Masterful Color Correction

We understand the panic that sets in when a hair color goes wrong. Whether you are dealing with a botched home dye job, uneven banding, severe brassiness, or a color that simply doesn’t suit you, you are in the right hands. At Mastery of Hair, Corrective Color is not just a service—it is a specialized art and science that our master colorists have spent years perfecting.

A Strategic, Chemistry-Based Approach

Correcting hair color requires precision, advanced knowledge of color theory, and, most importantly, a deep respect for the health of your hair. We don’t just “cover up” mistakes. We strategically strip unwanted pigments, neutralize harsh tones, and rebuild your color dimension step-by-step.

What to Expect During Your Journey

The Diagnostic Consultation

We begin with an honest, thorough assessment of your hair’s current condition, porosity, and color history.

The Roadmap

Corrective color is a journey. We will map out a customized, realistic plan to achieve your target shade while maintaining—or dramatically improving—the structural integrity of your hair.

Bond-Building Protection

To ensure your hair stays strong and resilient during the lifting and depositing process, we utilize premium bond-building and deep-conditioning treatments at every step.

Corrective Color FAQ

What exactly is considered a "corrective color" service?
Corrective color is required anytime we need to significantly alter, fix, or remove previous hair color. This includes removing dark box dye to go lighter, fixing uneven banding or “hot roots” from a home dye job, neutralizing extreme brassiness, or repairing heavily overlapped and damaged highlights. Essentially, if your hair color has gone wrong or has complex layers of previous dye, it is considered a color correction.
While we can always make a significant improvement in your first session, corrective color is often a journey rather than a quick fix. Depending on the current condition of your hair and your ultimate goal, it may take two or more sessions to safely achieve the perfect result. During your consultation, we will establish realistic expectations and build a step-by-step roadmap for your hair transformation.
At Mastery of Hair, the integrity and health of your hair are our absolute top priorities. We take a slow, strategic, and chemistry-based approach to color correction. We refuse to push your hair past what it can safely handle. We also incorporate premium bond-building treatments and deep-conditioning masks throughout the entire lifting and depositing process to protect, strengthen, and rebuild your hair fibers.
Because every color correction is entirely unique, the timing can vary drastically. Stripping old pigment, neutralizing unwanted tones, and establishing a new base requires extreme precision and patience. These appointments are marathons, not sprints, and can easily take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours. We highly recommend clearing your schedule for the day so you can relax while our master colorists work their magic.
Because the process is so highly customized, it is impossible to provide a flat rate without first seeing your hair. Pricing for corrective color is typically determined by the complexity of the correction, the amount of time required, and the amount of product used. We require an in-person consultation prior to booking your correction so we can thoroughly analyze your hair, perform a strand test if necessary, and provide you with a transparent and accurate price estimate.

From Mishap to Masterpiece

Transitioning from dark box dye to blonde, fixing heavily overlapped highlights, or removing stubborn warm tones takes time and expertise. At Mastery of Hair, our goal is to give you a gorgeous, dimensional color you can be proud of, while leaving your hair softer and healthier than when you walked in.

Don’t panic, let the masters handle it. Schedule a corrective color consultation to begin your hair transformation.
