Corrective color

Why color turns brassy, and how we fix it.

Signature · Corrective Color

Color gone wrong? We fix it.

Brassy blonde, orange roots, hot ends, banding, box dye. We test, map your levels and tell you honestly how many sessions it takes.

Lifting from a 4 to a 9 safely can take two or three sessions. Going darker is usually one. You'll see exactly where you are before we start.

Yellow × violet

Brassy blonde

Violet toner cancels yellow for a clean, cool blonde.

Orange × blue

Hot roots & brunette

Blue cancels orange left behind by lightening or box dye.

Red × green

Unwanted red

Green calms red so the shade reads natural in daylight.
