Colour Correction Bristol – How to Fix Hair Colour Mistakes

Colour correction is an advanced hair service designed to fix colour mistakes, remove unwanted tones and restore your hair to a beautiful, healthy state. Whether you’ve had a DIY dye disaster or a salon misstep, choosing the right colour correction specialist in Bristol is critical for achieving the results you want. At Fergal Doyle Hair we specialise in hair colour rescue work and will guide you through the process from consultation to final transformation.

What is colour correction?

Colour correction is the process of adjusting or completely changing a previous hair colour. This could involve removing unwanted brassy or orange tones, darkening hair that has been lightened too much, evening out patchy colour, or safely lightening hair that is too dark. It requires a deep understanding of colour theory, product chemistry and hair health.

Why might you need colour correction?

– You have brassy, yellow or orange tones after bleaching or lightening.

– Your colour is uneven with patches or stripes.

– A box dye or DIY colouring has turned your hair too dark or an unexpected shade.

– You have multiple layers of colour that need to be blended.

– Your hair has been over‑processed and needs restoring alongside recolouring.

The colour correction process

Every colour correction starts with a personalised consultation. Your stylist will analyse your hair’s condition, colour history and desired result. They’ll perform strand tests to determine how your hair will react to lightening or pigment removal. Colour correction often involves several steps, such as colour removal, lightening, toning and recolouring. Depending on the complexity, it may take multiple sessions over several weeks to achieve a healthy, even colour.

Factors that affect colour correction cost

Colour correction is bespoke, which means pricing depends on:

– Hair length and thickness

– The current colour and history (e.g., box dye vs professional colour)

– The level of correction required (lightening vs darkening, removing bands, etc.)

– The number of sessions needed

In Bristol, colour correction services typically range from £150 to £400+. After a consultation, we’ll provide an accurate quote and plan tailored to your hair.

Why choose a specialist colour salon for correction?

Correcting colour mistakes is highly technical. Choosing an award‑winning, colour‑focused salon like Fergal Doyle Hair ensures your hair is treated by experts with advanced training and the best products.

Once your colour is corrected, maintaining it is essential. We recommend:

– Using professional home‑care products prescribed by your stylist, such as Wella Professionals or Sebastian Professionals.

– Scheduling a toner or gloss every three to four weeks to keep brassiness at bay.
