We have all been there. Maybe it was a home dye kit that went a little too orange. Maybe a salon visit left you with highlights that looked nothing like the inspiration photo. Or maybe years of colour have left your hair looking uneven and tired. If any of these sound familiar, you might need a colour correction — and that is absolutely okay. Our specialist colourists at Bigoudee Coiffure in Mount Lawley, Perth perform colour corrections every week, restoring hair to its full potential safely and beautifully. Here are 5 signs you need one.
1. Your hair has gone brassy or orange
Brassiness is one of the most common colour issues, especially for clients trying to go blonde. It happens when hair is not lifted enough, or when a toner fades. A colour correction — usually involving re-lifting and the right toner — can neutralise those warm, unwanted tones and give you the cool, bright blonde you are after.
2. Your colour is uneven or patchy
If your colour looks darker in some areas and lighter in others, it usually means the colour was applied unevenly, left on inconsistently, or that old colour has built up in certain sections. Our colourists can blend and correct this by carefully rebalancing the tones across your hair.
3. Box dye buildup has made your hair look flat
Box dyes deposit colour on top of colour. Over time, this creates a heavy, dark, one-dimensional look — especially on the mid-lengths and ends. Correcting this requires a careful removal process followed by a fresh colour application that restores dimension and vibrancy.
4. Your hair feels damaged after colouring
If your hair is dry, brittle, or breaking after a colour treatment, it may have been over-processed. A colour correction here focuses on repairing the hair first — with treatments like K18 molecular repair — before carefully adjusting the colour.
5. The colour just is not what you asked for
Sometimes the result just does not match the vision. Whether it is too dark, too warm, too light, or simply not you — a professional colour correction can get you where you want to be. We start with a detailed consultation to understand what went wrong and create a plan to fix it.
