What Happens During a Professional Color Correction Appointment?
A color correction is not a simple service — it is a customized, strategic plan designed to fix unwanted tones, uneven color, banding, brassiness, over-processing, or previous color mistakes. Every correction is different because every hair history is different.
Here is exactly what happens during a professional color correction appointment at Fabi Pro Beauty:
Step 1: Detailed Consultation
Your appointment begins with an in-depth consultation.
During this time, your stylist evaluates your natural hair, existing color, previous formulas, extensions (if any), and your overall goals. This step is essential because every hair reacts differently depending on its history and condition.
Step 2: Hair + Scalp Analysis
Next, your stylist evaluates the elasticity, porosity, density, and overall health of your hair.
Your scalp is also checked for sensitivity or dryness.
These details determine which techniques, developers, and products can be safely used during your correction.
Step 3: Understanding Your Color Goal
Color corrections require realistic expectations.
Together, we decide what is achievable in one session and what may require multiple appointments. Your hair integrity always comes first — healthy hair lifts better and holds color longer.
Step 4: Customized Correction Plan
Your stylist chooses the safest and most effective approach based on your hair needs. This may include:
- Gentle color removal
- Root adjustments
- Balayage or foilayage for blending
- Toner or gloss corrections
- Filling the hair before going darker
- Neutralizing unwanted warmth or ash tones
Every step is tailored specifically for your starting point and end goal.
Step 5: Treatment + Hair Integrity Care
Color correction and hair health must go together.
Professional treatments (Olaplex, Milbon, deep hydration, bond builders) are used to protect the hair, rebuild strength, and prepare the strands for future services.
Step 6: Styling + Final Review
Your service finishes with a beautiful blowout and style so you can fully see the transformation.
Your stylist will walk you through:
- What was achieved today
- What the next steps are
- At-home care recommendations
- A maintenance schedule to keep your color balanced and healthy

You may need a correction if you notice:
- Uneven or patchy color
- Orange, yellow, or green tones
- Over-processed blonde
- Box dye build-up
