Color correctionquoted at consultation

Every correction is quoted after seeing the hair in person. Some need two visits 4–6 weeks apart to protect the hair. Affirm payment plans available.

Common fixes

  • Yellow or orange blonde that needs neutralizing
  • Stripes or banding from overlapping bleach
  • Box dye that came out black, patchy or muddy
  • Faded, uneven balayage or highlights
  • Going back to your natural color after years of lightening

How correction works

  1. Free consultation. Sasha examines the hair, does a strand test if needed, and gives you an honest plan: one visit or two, and what result is realistic.
  2. Remove or fill. Unwanted pigment is gently removed, or missing warmth is put back before lightening, so the new color holds evenly.
  3. Rebuild the color. Lightening, lowlights or a new base are placed to even everything out.
  4. Tone, treat, finish. Custom toner, bond-building treatment and a plan for keeping it right.

Please don't attempt a home fix before your consultation; it usually adds a step.

Correction questions

How much does color correction cost?

It depends on what needs fixing, so it is quoted at the free consultation once Sasha sees the hair. Simple toning fixes cost far less than a multi-step correction; you get the number before anything is booked.

Can everything be fixed in one day?

Often, but not if it would damage the hair. Sasha will tell you upfront if two sessions are safer.

What should I bring?

Photos of what you want and, if possible, what your hair looked like before the problem color.
