Diana Vivi brings more than 25 years of professional hair experience to ViviD by DV and teaches colour methodology internationally through Blend Academy. The salon has a 4.8-star rating from more than 2,300 Google reviews.
Colour Correction for Uneven or Unwanted Hair Colour
Colour correction addresses colour concerns that require more than a routine colour appointment. The appropriate service depends on the existing colour, previous applications, hair condition, and the result being considered.
Uneven Colour and Visible Banding
Previous colour applications can leave different sections of hair with visibly different tones or levels of lightness. Corrective work may help create a more balanced result, depending on the colour history and hair condition.
Unwanted Warm or Cool Tones
Hair colour can develop unwanted orange, yellow, red, or overly cool tones. The stylist assesses the underlying pigment and determines whether toning, colour adjustment, lightening, or another approach is suitable.
Results From Previous Colour Services
If the current colour differs from the expected result, an assessment can help identify possible causes and discuss next steps. Previous applications, overlapping colour, and at-home treatments may affect the corrective process.
Planning a Significant Colour Change
Moving from a dark colour to a lighter result, changing an existing colour, or correcting multiple previous applications may require a staged approach. The stylist will discuss realistic options and whether more than one session may be necessary.
Colour Correction Pricing and Consultation Requirements
Colour correction requires an assessment before the service plan and final price can be confirmed.
Colour Correction Service — Starting at $650+
Colour Correction starts at $650+. The final price depends on hair history, current colour, hair condition, complexity, and the corrective work required.
A $300 non-refundable deposit is required for the Colour Correction service itself. A signed Colour Correction waiver is required before the service begins.
Colour Correction Consultation — $100 (non-refundable deposit)
The $100 Colour Correction Consultation includes a strand test on two sections to assess lift, hair integrity, and potential chemical reactions. The test is required for anyone with box dye, black dye, or other artificial colour who wants to go lighter. This consultation is separate from the regular $25 Colour Consultation.
The consultation allows the stylist to review existing colour, previous colour services, hair condition, and the desired outcome before recommending a corrective plan.
Clients should share their colour history as accurately as possible, including at-home colour or lightening products. This information helps the stylist assess the starting point and discuss realistic options.
A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve the consultation.
Required Bond-Building Treatment — $50
A bond-building treatment costing $50 is required with all chemical services and is added to the service total.
The stylist will explain the planned service and associated costs before the appointment proceeds.
How the Colour Correction Process Works
1. Review Hair and Colour History
The stylist discusses current colour, previous salon services, at-home colour use, chemical treatments, and the desired outcome. Sharing relevant details helps establish an accurate starting point.
2. Assess Hair Condition and Desired Result
The stylist evaluates the condition of the hair and the difference between the current colour and the target result. The two-section strand test included in your consultation shows how your hair responds to lightening and whether a correction can be done safely.
3. Discuss the Corrective Plan
The recommended approach, expected limitations, possible appointment requirements, and relevant costs are discussed before proceeding. The plan depends on the individual hair and colour history.
4. Plan Aftercare and Future Appointments
After the corrective service, the stylist can discuss suitable aftercare and maintenance based on the colour achieved and the hair’s needs. Future appointments depend on the desired result and how the colour develops over time.
Colour Correction and Other Colour Services
Colour correction may require a different approach from routine colour services. Depending on the starting point and goals, the stylist may discuss whether a separate or subsequent service is appropriate.
- Balayage: Explore balayage for a dimensional, blended colour effect. The stylist can assess whether corrective work should take place before pursuing a new balayage result.
- Hair Treatments: Discuss suitable treatments based on hair condition and the colour-service plan.
- Haircuts & Styling: Explore haircut and styling services if you would like to update your shape alongside your colour plan.
Not every service should be combined in one appointment. The stylist will advise on the appropriate sequence after assessing the hair.
