Get answers to common questions about Color Correction Consult.

Bring photos of your desired color, current hair color (natural and previous dye), product list, and any recent salon receipts. This information helps stylists evaluate your history, identify potential challenges, and create an accurate, safe corrective plan.

Consultations usually last 30–60 minutes depending on complexity. More extensive color histories or severe issues may require longer discussion and strand testing; time allows us to design a staged plan to achieve safe, lasting results.

Yes — photos are very helpful. Bring clear, well-lit images of your target style and current hair from multiple angles. Photos help your stylist assess feasibility and design a stepwise plan that aligns with your expectations.
