At a glance

Learn why color correction begins with an assessment, how a plan is built and why some results require more than one appointment.

01

What counts as color correction

Correction may be appropriate when color is uneven, too dark, too warm, banded or affected by previous at-home or professional services. It is not one fixed formula. The work depends on what pigments and processes are already present and how the hair responds during the appointment.

02

Bring an accurate color history

Tell Alexis about permanent color, lightener, henna, toning products and smoothing treatments used on the hair. Leaving out a previous process can change how the hair reacts. Reference photos are helpful, but the plan must prioritize the current condition and a result the hair can support.

Pricing and appointment planning

Color correction starts at $300 according to the supplied menu. Final pricing can vary based on length, density and the time and product required. Complex changes can require more than one appointment, so the first visit may focus on creating a safer, more even foundation rather than reaching the final shade immediately.

04

Protecting the result

After the service, follow the recommended wash schedule, temperature, products and heat protection. A maintenance appointment may include gloss, toner, root work or another correction step depending on the plan. Consistent home care helps preserve tone and reduce avoidable stress between visits.
