What is the hair colour correction process?

Hair colour correction is the process of fixing colour results that didn’t turn out as intended – whether too light, too dark, patchy, or an overall shade that doesn’t suit your skin tone. At our salon, we provide expert hair colour correction advice to guide you towards a solution that restores harmony to your look.

Examples of colour correction include:

  • Toning down brassiness or orange undertones
  • Lightening hair that’s too dark
  • Evening out patchy or streaky colour
  • Adjusting shades to complement your complexion
  • Correcting colour build-up from repeated box dyes

Why choose a hair colour correction specialist?

Attempting to fix colour at home often makes the problem worse. At Marianne’s, our team includes experienced hairdresser colour specialists who understand the science of hair colour. This means:

  • A safer, healthier approach to correcting colour mistakes
  • Tailored plans that may include multiple stages for best results
  • Use of professional-grade products that nourish while correcting
  • Honest advice on what’s realistically achievable for your hair type and condition

The correction process – what to expect

When you visit our hair salon in Basingstoke for colour correction, we’ll take the following steps:

  1. Consultation & strand test – to understand your hair history and test how it responds.
  2. Personalised plan – whether your hair needs lightening, toning, re-colouring, or a combination of services.
  3. Treatment – carefully applied to protect the integrity of your hair.
  4. Aftercare guidance – including recommended products and services to maintain your new look.

Depending on your starting point, full results may take more than one session, but we’ll guide you every step of the way.

Important considerations – realistic expectations

We believe in giving you honest advice so you know exactly what to expect from your colour correction journey:

  • Healthy hair achieves the best results – damaged or over-processed hair may need strengthening treatments before correction can begin.

  • Colour history matters – previous dyes, bleach, or colour build-up can affect how your hair responds to correction.

  • Multiple sessions may be required – especially for removing dark tones or achieving lighter, brighter results.

  • Professional aftercare is essential – a cut, blow-dry, or conditioning service such as Olaplex can protect your hair and enhance the outcome.

  • Personalised advice every time – our stylists will carefully assess your hair during your consultation and recommend the safest, most effective approach for you.
