Colour Correction in Buderim

Box dye that went wrong, blonde that turned orange, banding from years of different colours, or a shade that just isn’t you: colour correction is one of our specialties at The Ivy.

Every colour correction needs a consultation before the appointment. Each one is tailored to your colour history and your goals, and to reach those goals safely we may need to do test strands first, so we never compromise your hair’s health.

What we can fix

Box dye and home colour, including dark colour you want to go lighter
Brassy, orange or yellow tones after lightening
Banding and patchy colour from previous services
Blonde that has become too light, by adding depth back in (reverse balayage)
Colour that’s too dark, too red or too ashy

How it works

Every correction is different, so it always starts with a consultation. We look at your hair’s history, test how it responds, and plan the safest way to get you to the colour you want. Sometimes that’s one appointment. For bigger changes, like going from dark box dye to blonde, it’s usually done over more than one visit to protect the condition of your hair. Bond-building treatments like Olaplex are part of the process where needed.

How long it takes

A colour correction usually takes 4 to 5 hours, depending on what you’re having done. We’ll give you a time estimate at your consultation.

Price

Colour correction starts from $350. The final price depends on your hair’s length, thickness and history, and we’ll confirm it before we start. See the full price list.

Common questions

Can you take my hair from dark box dye to blonde?
Often, yes, but it usually takes more than one appointment so your hair stays healthy. We’ll tell you honestly at your consultation what’s achievable and how long it will take.

Will colour correction damage my hair?
Any lightening has some effect on the hair, which is why we plan corrections carefully, use bond-building treatments and sometimes spread the work over several visits.

Should I tell you about colour I’ve used at home?
Absolutely. It’s vital that we know your full colour history, especially from the past year, so we know exactly what we’re working with and there are no surprises during your service. For example: you were blonde a year ago, went darker, and now want to be blonde again; you dyed your hair red, put a dark box dye over it, and now want to go lighter; or you’ve been using henna or a colour-depositing shampoo and want lightening. All of these change how your hair reacts, and knowing your history helps us plan the safest correction for your hair’s health.
