Colour correction in Sydney, at a glance
Correction is the most technical work a colourist does: removing banding, evening out box dye, or undoing a colour that went wrong. It is priced by the hour because no two heads are the same.

What to look for
- A consultation before the appointment is non-negotiable. Anyone quoting a fixed price sight-unseen is guessing.
- Ask for a realistic plan. Serious corrections often need two or three sessions.
- Look for a colourist who says no to what your hair cannot take today.
- Bring photos of the history, including the products you used at home.

Common questions
- How much does colour correction cost?
- Most Melbourne salons charge by the hour, commonly $140 to $180, because the work required is not knowable in advance. A full-day correction can run from $600 upwards.
- Will my hair be damaged?
- Any lightening costs some integrity. A good colourist manages that with bond builders, staged sessions and by stopping short of a shade your hair cannot currently hold.
