Is hair color correction on your mind? Maybe you dyed your hair, and things did not go as planned. Or you bleached your hair, which is now orange, or you have sun damage.
A hair color correction can fix issues by rectifying what happened to your strands. You can do this for lighting, toning, and highlights.
Our team of stylists at Hāste Urban Hair Spa are seasoned professionals in the art of hair color correction.
They have successfully handled numerous cases, and while the process can be demanding and time-consuming, the results are always worth the effort.
What is Hair Color Correction?
Hair color correction is similar to fixing a photo to get the lighting right. At Hāste, we aim to correct the color or tone of your hair.
Whether your hair is too dark, warm-toned, light, or cool-toned, our colorists will craft a personalized color correction plan that caters to your unique needs and preferences.
If you have ashy-brassy strands, uneven color regrowth, or want to drastically change the color of your dark hair to lighter hair, you need to book a color correction appointment with us.
You can count on the fact that the color correction procedure is secure and efficient. It begins by applying a new color over your unwanted shade, ensuring a seamless transition to your desired hue.
Hence, we will work on the color wheel’s opposite side to balance the tones. For instance, if you want to redress your purple hair, which is a warm shade, we will use a green-shaded toner to minimize the color of your hair.
Using a hair toner will help neutralize your current color, allowing it to become a new color when applied over the top.
How to Fix Brassy Highlights on Brown Hair
If your hair is darker, it typically consists of a mixture of yellow, orange, or red pigments that contribute to its natural color.
If you bleach your hair and end up with brassy yet orange hair, it can result from the bleaching process not lifting your underlying orange and red pigments.
If you have dark hair and lightened it, never bleach it within a week. After allowing your hair to rest, consider employing a deep conditioning treatment. It will provide your hair with the necessary time to recuperate.
You can try bleaching it at home, but we don’t recommend this as it strips the hair of nutrients and proteins and causes breakage. It can lead to further damage and may complicate the correction process.
Instead, book an appointment with one of our stylists to help get your hair looking lustrous again.
You can also use a toning shampoo at home to adjust your brassy hair color. The type of shampoo you choose will depend on the brassiness of the hair.
For example, you must use a blue shampoo if you have brown hair with red or orange brassiness, and you must invest in a purple shampoo for blonde hair with yellow brassiness.
Hair Dye Color Correction
If you tried to make your hair lighter with natural dark hair and are unhappy with the results, it is best to dye it darker.
We will start using a color filler. It is a technique for transitioning between different shades, a midway step between the current hue and the one you want to be.
Doing this will add pigments to the strands for dimension and richness while disguising the original shade.
Then, another color will be applied to provide the results, adding depth to the mid-level filler shade we used first.
If you’re thinking about fixing the color at home, we recommend visiting us today to have it professionally done.
How Long is a Color Correction Process?
The length of a hair color correction can depend on different factors. Sometimes, a color correction is as simple as applying only the toner to brassy highlights.
Sometimes, lifting dark hair can become time-consuming, and you will need more appointments.
If you only want to fix your roots as the ends are OK, we can do it in a single process, such as color or gloss.
However, if there is patchiness and needing to correct the tone, you will spend more hours in the salon, up to six hours sometimes. Another important thing is the health of your hair.
We recommend booking a consultation with one of our colorists today.
What to Discuss With Hāste For a Color Correction
We recommend arriving at the appointment with some context when discussing a color correction with your stylist:
- Explain what you do not like about your color, like it does not flatter your skin or is too bright.
- Tell the hairdresser what product you used when you dyed your hair.
- Explain to them the color you want to achieve, and bring along photos of the shades you want.
Our stylists can guide you if the color you want is achievable, or they can provide you with a workable alternative; also, before heading to your color correction appointment, visit with a clean slate.
Come with fresh, clean hair without product buildup, which can affect the color’s appearance. We recommend using a clarifying shampoo.
After Care For Color-Corrected Hair
After color correction, we recommend giving your hair extra tender, loving care. You can use a hydrating deep conditioner to restore the lost hydration and nourish the strands. Also, use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner to help maintain your color.

When dealing with hot roots on brown hair, one effective solution is to use a color gloss or demi-permanent dye that closely matches the rest of the hair. It helps to seamlessly blend the roots with the rest of the hair, providing a uniform and natural look.
