Box Dyes Gone Wrong
It can be very tempting to think you can fix your hair colour problem by sticking a box dye over the top! This is not the case and can lead to further complications.
Book in with a member of our team where our hair colour experts will assess the best tones and shades for your hair. We will identify the areas that need colour correcting in order to replenish your hair and bring it back to a beautiful condition.
Common Colour Problems
Common hair colour issues include hair that has turned brassy or yellow from an incorrect bleach application, unwanted warm tones in the hair, and hair colour that has turned out too dark.
From chunky highlights to correcting hair dye that has been left on for too long or not long enough, our expert corrective hair colouring technicians in Basingstoke have seen them all and will customise the perfect hair colour for you.
Home Balayage Disaster?
Balayage hair colour continues to dominate the hairdressing world and it's clear to see why! It offers the opportunity for beautiful, sun-kissed highlights scattered throughout your hair.
At-home balayage kits can sometimes result in a harsh band of colour which can be hard to fix so is a job best left to the professionals. We have received specialist colour training and can hand paint subtle, highlights throughout your hair exactly where you want them – something that you can not do yourself at home.
Your Corrective Colour Consultation
We know hair colour mishaps can happen. That’s why our in-depth colour correction consultations are designed to assess your hair’s current condition and create a customised plan to restore your perfect shade.
During your consultation, our experienced hairstylists will analyse your hair, discuss your desired results, and recommend the best approach, whether it’s toning, colour balancing, or a full colour transformation. We prioritise safe, effective techniques that protect the health of your hair while achieving stunning results.
Sometimes, a corrective colour may require multiple sessions to maintain hair integrity and ensure a flawless finish. Our experts guide you every step of the way, so you leave with hair that looks vibrant, even, and salon-perfect.
Solutions:
Lightening a Too-Dark Colour: We carefully lift overly dark shades to achieve your desired lighter tone, giving a soft, natural finish without harsh lines or uneven patches.
Removing Brassy Tones: Brassy or orange hues from bleaching, box dyes, or sun exposure are neutralised with precision toners for fresh, vibrant, and balanced colour.
Balancing Uneven Colour Bands: Patchy highlights or uneven colour are smoothed out to create a seamless, harmonious finish from root to tip, complementing your style and skin tone.
