Colour Correction in Hamburg

Turned out too dark, gone patchy, bleached to brass — colour that went wrong is upsetting, but almost always fixable. Corrections are part of our everyday work: we tell you before the appointment what's possible, and bring your colour where you want it, gently. In English, German or Spanish. You'll find us at Hegestraße 29 in Hamburg-Eppendorf, a few minutes' walk from the Eppendorfer Baum U-Bahn station (U3).

  • Green tinge after chlorine, hard water or ash tones
  • Grown-out highlights with a hard line

The process

The easiest way to start: message us on WhatsApp for an appointment — feel free to include a photo of your hair, it helps us plan enough time for you. The assessment happens in the salon: we check your hair, often with a strand test, and agree on the plan — what can happen in one appointment, and what is better done in stages. Protecting your hair always comes before a quick result.

Price & effort

There is no flat rate — a correction depends on what's on your hair and how much work it takes, so our price list shows it as "Colour Removal or Change — by effort". You'll get a realistic range in the consultation at the start of your appointment — before anything happens to your hair. Rule of thumb: a correction costs more than having the colour done properly in the first place — so come to us before you reach for the next box.

Why us

Colour correction takes experience with what's already on the hair — and a clear answer about what's achievable. That approach runs in the family: Roy Sutton trained at Vidal Sassoon in London, and the studio has stood for precise, natural results in Eppendorf for over 30 years. If you want light in your hair afterwards, our other specialty is natural-looking highlights. More about us and the salon on the English page.

Common questions

How much does a colour correction cost?

There is no flat rate — it depends on what's on your hair and how much work it takes, which is why our price list shows it as “Colour Removal or Change — by effort”. You'll get a realistic range in the consultation at the start of your appointment, before anything happens to your hair.

How long does a colour correction take?

Plan for several hours — typically three to five, depending on your starting point. Some corrections happen in one appointment; others we deliberately split into stages so the hair can recover in between. We'll tell you what's realistic after looking at your hair, often with a strand test.

Can you fix box dye that turned out too dark?

Usually yes — artificial pigment can be gently lifted and lightened step by step. How far we get in one appointment depends on what's already on the hair. One important thing: don't apply bleach or colour remover yourself in the meantime — it almost always makes the correction harder.

What should I do before my appointment?

Most importantly: stop colouring. Send us a WhatsApp photo of your hair in daylight and tell us what has been on it in recent months (colour, tint, bleach) — that helps us plan enough time. You'll find us at Hegestraße 29 in Hamburg-Eppendorf.
