains metallic dyes and your stylist is unaware, the lightener will have an insane chemical reaction with the dye and may cause serious breakage.

After your stylist has completed your consultation and you have created a solid game plan, your appointment will begin. We always ask to have realistic expectations when coming in for a corrective color, box color can often be unpredictable and your end goal may not be achieved in the first visit. Your stylist will always do their best to achieve the color of your dreams in a timely fashion; however, if it looks like this may be a multiple appointment color, they will be sure to inform you immediately.

So there you have it! Color corrections can be scary and to ensure a smooth and successful appointment, we always ask that you stay honest and realistic throughout your appointment as we bring your hair to the color of your dreams!
