Color Correction in Delray Beach
Box dye, banding, brassy or uneven blonde. Corrective color is planned at a consultation and billed hourly, from $100 an hour.
Why correction is billed by the hour
Color correction fixes color that went wrong: uneven lift, bands of different shades, brassy or green tones, or box dye that has to come out before you can go lighter. The work depends on what is already on the hair, so nobody can quote a fixed price from a photo.
At Pier Blondie in Delray Beach it is billed hourly, from $100 an hour, and always starts with a consultation. We look at the history of the hair, check how it lifts, and tell you how many sessions the goal takes before anything is mixed.
Some corrections are done in one visit. Others, especially dark box dye to blonde, take two or three, with time between them so the hair stays in good condition.
What it costs
Prices shown are starting prices. The final price depends on hair length, density and anything extra you add. We confirm it at consultation, before any color is mixed.
What kind of correction
| The problem | The usual fix |
|---|---|
| Brassy, yellow or orange blonde | A toner or gloss, from $50 |
| Bands of lighter and darker color | Lifting the darker bands, then toning everything to one shade |
| Box dye, and you want to go lighter | Lifting in stages, often over more than one visit |
| Color came out too dark | Gentle lifting, then a gloss to set the tone |
| Green or ashy tones | A toner that neutralizes the unwanted tone |
Every correction starts with a consultation; the plan is confirmed before any color is mixed.
Before you book
- How much is color correction in Delray Beach?
- At Pier Blondie, corrective color is billed hourly, from $100 an hour. The total depends on how much needs fixing and how many sessions it takes, and you hear the plan at consultation before any color is mixed.
- Can you fix box dye?
- Usually, yes. Box dye is often darker and more stubborn than salon color, so lifting it is done in stages. We check how your hair responds at consultation and tell you whether your goal takes one visit or several.
- How many sessions does a correction take?
- It depends on the starting point. Toning brassy blonde is often a single visit. Taking dark or box-dyed hair to blonde usually takes two or three sessions, spaced a few weeks apart.
- Will color correction damage my hair?
- Any lightening changes the hair, which is why correction is planned in stages rather than forced in one day. Pushing too far in one session is how breakage happens.
- What should I tell you at the consultation?
- Everything that has been on your hair in the last two years: box dye, henna, highlights, keratin or other smoothing treatments, even if it has grown out. Photos of the color you want and of what went wrong help too.
- Can I get highlights or balayage after a correction?
- Yes, once the base is even. Many corrections end with highlights or balayage, which starts at $275, so the result looks intentional rather than repaired.
