Hair Color Correction
Manhattan & Brooklyn, NYC
Hair color correction is one of the most technically demanding services in professional hair color — and one of the most transformative. At Toni Salon NYC, our expert colorists specialize in correcting uneven color, eliminating brassiness, reversing over-processed results, and restoring the health and beauty of hair that has been compromised by previous color mistakes. Whether your color was done at home or at another salon, we have the expertise to fix it and give you the beautiful, healthy color you deserve.
About This Service
Color correction encompasses a wide range of corrective services — from removing unwanted brassiness or warmth from lightened hair, to evening out patchy or uneven color, to safely removing dark box dye, to correcting a color that has turned an unexpected shade. Each correction case is unique, and our approach is always tailored to the specific issue at hand.
The most common color correction cases we see at Toni Salon include: hair that has turned orange or brassy after lightening; uneven color with visible patches or bands; hair that has been over-processed and is damaged or breaking; dark box dye that needs to be safely removed or lightened; and color that simply did not achieve the intended result.
Color correction is a multi-step process that requires careful assessment, strategic planning, and often multiple appointments to achieve the desired result safely. Our colorists are trained in advanced corrective techniques and use professional-grade products specifically designed for correction work — including bond-building treatments that protect and restore the hair's structural integrity throughout the process.
At Toni Salon, we are honest with every color correction client about what is achievable in a single appointment versus what requires a multi-session approach. Our priority is always the health of your hair — we will never compromise the integrity of your hair to achieve a result faster. A safe, gradual correction always produces better long-term results than an aggressive single-session approach.

Color Consultation
Color correction consultations at Toni Salon are the most important step in the correction process. Our colorists conduct a thorough assessment of your hair — examining the current color, the underlying pigment, the condition of the hair, and the history of previous treatments. We discuss your goals honestly and transparently, explaining exactly what is possible and what the correction process will involve. We never overpromise — we give you a realistic picture of the journey ahead.

We take the time to do it right.

Use color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner exclusively
Apply a deep conditioning mask 2–3 times per week to restore moisture to corrected hair
Avoid heat styling as much as possible during the correction process
