Hair Color Correction

Hair Color Correction is a tricky business and Nicole Hudson recommends it only be attempted by an experienced professional hair color specialist.  It is not as simple as covering the old color with the color desired as strength of the new color must be altered to take into consideration the changes that will ensue when mixed with the old.  In the case where bleaches or other aggressive chemicals have been used in coloring the hair, long term damage to hair can be caused if using the wrong types of coloring agents.

Nicole Hudson has been using a range of tints, colors and agents to correct coloring for clients at her Cronulla salons for over 25 years.  She is a specialist that guarantees the best result possible for your color corrections.

What Is Involved In Hair Color Correction

What Is Involved In Hair Color Correction

Color Correction is a service created to correct hair color. You want a color refresh, a type change, back to your natural hair color or does the final color you have match your ideal? Then Color Correction is required for you!

Color correction may be necessary if …

… for example, if the color result appears to be different than desired by the use of third party tints or agents, the last hairdresser you visited did not give you the result desired or the sun and saltwater faded the coloration.

Imagine a situation where you wanted your hair dyed burgundy (maybe) and it turns out that it has been a disaster after you look in the mirror.  What a disaster and embarrassment for you. But do not worry, that’s not the end of your story. You can still get hair color correction and get the look you wanted at best or at worst a hair color that you can live with.  If the coloring is of the permanent kind it may be difficult to get exactly what you want but Nicole Hudson will consult with you to let you know what can be achieved.

Once again color correction is difficult and many hairdressers will not even attempt it but with her many years of experience internationally trained and celebrity hairdresser Nicole Hudson is there to give you the best results.  It is advisable not to attempt correction of your hair color on your own – but here are some of the steps to doing it –

How to correct hair color?

Before we go to correct the hair color, here’s a quick you of the things needed in the process. You would need a good shampoo, conditioner, semi-permanent hair color, and hair highlighting kit.  Nicole Hudson uses Olaplex and Bhave and her own bespoke range of range of high-quality, organic hair products with various colors  and treatments to ensure that you get as close to perfect colour correction the first time.

To begin with, the first thing you could probably do if attempting to do this at home is to use baking soda to wash your hair, provided that you have to correct the hair because of it being too dark or bright.

Nicole Hudson uses her own organic yoghurt based cleanser to ensure your hair is minimally impacted.  

Make a solution of equal height from baking soda and water with shampoo. Then after leaving it for about 10 minutes, rinse with a portion of baking soda and two parts of hot water at a tolerable temperature. This is a very common and popular remedy that has been approved by the salons as well as fade to color the hair.

If this is too difficult then what you can do is use a good shampoo with conditioner and good dandruff protection. Wash your hair more than once while keeping the shampoo for a few minutes before rinsing your hair for a good result.

Now in the situation where you have tried both solutions, and your desperation, still, to deal with the dreadful color, do not think twice, go to Nicole Hudson for a hair color correction consultation.

It is impossible to bring back bleached hair using the method above and long-term damage can be caused to your hair in attempting to do so.  It is recommended to consult with a hair specialist but if you insist on trying to remedy the color at home using natural tinting agents like black tea, cocoa or coffee would be the safest.  Mix the agent with natural yoghurt and make a thick paste. Mix it with your shampoo and apply it evenly. Let it sit for 5 minutes and rinse. Do this at least three times or until the desired darkening is achieved.

Hair Color Correction By Nicole Hudson

Here is an illustration of how to soften a deeper and darker color.

modern professional hair dressers

Apply light ash blonde to lighten or soften a bright or deep reddish. Served with a mousse that will be beneficial to the purpose of eliminating the tinny reds. Another thing you can do is, if you want a lighter shade, then apply extra virgin olive oil hot or any other hot oil treatment you want. For chemical coloring, heat is the best way to get rid of them. If you feel that the hair is too bright for your taste, just darken the color with the help of a semi-permanent color. But keep in mind that the semi-permanent color should be at least two shades darker than the original.

Hair color correction is a fine art especially with red and other darker hues. If you want funky colors other than your natural hair color you can always go for hair colors but remember to take all the necessary hair care precautions.

For best output during color correction, Nicole Hudson Hair Color Correction Specialist does the best.

The organic colours and treatments that Nicole uses are amazing and my hair looks fantastic! Thanks Nicole and team

Marisa (Sylvania)

Thank you Nicole and Capri for providing excellent service. I always leave Indossa happy with my hair colour/cut and I've been visiting the salon for ten years! There's always a good vibe and Nicole keeps up to date with the latest hair trends and products. I look forward to my next visit.

Ann (Kograh)

Nicole is the best cutter and colour expert in Sydney....hands down!

Anonymous (Menai)

I think Nicole is hands down the best Hair stylist, colourist, cutter I have ever been too! This is why I travel to and keep going back to her. Her warm manner with her clients makes you feel valued like family. While it costs me more to travel to go and see her, at this point I would not trust anyone else with my hair. In my opinion she is wonderful at what she does.

Michelle (Yass)

Always leave the salon feeling relaxed and happy in the hands of Nicole.A true Yogi.

Carole (Cronulla)

Nicole, not only are you a fantastic hairdresser but you're a beautiful person. Thank you for excellent service! x

Ann (Kograh Bay)

Nicole knows what she is doing and I trust her completely. When you have long hair and want to keep it a lot of other hair dressers just cut too much. Nicole knows how to cut and what to cut and the colour is amazing. Thank you Nicole.

Tanya

I have been a client of Nicole's for 7 years. She has taken me from a blonde to a red and recently back to blonde again. Nicole looked after my hair during my time on 'So You Think You Can Dance', where I was constantly having my hair styled.

