Color Corrections 101: How Volume Salons Fixes Common Hair Color Mishaps

At Volume Salons, we believe that every strand counts. Our professionals are passionate about hair care and strive to bring out the best in every client who walks through our doors. We’re particularly known for our top-tier color services, from personalizing unique shades to expert color corrections. In this article, we’re taking you behind the salon chair to demystify the process of color correction and how our team of seasoned stylists rectify common hair color mishaps.


Understanding Hair Color Correction


Color correction is the process of fixing an unsuccessful hair color outcome, whether it was a DIY attempt gone wrong or a disappointing result from another salon. It entails neutralizing unwanted hues, balancing tones, and restoring vibrancy to your hair. At Volume Salons, our stylists are skilled at reversing color mishaps and delivering a satisfactory result that recovers your flaunted tresses. 


Common Hair Color Mistakes


Brassy Tones


Brassy tones are one of the most common hair color mistakes, typically appearing as an unwanted orange or yellow hue in your hair. This can occur when the color treatment was not left on for long enough, or the developer used was not strong enough to lift the underlying pigments. At Volume Salons, we use toners to neutralize these unwanted hues, restoring a flattering, balanced hair color. 


Overly Dark Tints


Another frequent mishap is a dye job that’s turned out too dark. This can be due to an excess of pigment deposited into the hair shaft during the coloring process. To correct this, our stylists use gentle color removers or lighteners to break up the excess dark pigment and restore your hair to a more desirable shade. 


Patchy Color Applications


Patchy color can result from inconsistent application or the hair's uneven porosity levels. At Volume Salons, we first balance out the color using either a color additive or filler, then reapply the desired color uniformly, ensuring even saturation and gorgeous results.


The Color Correction Process at Volume Salons


At Volume Salons, we don’t just focus on rectifying the color – we prioritize the health and integrity of your hair throughout the process. 


Consultation


The color correction process begins with a thorough consultation. Our experts assess the condition of your hair, listen to your concerns, and understand your desired outcome. 


Creating a Plan


After the consultation, our stylist will devise a personalized treatment plan designed to achieve your desired color while ensuring your hair’s health. 


Execution


Our expert stylists then systematically execute the correction process, using top-quality Schwarzkopf products and treatments like Olaplex to protect and restore your hair’s natural bonds.


Aftercare


Once we’ve achieved your desired color, our dedicated service extends beyond the salon chair. We provide you with tailored aftercare advice and product recommendations to maintain the health and vibrancy of your corrected color.
