Fixing Hair Colour Disasters and Patchy Tones
Had a salon visit go wrong? Don't stress. I specialize in fixing uneven, brassy, or damaged colour jobs. Let's get your hair back to health and a shade you actually love.
This client came to me with a hair colour blunder. It was orange and yellow in the front and a different colour at the bottom. We corrected it to this beautiful, even mahogany brown.
This client wanted to be blonde again but her hair had grown out, leaving it dull and yellowy. We did a full correction to a beautiful platinum blonde, eliminating all the brassy tones.
This client's hair was previously bleached and had become brassy. We corrected the tone to these iconic warm mahogany browns, creating a seamless blend from the darker roots to the lighter ends.
This client's hair was dry and yellow from scuba diving and travel. We refreshed her highlights, toned out the yellow for a cool, ashy blonde, and added a deep conditioning treatment to restore softness and shine.
This client's hair was frizzy, dry, and had multiple tones. We corrected the colour to a beautiful cool blonde balayage that looks professional and chic, all while improving the hair's condition.
From brassy blonde to a sophisticated chocolate red. This colour correction completely transformed the tone and health of the hair.
This is a great example of a colour correction. We took this client's hair from yellow and brassy to a deep, rich brown, completely changing the vibe and restoring a healthy look.
This client came in with five different colours in her hair: white, black, copper, brown, and blonde. I accepted the challenge and transformed it into this seamless light caramel blonde balayage.
From coppery and brassy hair to a cool and modern ash and matt brown. This colour correction completely neutralized the unwanted warm tones.
About Fixing Hair Disasters: My Colour Correction Expertise
Correction isn't about slapping a new colour over the old one. If you have patchy spots or brassy orange tones, we need to neutralize them first to stop the damage from spreading. My process always starts with assessing what your hair can handle, not just what it looks like today. If your hair is brittle from previous chemical jobs, we will prioritize structure and health before we even touch the colour.
The Reality of Colour 'Oops' Moments
I have seen it all. From box-dye experiments gone wrong to salon visits that left hair with five different colours, there is usually a way to fix it. But here is the truth: you cannot rush a correction. If your hair is orange, yellow, or patchy, bleaching it again is often the worst thing you can do. My goal is to neutralize the unwanted tones without pushing your hair past its breaking point.
My Approach to Fixes
- Neutralization First: Before we change the colour, we have to fix the tone. I use professional toners and low-volume developers to cancel out brassiness without adding more damage.
- Depth and Dimension: If your hair has become flat and monotone due to bad processing, I use colour placement techniques to bring back movement. It is about creating shadows and lights that look natural.
- Health-First Guarantee: I do not believe in temporary shine. If your hair needs a break, I will tell you. Sometimes the best correction involves a targeted treatment to restore the cuticle, followed by a gentle colour refresh.
What Happens During Your Session
When you come to see me, we start with a consultation. We look at the base colour, the porosity, and where the previous work failed. Whether you are dealing with 'scuba hair' that has turned yellow, or just a colour that never quite matched your skin tone, I will walk you through exactly what we can achieve. My job is to see your hair through my eyes, manage your expectations, and give you a look that grows out beautifully over the next six to eight months. Perfect hai?
