Our nine strong team in Worth, Crawley, uses careful consultation, strand testing and multi-step techniques to achieve natural results while protecting your hair's condition throughout. ## What colour correction involves Every correction begins with a **detailed consultation and hair history review**. We need to understand previous colours, bleaching, home dyes and treatments so we can assess your hair's condition, clarify your goal shade and set realistic expectations. The service typically combines several techniques in one appointment: - **Toning** to neutralise unwanted warmth, brassiness or overly cool hues using colour-wheel theory - **Gentle lightening or colour removal** to lift overly dark or stained colour - **Lowlighting or recolouring** to add depth and dimension where needed - **Colour balancing** to even out patchy areas, bands or obvious demarcation lines - **Bond-building treatments** incorporated throughout to minimise damage and maintain elasticity Depending on your starting point, we may need to darken over-lightened hair, gradually lift very dark colour, or plan a staged approach over multiple sessions to preserve hair integrity. Very complex changes, such as moving from black box dye to cool blonde, often pass through transitional shades first to keep your hair as healthy as possible. ## Who this service suits Colour correction is ideal if you are dealing with **uneven or patchy colour**, obvious root bands, brassy yellow or orange tones in blonde hair, overly ashy or dull shades, or strong fading that looks far from your goal. Common reasons for booking include home dye mishaps, overlapping colours from multiple treatments, or simply colour that no longer suits you. Be prepared to **invest time and budget**. Most corrections take around 150 minutes for moderate complexity, though very involved cases may need a full day or follow-up sessions spaced weeks apart. Pricing reflects the expertise, multiple products and time required, starting from £230. We always prioritise **hair health over speed**. If your hair is very fragile, we may recommend less aggressive goals or a multi-visit plan to avoid breakage. The aim is a more even, intentional and flattering colour you can maintain comfortably. ## Preparing for your appointment Come to your appointment with **clean but not freshly washed hair**, ideally a day or two after your last wash so natural oils protect your scalp. Avoid box dyes or strong home treatments in the weeks leading up to your booking. Bring **clear reference photos** of both what you like and what you want to avoid. This helps us understand your taste in tone, depth and contrast. Be honest during consultation about every product and process your hair has been through, including henna, metallic dyes or bleach, so we can plan safely. Understand that correction is **highly individual**. The same formula behaves differently depending on hair history and condition, so results and timing vary. If you have an important event coming up, book well in advance to allow time for any refinement sessions. ## Aftercare and maintenance After correction, your hair will need **gentle, colour-safe care**. Use sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner, wash less frequently, and avoid very hot water to reduce fade and dryness. Expect some sensitivity or dryness initially, especially after strong colour work, so plan for regular deep conditioning masks and in-salon treatments. Protect your colour from **sun, chlorine and salt water** using hats, UV sprays and clarifying treatments as needed. Always use heat protectant before styling tools. Most clients return every six to eight weeks for toner refreshes, root touch-ups or gloss treatments to maintain tone and keep ends looking polished. Our team will give you a clear **maintenance plan** tailored to your lifestyle, budget and how often you are willing to return for upkeep. Realistic aftercare is what keeps corrected colour looking natural, dimensional and healthy between visits.

Always sees the vision and executes to perfection!! ## Frequently Asked Questions How much does colour correction cost at Paris Russell? Colour correction is priced from £230 to £300 depending on hair length, complexity and the number of techniques required. Very involved cases needing multiple sessions will be discussed and quoted during consultation. How long does a colour correction appointment take? Most colour correction appointments take around 150 minutes (two and a half hours). Complex corrections involving multiple stages or very compromised hair may require longer or follow-up sessions. Can you fix my colour in one appointment? Many corrections are completed in one visit, but very complex changes, such as going from very dark to light blonde or correcting multiple overlapping colours, may need a staged approach over several appointments to protect hair health. What should I bring to my colour correction consultation? Bring clear reference photos of colours you like and want to avoid, and be ready to discuss your full hair history including all previous colours, bleaching, box dyes, henna and chemical treatments. Honesty helps us plan safely and accurately. Will colour correction damage my hair? We use bond-building treatments and gentle techniques throughout to minimise damage. If your hair is very fragile, we may recommend a staged plan or less aggressive goals to prioritise long-term health over instant results. Can you remove box dye or go from dark to blonde? Yes, but it often requires a gradual, multi-step process. Moving from very dark or box dye to light blonde typically passes through warmer or darker transitional shades first to avoid breakage and maintain hair integrity. How do I prepare my hair before colour correction? Avoid washing your hair on the day of your appointment so natural oils protect your scalp. Do not use box dyes or strong home treatments in the weeks before, and come ready to discuss every product and process your hair has been through. How do I care for my hair after colour correction? Use sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, wash less frequently, and avoid very hot water. Incorporate regular deep conditioning masks, always use heat protectant, and protect your hair from sun and chlorine with hats and UV sprays. How often will I need to come back after colour correction? Most clients return every six to eight weeks for toner refreshes, root touch-ups or gloss treatments to maintain tone and vibrancy. Your stylist will create a maintenance plan tailored to your hair growth, colour and lifestyle. What if I am not happy with the result after one session? We will discuss realistic expectations during consultation. If refinement is needed, follow-up appointments can be scheduled. Complex corrections sometimes require multiple visits to reach the final goal while keeping hair healthy.
