Klodjana is a Rock Star! She started the process for my color correction and after the first step, I felt my confidence returning! I can’t wait until next month when I’ll see the finished product. She took the time to explain how she would gradually fix what was wrong and the importance of not addin... read more

I can't speak highly enough of the salon and my stylist, Laura Folkes. I came to her with severely over processed hair with tons of breakage and dry ends. She was very attentive during my consult and was very honest about how to get my hair back to health. Laura was able to flawlessly match my natur... read more

Tanner is amazing. Came in for a color correction...poor Tanner had his work cut out... He gave me a beautiful balayage that gets tons of compliments. Seriously couldn’t ask for a better result. You seriously get what you pay for and Tanner was worth every penny.

This review is for stylist Billy, who by the way is nothing but amazing. I came to Billy to repair what another stylist had done to my hair. I showed him a picture of my hair that was taken just two days prior to what my color and the style my hair was. All I had wanted was the base roots done and h... read more

We Fix Hair Color Problems

If your hair color didn’t turn out the way you expected — whether from a box color, overlapping highlights, banding, brassiness, or uneven tones — you’re not alone. These situations are common, and they’re exactly where experience matters most.

Our colorists specialize in correcting:

  • Box or drugstore color that went too dark, too warm, or uneven
  • Overprocessed highlights that appear orange, brassy, or damaged
  • Patchy or uneven blonding
  • Grown-out vivid or fashion color when returning to a natural shade
  • Previous salon work that lacks blend, balance, or dimension

You’re in safe hands. Color correction requires advanced knowledge, controlled technique, and realistic planning — all of which are core to how we work at Monaco Salon.

The Color Correction Process

Every color correction begins with a thorough consultation. Before any product is applied, we assess:

  • What color is currently on the hair
  • Your hair’s history and condition
  • Which areas need to be treated
  • Your realistic end goal

From there, we create a plan. Some corrections begin with color removal or lightening to eliminate unwanted pigment. Others involve neutralizing tones, re-balancing color placement, or rebuilding dimension. Throughout the process, we explain what we’re doing, why we’re taking that approach, how long it will take, and what the investment will be — before we begin.

We believe in transparency and education, so there are no surprises.

How long does hair color correction take?

Color correction often requires a multi-step approach. While some corrections can be completed in one appointment, more complex situations may take several hours or multiple visits to achieve the best result safely.

If your correction involves significant lifting, overlapping color, or compromised hair health, patience is essential. Our priority is not rushing the process — it’s protecting your hair while getting you to your goal.

Protecting Hair Health During Color Correction

Maintaining the integrity of your hair is always part of the plan. Depending on your needs, we may recommend a bond-building or protein treatment, such as K18, to help strengthen and protect the hair during chemical services. These treatments are a proactive step to support healthier, stronger hair throughout the correction process.

Book Your Color Correction Consultation

Because color correction is highly customized, these services are not booked online. The best first step is a consultation so we can evaluate your hair in person and design the right plan for you.

If you’re ready to move past a color mistake and get your hair back to beautiful, schedule a consultation with the color experts at Monaco Salon in Tampa.

Common Hair Color Questions & Concerns

Can you remove box hair dye?

«

Box color is one of the most common reasons clients seek color correction. Depending on the situation, we may remove the color, neutralize unwanted tones, or strategically layer new color to restore balance and dimension. Results and timelines vary based on what was used and how many layers are present.

Box dye is unpredictable and difficult to remove. If you are unhappy with at-home results, call us. Our Color Correction experts can gently remove the dye and restore your hair, but we advise against experimenting further at home to avoid permanent damage.

Why did my hair turn orange or brassy after lightening?

«

Brassiness happens when underlying warm pigments are exposed during the lightening process. Correcting this may involve additional lightening, targeted toning, or rebalancing the color. The solution depends on your starting color and how light your hair can safely go.

Why did my blonde hair turn green after swimming in a pool?

«

Green tones are usually caused by minerals, especially copper, found in chlorinated water. The chlorine oxidizes the metal and allows it to bind to lightened or porous hair. This can often be corrected with a chelating or clarifying treatment, followed by proper toning. It’s common, and fixable.

Can color correction be done in one appointment?

«

Sometimes. Simpler corrections may be completed in one visit, but more complex situations often require multiple sessions to protect the health of your hair. During your consultation, we’ll outline what’s realistic and whether your goal can be achieved in stages.

How long does a color correction appointment take?

«

Color correction services can take several hours, depending on the complexity of the issue. Some appointments require most of the day. We’ll give you a clear time estimate before starting so you know what to expect.

Is hair color correction damaging?

«

Any chemical service can stress the hair, which is why technique and pacing matter. We prioritize hair health and may recommend bond-building treatments like K18 to help protect and strengthen your hair during the correction process.

Can you correct vivid or fantasy color back to natural?

«

Removing or transitioning vivid color back to a natural shade is a common type of color correction. The process depends on how your hair was initially prepared for the vivid color. Most fantasy shades are applied over lightened hair. That means when the vivid pigment is removed, your hair doesn’t return to its original natural color. Instead, it’s left very light — often a pale yellow or “banana peel” blonde.

From there, we would custom-build a natural-looking shade using multiple tones to recreate depth, warmth, and dimension. This step is essential for the hair to look believable and healthy, not flat or artificial.

Depending on the starting point, this process may take more than one appointment to achieve the most natural result safely.
