DIY Hair Color Gone Wrong? Here’s How The Masters Salon Can Help with Color Correction

July 14 2024

We've all been there: the allure of at-home hair color kits promising salon-quality results at a fraction of the cost. While some manage to achieve a decent outcome, many find themselves facing unexpected and often disastrous results. If your DIY hair color attempt has left you with less-than-ideal hair, don’t panic. The Masters Salon is here to rescue you with professional hair color correction.

The Pitfalls of At-Home Hair Coloring

Coloring your hair at home can seem like a convenient and budget-friendly option. However, without professional training and experience, several things can go wrong, including:

• Uneven Color: Applying hair color evenly is a skill that requires practice. At home, it's easy to miss spots, leading to patchy and uneven results.
   
• Wrong Shade: Box dye results can be unpredictable, often turning out much darker or lighter than expected.
  
  
• Overlapping Color: Repeated coloring at home can lead to overlapping applications, resulting in damage and inconsistent color.
   
• Brassy Tones: Many at-home color kits lack the necessary toners to counteract unwanted brassy or orange tones, especially when lightening hair.
   
• Damage: Using the wrong products or leaving color on too long can severely damage your hair, leading to dryness, breakage, and split ends.

What Is Hair Color Correction?

Hair color correction is a specialized service designed to fix color mishaps and restore your hair to its desired shade. This process can involve several techniques, depending on the nature of the problem, including:

• Neutralizing Unwanted Tones: Adding toners to counteract brassy, green, or other unwanted hues.
   
• Color Balancing: Evening out patchy or uneven color to achieve a uniform look.
   
• Lightening or Darkening: Adjusting the overall shade to match your desired color.
   
• Restoring Natural Color: Gradually return your hair to its natural shade if the color result is too drastic.
