WHAT IS CORRECTIVE COlOR?
Chances are that you have heard the phrase “color correction” or “corrective color,” but what is it exactly? In general, a color correction is a specialized hair coloring technique performed by professionals used to rectify undesirable hair color results or attain a desired hair color that may be challenging to achieve. Whether you had a hair color experience gone wrong, used box dye at home, or want a drastic change in your color, our stylists may use the phrase color correction.
Color Correction Process
Corrective color is not a one size fits all solution. It is a process that demands skill, experience, and meticulous attention to detail. During a color correction consultation at our hair salon, our stylists will assess your hair's condition, discuss your desired look, and craft a plan tailored to your unique hair needs.
Depending on the complexity of the color correction required, the process may entail a variety of techniques, including color removal, blending, or even cutting. Our stylists employ advanced corrective color methods and premium hair care products to achieve seamless, natural-looking results while safeguarding your hair's health and vitality.
Common Corrective Color Scenarios
Box Color: At-home box color is not formulated the same as professional hair color. Oftentimes, box color contains PPD (a known irritant and allergy), metals, and a higher concentration of chemicals due to the “one size fits all” nature of box dye. The chemicals and metals in box color make highlighting through it harder, which could lead to undesired results. Lifting through box color can take multiple sessions in the salon to maintain integrity and health of the hair.
Uneven Color: Uneven coloration can arise from DIY color applications or inexperienced colorists. Corrective color techniques can seamlessly blend irregular patches or banding and create a uniform, harmonious hair color.
Drastic Color Change: Sometimes, a correction color appointment can be booked because a client wants a drastic color change, like natural brown to platinum blonde, platinum blonde back to brown, or even fantasy colors. These color projects take more time than an average color application, which is why a consultation is so important.
