Color correction, done safely.
For previously colored hair that didn’t turn out the way you hoped. Box-color rebuilds. Brassiness resets. Bleed-through fixes. Always staged, always consultation-first.
Correction isn't a service. It's a rescue.
Color correction is the most complex service in any salon. It’s not “color but harder” — it’s a completely different category of work that requires reading what’s already happened to the hair, planning a multi-stage lift, and managing the chemistry around damage that’s already been done.
That’s why we never book corrections without a 30-minute in-person consultation first. Photos lie. Phone descriptions lie. Even your best memory of what was applied to your hair last year usually lies. We need to see your hair under salon lighting, do strand tests, ask twenty questions, and design a real plan.
Sometimes the plan is one session. Sometimes it’s three sessions over two months. Sometimes — honestly — we recommend waiting for hair to grow and cutting the old color off rather than chemically correcting it. The right answer depends entirely on what we see at consultation.
Three correction scenarios.
These are the most common reasons clients book correction. Every quote is custom — these are starting ranges only.

How a gloss actually works.
A quick, gentle, three-step refresh that fits between your bigger color appointments.
Tone Match
We read your current tone and what’s faded or gone brassy, then mix a gloss or toner formula to your exact goal — and log it for next time.
Apply & Process
The gloss is applied and processed for a few minutes, depositing tone and sealing the cuticle. No lift, no damage — just refreshed color.
Rinse & Shine
We rinse and style, and you leave with cleaner tone and glass-like shine — plus a tip or two to keep it looking fresh at home.
Gloss questions.
Real answers from our colorists. If your question isn’t here, ask at your appointment — we’d rather over-explain than under-deliver.
The terms are often used interchangeably. A toner neutralizes and corrects unwanted tone — like brass or yellow in blondes — while a gloss adds tone and high shine, and can be clear or tinted.
Both are deposit-only, demi-permanent treatments that refresh color and seal the cuticle without lifting or damaging the hair.
Most glosses and toners last about 4 to 6 weeks and fade gradually, so there’s no harsh regrowth line. How long yours lasts depends on how often you wash, your water, and your home products.
A gloss between full-color visits is a great way to stretch your appointments.
A gloss deposits tone and shine — it doesn’t lift or lighten. A clear gloss adds shine with no change to your color.
A tinted gloss or toner can subtly shift or refresh your tone, cancel brass, or deepen richness, but it won’t make you lighter.
Yes. A gloss or toner can be a quick standalone service or an add-on to a color or cut. Many guests book one between full-color appointments to refresh tone and shine and keep their color looking freshly done.
Gloss and toner services start at $45. Final pricing depends on hair length, density, and the artist working with you, and is confirmed at your appointment.
It’s often added to another color or cut service.
No — a gloss or toner is one of the gentlest services we offer. It’s deposit-only with no lift, so it doesn’t compromise the hair.
In fact, glossing seals the cuticle and most guests leave with hair that looks and feels healthier and shinier.
Every 4 to 6 weeks is ideal if you want to keep your tone clean and your shine high between full-color appointments. Blondes especially benefit from a regular toning gloss to stay bright and avoid brass.
Yes — a toning gloss is the go-to fix for brass, yellow, or warmth that’s crept into your color. It neutralizes those tones and refreshes your shade.
If your hair needs a bigger reset than tone, that’s color correction, and we’ll let you know at your consultation.
