You have found a colour you love. The next step is working out how to get there from the hair you have today. A photograph can show us the direction, but it cannot tell us your colour history, how your hair will respond or the appointment time you need.
Why colour correction starts with a consultation
At Wigs & Warpaint in Sheffield, a major colour change starts with a conversation. Colour correction can involve uneven colour, bands of different shades, unwanted tones or changing an existing colour. Booking a standard full-head colour may not allow the work or time your goal requires.
Bring the inspiration and the history
Bring two or three photographs and explain what you like: the lightness, warmth, placement or overall feel. Tell us about salon and home colour, bleach, henna, straightening and other chemical services. Explain your budget, any important date and how often you want to return.
What is realistic for your hair?
Your colourist assesses your starting point and condition, explains the options and arranges any appropriate testing. Some changes can be planned in one visit; others need stages or a different initial goal. A reference is a shared direction, rather than a promise of an identical result.
What should the quote include?
A routine regrowth service and a correction are different pieces of work. Discuss the agreed colour process and appointment time, and ask whether lightening, toner, treatments, cutting and finishing are included. For a staged change, discuss likely follow-up visits and maintenance too. Changes to the plan should be discussed before proceeding.
