Colour Correction
History check, strand test and a written quote.
Hair colour correction in Athens, with a plan before every step.
Correction, when colour came out too dark, patchy, orange or yellow. Change, when you want something completely different, such as black to copper or red. Both start with an assessment and a strand test, so you know the plan, the time and the price in advance. We speak English.

Prices & times
All-Over Colour
Colour from root to ends, with a wash and dry. Permanent: any of our permanent colours, for full grey coverage or a change of shade. Demi-permanent: L’Oréal Dia Color, gentler on the hair, covers up to 70% grey, lasts up to 6 weeks and fades gradually, with no harsh line at the root.
Gloss & Tone
For faded lengths or first greys on natural hair: revives tone and adds shine, with a wash and dry. An ammonia-free acidic colour technology (L’Oréal Dia Light or Redken Shades EQ) that doesn’t lighten the hair. Also done as a root smudge or root melt: it gently blurs first greys at the root (about 10–40%) into the lengths, with no band of colour as the roots grow. It doesn’t fully cover grey.
Hair Protection for Lightening (add-on)
The L’Oréal Metal Detox pre-treatment spray before highlights or lightening, the first step of the Metal Detox protocol, to protect the hair.
Correction or colour change?
Colour correction is when colour didn’t turn out as it should: dark bands, colour that didn’t take, orange or yellow that won’t go. Colour change is when you want something completely different, such as dyed black to cherry cola. The work is similar, so both start with an assessment.
How it works
1. Assessment (€40, 30′): we look at your colour history and the condition of your hair, and do a strand test on a small hidden section. You get a written quote with the plan, time and price. If you book the work with us, the assessment fee is deducted.
2. Controlled lightening, only where needed: dark bands or old black are lifted to the base the final colour needs, without stressing the parts that are already right.
3. Colour by zone: a different formula for roots, lengths and ends, often finished with a gloss, so the result is even from root to ends.
Sometimes the safest route is two appointments. We tell you at the assessment, not halfway through.
Before & after
Questions
How much does colour correction cost?
It depends on your colour history and hair length, so we start with an assessment (€40). You get a written quote with a fixed price, and the assessment fee is deducted if you book the work with us.
Can I go from black to red or copper?
Usually yes. That is a colour change: controlled lightening, then the colour you want, like the cherry cola in the photos. At the assessment we see whether it takes one or two appointments.
What is a strand test?
A test on a small, hidden section before the work: we see how your hair lifts and takes colour, and how much it can handle. Your quote and timing are then based on your own hair.
How do I book an assessment?
Message us on WhatsApp or call +30 698 131 9000, ideally with a photo of your hair in daylight. The salon is at Erisichthonos 3-5, Thiseio, a five-minute walk from Thiseio metro.
