Colour correction,
carefully planned.
When colour hasn’t turned out the way you hoped, Tara Quin plans the fix around your hair’s history and does every step herself in Teneriffe. Priced at your consultation.
Colour correction at a glance
Colour correction is any colour service that fixes a result you are unhappy with, such as brassy, patchy or too-dark colour, rather than starting from untouched hair.
Corrected hair has already been coloured, sometimes more than once, so it behaves less predictably than natural hair. That is why the plan and the price depend on seeing it in person and knowing its history, and why Tara works only as far as your hair can safely take, even if that means more than one visit.
| Appointment time | Usually 3 to 5 hours, longer for long or thick hair |
|---|---|
| Visits | One for smaller fixes; 2 to 3 for bigger changes, 4 to 8 weeks apart |
| Who does it | Tara, from start to finish |
Common corrections
- Brassy or orange blonde
- Toned back to a softer, cleaner shade, and lifted further where the hair needs it. Often a single visit.
- Patchy or banded colour
- Uneven sections blended so the colour reads as one, which can take more than one visit if the bands are strong.
- Box dye or colour that went too dark
- Built-up colour lifted out gently and in stages, which usually means two or more visits.
- Going back to your natural colour
- Lightened lengths blended back towards your own shade, so regrowth stops being a hard line.

Consult

Correct
The colour is lifted, blended or deepened in stages, only as far as your hair can comfortably take in one visit.

Tone and finish
A toner or gloss sets the final shade, then your hair is finished and styled, with a plan for your next visit.

How much does colour correction cost?
At Tara Quin Hair in Teneriffe, colour correction is priced at your consultation, because it depends on what your hair has had and where you want it to go. Tara confirms the plan, how many visits it is likely to take, and the price before any colour goes on.
Can my colour be fixed in one visit?
Smaller fixes, like brassy or uneven tone, can often be done in one visit of around 3 to 5 hours. Bigger changes, such as lifting out box dye or going much lighter, usually take 2 to 3 visits spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart, so your hair has time to recover in between.
Will colour correction damage my hair?
Any lightening asks a lot of hair, which is why a correction goes in stages rather than all at once. Tara uses premium colour from brands like Kevin.Murphy and Redken Shades EQ, and a strengthening treatment can be added to protect condition further.
What should I tell Tara before my appointment?
Everything your hair has had, including box dye, henna, keratin or smoothing treatments, and any recent lightening, with roughly how long ago. It all changes what is possible in one visit and what is kind to your hair.
