Consultation and condition assessment
A consultation is required before booking corrective color so we can review your color history, assess hair condition, and set realistic goals. During this appointment we’ll look for previous chemical work, uneven tones, or box-dye corrections and create a step-by-step plan. Bring photos and any product history to help the stylist determine whether a single session is possible or if multiple visits are safer.
The consultation clarifies scope and timing: some corrections are straightforward, while others are complex and staged for hair health. Because corrective work varies, our pricing is hourly (Starting at $90) and we often schedule longer blocks — many initial corrections are booked in 180 MINUTES when appropriate to allow detailed work without rushing.
How hourly pricing works
Corrective color is priced hourly because outcomes depend on what we uncover during assessment: underlying color, previous formulations, and hair condition. The quoted rate begins Starting at $90 per hour and covers the stylist’s time, expertise, and in-salon services. Hourly billing lets us adapt the plan mid-service if additional steps are needed, rather than locking you into one fixed package that may not match the work required.
Scheduling reflects this flexibility. We recommend booking your consultation first, then reserving a correction block. Peak demand for corrective services hits January, February, and April, so plan ahead for evenings or weekends—these times are popular with after-work clients who combine visits with nearby dining or trips to Zilker Park and South Congress.
Process, limits, and realistic outcomes
A corrective appointment focuses on stabilizing and improving your color, whether that means neutralizing unwanted tones, evening out uneven color, or mapping a gradual rebuild toward a new shade. Technicians proceed conservatively if hair shows previous damage; sometimes the healthiest route is staged sessions. Clients value our attention to blending and tone, and we prioritize hair integrity over rushing to a dramatic single-session change.
Results typically include improved color vibrancy, cleaner blends, and a clearer route to your target look, but severe corrections may require more than one visit. Reviews describe noticeable improvements and thoughtful, unhurried service. We don’t guarantee specific outcomes, but we’ll set realistic expectations during consultation and outline any recommended follow-up appointments to achieve your goal.