Chanelle Johnson

I never have any preconceived notions about how I am going to look on leaving Nicole's salon. I usually leave it up to Nicole to decide on what I am having. Never have I been disappointed, always fun, never dull and great results.

Toni (loyal client of 15 years)

Thank you Nicole Hudson for our fabulous hair @Indossa x

Yvonne Tozzi

Nicole, Thankyou for the follow up. I am delighted with my hair colour and cut, can’t stop raving about you and your salon. See you in about seven weeks.

Barbara

My beauty and body secrets - I credit my hair colour to: “A few different people. I go to Nicole Hudson at Indossa in Cronulla, right near my house (she's very good with blondes), and sometimes I'll go to Valonz in Paddington. In New York I go to Sally Hershberger.”

Cheyenne Tozzi

Cannot thank you guys enough for the care and attention you gave me and my granddaughter River. My hair was a disaster when I walked in, but when I walked out it was amazing. So so happy. What an awesome result!!! Thanks so much Nicole 😁

Kelly-Elizabeth Rosman

I love, love, love my new hair. Nicole has done a beautiful job, she completely listened to me, couldn’t rate her more highly

Wendy Keene

Nicole Hudson and Capre are terrific. Nicole fixed a really bad hair cut and I could hardly recognise myself - in a good way. The salon is gorgeous as are the lovely staff. Good value for money as well.

Saeran Adams

In Cronulla for the weekend and came to the amazing Nicole Hudson for a trim and blow dry ... she is a magician xxx

Deb Deane

Had an absolutely amazing experience today at Nicole Hudson Hair. The ladies were extremely supportive, precise, and the results were fantastic. Never been happier!

Baleigh Gorman

Couldn't be happier, I took off about 8 inches of hair and was very nervous about the change but Nicole and her young apprentice were wonderful and made me forget about the nerves all together. Very well priced and great service, I couldn't recommend her enough.

Alix Forst

Amazing first time at the salon today and the cut and colour i am in love with thanks Nicole

Latisa Valerie Medic

Prior to seeing Nicole, I hadn't been able to grow my hair, it was really damaged and parts of my hair had snapped off. Since I have been coming here, (over 1.5 years), not only do I always leave with an amazing fresh blonde colour but my hair is healthy and has also grown so much. Nicole and Capre are amazing x

Paige McDonald

Nicole is a very special hairdresser who is upto date with the latest colour, products and style..My hair is always in great condition and my colour is always on point. Thank you Nicole for your passion & creativeness that you give to me x

Kathy Kalogiannis

So I reckon you know how good a hairdresser is by how your hair looks when u have to do it yourself. I love my hair and I can actually achieve a similar look 😬. Great cu colour and look!

Amanda Bailey

Nicole always works her magic!! A true professional !

Ronelle Adams

Gorgeous Nicole Hudson, Thank you for always fitting me in at bizarre times, 20yrs n you always do an amazing job, You Are the best true professional n friend 💛U Xx

Nicole Watson

Nicole has been my stylist for years and I trust her completely with my hair! Her colours are beautiful and she always stays one step ahead with fresh ideas. I always leave feeling great!

Jo Wilton

Nicole has been doing my hair for nearly 15 years now, and has kept it beautiful through periods of high work stress, two pregnancies and an unfortunate over-reliance on my hair dryer. She doesn't mind me booting up the laptop to work away while she transforms my hair each time, and now my daughter loves coming with me to have her hair done by Capre.

Leonie Wilkinson

I was lucky to be squeezed in late on a Friday for a makeup appointment, and needed some shampoo/conditioner. The girls were lovely but the shampoo/conditioner is the first one I've used EVER that makes my hair look good dried naturally, no straightener. I thought I needed a keratin treatment but not anymore. Best conditioner ever.

Ally Mahoney

Nicole is honestly the best hairdresser that I have come across in such a long time. After moving to Sydney and testing and trying countless salons that honestly just destroyed my hair, I went and thought I would give Nicole's salon a try and she is honestly a miracle worker. I went in with orange/fluro yuck ends and she completely cleaned it up while maintaining my natural hair to create something beautiful!

Jaime-Lee Digby

So nice to finally find the amazing Nicole Hudson, the only woman who is able to actually do blondes to perfection!!! If you haven't already, book in today!!!!

Bilinda Turner

Nicole is by far the best hairdresser I've ever been to. I knew she had a lot of female customers and she is very popular among the girls with her world class designs, but guys, I've never felt so good after a hair cut. Not only this but the service, the atmosphere and the fact that she gets it right every time make me come from the Eastern Suburbs at least once a month. What a find! I have no hesitation in recommending this outstanding salon and it's charming and very talented owner to anyone. A true professional. I'm hooked.

Doc Martin

Where do I even begin to thank you for my AH-MAZING hair. Previous hairdressers just wouldn't get it right, I have never walked out of a salon and been happy with both the cut and colour ! You are extremely gifted, I am so happy my beautiful Aunty introduced you into my life lol!! Thank you Nicole!!!

Cathy Allotta

Excellent service - great hairstyle

Always 5 Star service with Nicole. Nothing is too much trouble. Does great colour and cut. She is the only hairdresser in my life where I have not had to go home after and re-blow dried my hair to how I like it ! Been going to Nicole for almost 12 years now !!

Julie Scott

Nicole was recommended to me by a friend after my recent move to the area. Nicole does not disappoint, she understood what I wanted and executed my cut beautifully. Her friendly staff are also very welcoming and attentive. I think it is safe to say I have found my new hairdresser.
