At Terence Paul Hairdressing Salons, we specialise in hair colour correction, transforming those mishaps into gorgeous, confidence-boosting results.

Here’s everything you need to know about the colour-correcting process and how we can help you turn your hair colour disaster into a look you’ll love - just take a look at these gorgeous hair colours we've created.

Understanding Hair Colour Correcting

Hair colour correcting is a specialised process that addresses issues such as uneven tones, unwanted hues, and over-processed hair. Whether you’re dealing with brassy blondes, patchy highlights, or a colour that just didn’t turn out as planned, colour correction is all about restoring balance and achieving the perfect shade for your hair.

This process is more complex than a standard colour treatment, as it often involves multiple steps to neutralise unwanted tones and rebuild the hair’s natural vibrancy. Our experienced colourists are trained in the latest techniques and use high-quality products to ensure the best possible outcome, no matter how challenging the correction may be.

Common Hair Colour Catastrophes We Correct

Brassiness & Unwanted Warm Tones - One of the most common colour mishaps is brassiness, which often occurs when blonde hair turns an unwanted yellow, orange, or red hue. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including incorrect colour application, sun exposure, or the natural fading of cool tones. Our colour correction process involves using toners and carefully selected colour formulas to neutralise these warm tones, bringing your hair back to a cool, ashy blonde or a more natural, balanced shade.

Uneven Colour & Patchy Highlights - Another frequent issue we encounter is uneven colour distribution or patchy highlights, which can result from improper application techniques. Whether it’s a case of overlapping colour, missed sections, or streaky highlights, we can correct these inconsistencies by carefully blending and balancing the shades. Our goal is to create a seamless, harmonious look that enhances your natural beauty.

Overly Dark or Light Results - Sometimes, the final colour result is simply not what you expected—whether it’s too dark, too light, or just the wrong shade altogether. Our colourists can work with you to adjust the tone and depth, bringing your hair closer to the shade you originally desired. This might involve lightening dark colours, deepening overly light hues, or adding subtle tones to achieve a more natural, flattering result.

Faded or Washed-Out Colour - If your hair colour has faded unevenly or looks washed out, colour correction can restore its vibrancy and richness. We can refresh your colour, adding depth and dimension where it’s needed, and ensuring that your hair looks healthy and radiant once again.

The Colour Correction Process

The first step in any successful colour correction is a thorough consultation. Our expert colourists will assess the current state of your hair, discuss your colour history, and understand your desired outcome. From there, we’ll develop a customised plan to address the specific issues at hand.

Depending on the complexity of the correction needed, the process may involve:

Stripping or Lightening the Existing Colour - If your hair is too dark or has an unwanted hue, we may need to strip or lighten the existing colour before applying a new shade. This is done carefully to minimise damage and maintain the integrity of your hair.

Toning to Neutralise Unwanted Hues - Toners are used to neutralise brassiness, correct uneven tones, and add the desired cool or warm tones back into the hair.

Reapplying or Blending Colour - Once the hair is prepped, we’ll reapply or blend colour to achieve a more even, natural look. This step requires precision and expertise to ensure a seamless result.

Deep Conditioning Treatments - Colour correction can be tough on your hair, so we’ll include nourishing treatments to restore moisture, strength, and shine. This helps ensure that your hair not only looks good but feels healthy, too.

Post-Correction Care

After your colour correction, it’s important to maintain your new shade with the right aftercare. We’ll recommend professional-grade shampoos, conditioners, and treatments to keep your colour looking fresh and vibrant. Regular touch-ups and conditioning treatments will also help prolong the results and keep your hair in top condition.
