Colour Correction in Canada
Colour correction is one of the most involved hair services a salon can offer. It is booked when a previous colour result — from a salon, a box dye, or an at-home treatment — has left uneven tone, banding, unwanted warmth, over-darkening, or inconsistent lightening. A skilled colourist will assess your hair at a consultation, discuss realistic goals, and plan a staged approach. In most cases, colour correction takes more than one visit. The number of sessions depends on how far the hair needs to shift and how much integrity needs to be protected along the way. Colour correction in Canada typically starts around $250 and can go above $650 for more complex cases. Strand testing is common before major changes begin. There are no guaranteed results — a good colourist will be honest about what is achievable safely in a single session. Ask about aftercare, bond-building treatments, and home care that can support the process.
