Colour Correction in Fairfax, VA
Box dye, banding, brass and bleach gone wrong — assessed honestly.
The work
Colour correction is the most technical work in the salon. Whether it is box dye that went darker than the picture, bands of mismatched colour down the lengths, or brass that toner alone will not fix, the answer depends entirely on what is already on your hair.
from $90
That is why correction starts with a consultation, not a booking for a specific service. We need to see the hair, hear its history and strand-test before quoting a price or a number of sessions. Anyone who quotes you a flat price sight unseen is guessing.
Sometimes the honest answer is that getting you to your goal in one appointment would wreck your hair, and the right plan is two or three visits. We would rather tell you that up front than hand you damage.
Questions
What people ask about colour correction
Can you fix box dye?
Usually, yes — but box dye deposits far more pigment than salon colour and often needs more than one session to lift evenly. Book the consultation first.
Why do I need a consultation before booking?
Because the work needed depends on your hair's colour history. A consultation lets us strand-test and give you a real price and timeline instead of a guess.
How much does colour correction cost?
It is quoted after the consultation. Simple single-process work starts at $90; multi-session corrections are priced against the plan we agree together.
