Color Correction

About 2 hr

Book

Color correction starts at $300. The listed time is a starting point, and bigger corrections can take longer or need more than one visit. Amy confirms your price and time after seeing your photos and color history.

Best fit

When to book color correction.

Book a correction when your color history changes what is safe or possible in one appointment.

  • Box dye, banding, uneven tone, too much warmth, or color that went too dark.
  • A big change, like dark box dye to blonde, where you want honest answers about time, cost, and visits.
  • Any goal (blonde, brunette, or a gloss) where old color is in the way.

How Amy approaches correction

Amy plans around the hair in front of her, not the inspiration photo. She weighs the result you want against your hair’s condition and history, and won’t push fragile hair too far.

Where to find Amy

Amy works one-on-one inside Lucas & Co Salon at 246 Vernon St in downtown Roseville.

How to start

Send a booking request with photos and your color history. Corrections need a consultation, so Amy reviews it and talks with you before confirming the plan.

Process

The plan comes before the formula.

01

Start with the history

Box dye, salon color, lightener, color removers, and anything else that has been on your hair.

02

Choose the safest first move

The first visit might be a strand test, removing buildup, evening out warmth, or getting to an even base.

03

Protect your hair

If pushing further would damage your hair, Amy stops and explains what should wait for the next visit.

04

Plan the next steps

You leave knowing what comes next: tone, budget, care, and when to come back.

Before and after: long blonde hair with dark regrowth changed to warm brunette with caramel highlights and loose waves.
Before and after: long hair with uneven, brassy orange ends corrected to a warm, even chestnut brunette with soft waves.

Questions

What to know before booking.

How much does color correction cost?+

It starts at $300. The total depends on what is on your hair, its length and thickness, and how much work it needs. Amy confirms the price of your first appointment after reviewing your photos and history, and tells you if more visits are likely.

Can it be done in one appointment?+

Sometimes. Box dye, banding, fragile ends, or a big lightening goal often take two or more visits to fix safely. Amy will tell you which to expect before any color is mixed.

What happens when a correction takes several visits?+

The goal is split into safer steps. The first visit might even out bands or remove buildup, and later visits move closer to the color you want once Amy sees how your hair responded. It protects your hair and gives you a clear budget and schedule up front.

What counts as color correction?+

Anything where existing color has to be fixed before you can get the result you want: banding, patchy box dye, brassiness, color that went too dark, or a service that didn’t turn out right. Big changes, like dark box dye to blonde, count too.

Should I book balayage or color correction?+

If you have used box dye or have uneven old color, start with color correction. Amy will check whether balayage can happen in the same visit, and if a regular balayage is all you need, she will book it that way.

How should I prepare?+

Tell Amy everything that has been on your hair, including box dye and at-home fixes, with rough dates. Add current photos in natural light, since indoor light hides warmth and banding, plus a photo of your goal.
