Color correction is always quoted at consultation. There is no flat rate because every correction is different — the price depends on what's currently on your hair, the condition of your hair, your starting level, and how many sessions are needed to safely reach your goal.

Most corrections run anywhere from $250 to $1,200+ across one or multiple sessions. You'll get a written multi-stage plan with a firm quote before any color is mixed.

Yes, always. Color correction can never be booked blind. Your colorist needs to see and touch your hair in person, do strand tests, walk through your color history, and review photos of what happened before quoting a plan.

The consultation is 30 minutes and includes a written plan with a firm quote. If you proceed with the correction, the consultation fee is applied to your first session.

Sometimes — but rarely the dramatic ones. Going from bright blonde to natural brunette can often be done in one session because it's depositing color. Going from box-black to platinum, or removing years of color buildup, almost always requires multiple sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart to protect the integrity of the hair.

If your goal can be done in one session, we'll tell you. If it can't, we'll explain why and lay out the timeline. We will never push for a single-session result that puts your hair at risk.

Color correction is more intensive than standard color, which is exactly why we stage it. Every session uses bond builder, controlled lift, and frequent check-ins on the integrity of the hair. If your hair starts struggling mid-session, we stop — no exceptions.

Between sessions you'll get strengthening treatments to do at home. Done properly, your hair comes out the other side healthy. Done improperly, by rushing or skipping protection, this is exactly how hair breaks. The whole point of staging is to avoid that.

Most correction sessions run 4-7 hours. The first session is usually the longest because it includes the deep assessment, the lift, and a tone or fill depending on the plan. Follow-up sessions tend to be shorter — 3-5 hours.

Bring snacks, your laptop, and something to do. We'll confirm your full time block when you book each session.

Yes — most correction guests are coming from another salon or from a box dye experience that didn't go as planned. We don't judge how the hair got into the state it's in. We focus on what's on it now and how to safely get you where you want to be.

Bring as much detail as you can about what was used: salon name, product line, formula if you have it, dates of past appointments. The more we know going in, the more accurate the plan.

That's the norm, not the exception. Most corrections need 2-4 sessions over a few weeks to safely reach the goal. At the end of session one, your hair will be in a safe, presentable state — even if it's not yet at the final result.

You'll leave with a clear plan: how many more sessions, how far apart, and the cost of each. No surprises and no rushing the timeline.

Yes. If your hair isn't strong enough to safely take the correction you're asking for, we'll tell you straight. Sometimes the answer is a treatment regimen for 4-6 weeks before we touch the color. Sometimes it's a smaller correction that gets you in the right direction without compromising the hair.

We'd rather lose the appointment than break your hair. Honest answers are the whole reason guests come to us for correction in the first place.
