Correcting Brassy Hair Colour & Other Common Problems
Beautiful hair colour is hard to achieve if you’re not hair colour specialists like us! When hair colour is applied incorrectly, you can end up with brassy hair tones, dull hair colour or even ugly bands of overlapping colour.
Luckily, we can fix all these problems – even if you have all of them simultaneously. We will assess your hair in sections and decide which colour correction methods will need to be used on each area to ensure you end up with a gorgeous, even hair colour.
Other common hair colour problems we come across are:
- Brunette to blonde hair dyes that have turned orange
- Blonde hair with green tones
- Over-bleached hair with roots that no longer match the rest of the hair colour.
We have the techniques available to correct all of these issues and more.
Uneven Balayage Corrected
Balayage may look effortless, but it is one of the most technically demanding colouring techniques. We regularly see clients who have attempted balayage at home, only to be left with uneven tones, harsh lines or patchy results. If this sounds familiar, rest assured - these issues can be professionally corrected.
At Johnson Blythe, our expert colourists are highly trained in advanced balayage techniques and colour correction. True balayage requires precise hand-painting, expert blending and careful placement of lighter tones to complement the natural fall and movement of the hair. When performed correctly, the result is a seamless, sun-kissed finish that looks natural and beautifully balanced.
By trusting experienced professionals, you can achieve a refined, even balayage while protecting the health and condition of your hair. This is something that is very difficult to replicate without professional skill and expertise.
Box Dye Hair Colour Disasters
You should never judge a book by its cover and the same applies to box hair dye. While at-home colour kits may promise easy, flawless results, they rarely deliver the shade shown on the packaging. Variations in hair history, condition and undertones often lead to unexpected or disappointing outcomes. If you’ve coloured your hair at home and the result isn’t what you hoped for, our expert colourists can help you achieve the shade you originally envisioned.
Please note that, depending on the complexity of the colour issue, achieving your desired result may require more than one colour correction appointment. During your consultation, we will assess your hair, discuss realistic outcomes and create a clear, tailored plan. We will make sure you're clear and fully informed at every stage of the process.
Repairing Over-Bleached Hair
If you have is dry and damaged hair from over-processing, we’ll likely recommend a hair treatment to improve the condition of your hair. Olaplex is a fantastic treatment that helps to strengthen weak and damaged hair. We can even add this hair treatment into the hair colouring process!
Your hair will look and feel happier and healthier with an Olaplex hair treatment at our hair salons in Harpenden or Hertford.

Hair Colour Correction FAQs
What is hair colour correction?
«Hair colour correction is a specialised service that aims to fix hair colouring issues, whether due to at-home dye disaster, previous salon treatments, or unwanted brassy tones. During your hair colour correction service at our salons in Hertford or Harpenden, our colour technicians will neutralise unwanted shades, working to restore hair health and achieve your desired shade.
How long does hair colour correction take?
«Colour correction services vary depending on the specific colour you want to change and the condition of the hair. Some colour corrections can take a few hours, whereas others might require multiple appointments. During your colour correction consultation, our colour experts will analyse the unique condition of your hair and create a clear timeline of how long it will take to achieve your desired shade.
Will colour correction damage my hair?
«At Johnson Blythe Hertford and Harpenden, we prioritise hair health. While colour correction services can take some time, we always work to minimise damage and keep your hair in tip-top condition. We will advise on the best treatments and products to keep your hair nourished and hydrated throughout. If the colour requires a lot of lifting or lightening, we will also take it slowly and advise on the number of treatments needed to achieve the best results and keep your hair healthy.
Can you fix orange or brassy tones?
«Absolutely! At Johnson Blythe Hertfordshire, we can tone down brassy or orange hues using professional products and techniques. We use a combination of products including toners, lighteners, and rebalancing and clarifying treatments to achieve your desired shade. While brassy and orange hues might take a while to lift, we will use our in-depth colour correction knowledge to find your dream shade.
How can I prepare my hair for a colour correction appointment?
«Before you visit your chosen Johnson Blythe salon in Hertfordshire for a colour correction appointment, we advise that you avoid all chemical treatments and colouring services in the lead up. Come to your appointment with clean hair, void of any products (like gel, styling sprays, or leave in conditioners.) We also urge you to be honest about your hair history (even those at-home treatments or colours) so that we can create a bespoke action plan and get your hair back on track.
How much will my hair colour correction appointment cost?
«The cost of your hair colour correction appointment at our Hertford and Harpenden salons will depend on the unique condition of your hair. A hair colour correction service that takes one appointment will cost less than one that needs several. As such, we will need to see the condition of your hair and create a personalised quote. During your hair colour correction consultation we can advise on an action plan and estimate how many appointments it will take to achieve your desired colour.
Will colour correction achieve my desired shade?
«While our experienced colour technicians will do their absolute best to achieve your desired colour, results may vary based on your hair’s current condition, colour, and previous treatments. We will always work closely with you to get as close as possible to your ideal shade.
Do I need a patch test before a hair colour correction service?
«Yes. If you haven't had your hair coloured at Johnson Blythe in the past 6 months, we kindly ask that you pop in for a patch test. This helps us keep you safe and ensure that you aren't allergic to any of our products.
