The North Hills Color Correction Guide | Craft Collective Salon Group

Color correction is one of the most technical, transformative services in professional beauty — and at Craft Collective Salon Group, it’s one of our specialties.

Whether you’ve experienced brassiness, banding, or over-processed ends, our North Hills stylists restore balance, tone, and integrity using a science-backed, sustainable approach.

Here’s your complete guide to understanding, planning, and maintaining a successful color correction.

1. What Color Correction Really Means

Color correction isn’t just about “fixing” a tone — it’s about rebuilding your hair’s balance. It involves one or more steps: removing unwanted pigment, replenishing missing color, or repairing structure.

Our stylists in Ross Township and McCandless begin with a full consultation and strand analysis before any corrective work begins. This ensures safety, predictability, and precision.

2. Common Color Challenges We Fix

• Brassy blondes from sun or product exposure

• Uneven tone bands from at-home box dyes

• Color fade caused by improper shampoo

• Over-lightened ends from repeated highlighting

• Unexpected undertones after lifting darker hues

  
  

We tailor every formula using Wella Professionals and Aveda systems — trusted for their pigment accuracy and conditioning results.

Step 1: Consultation and Diagnosis

Our process begins with a detailed color mapping session. Your stylist will assess existing tones, chemical history, and your hair’s condition.

We then identify the best path forward — sometimes through a multi-visit correction to maintain integrity. Sustainability and patience always deliver the best long-term results.

For those who want gradual, natural improvements, see Balayage for Brunettes in Ross Township.

Step 2: Rebalancing Tone

Once we understand what went wrong, we neutralize unwanted tones (like orange or yellow) using demi-permanent glosses or toners.

Our stylists love Wella Shinefinity for balanced reflect and R+Co Bleu’s De Luxe Reparative Oil for post-color softness.

This method adds radiance without stripping moisture — the same shine you’ll find in The Ultimate Guide to Hair Glossing in Pittsburgh’s North Hills.

Step 3: Structural Repair

Color correction can stress the hair, so bond rebuilding is non-negotiable. We integrate Wella FusionPlex and Aveda Botanical Repair into every service to restore strength at a molecular level.

For long-lasting results, we pair professional repair with at-home routines detailed in How to Choose the Right Shampoo for Colored Hair.

Step 4: The Finishing Gloss

Once balance and integrity are restored, we finish with a gloss for shine and protection.This seals the cuticle, locks in tone, and creates that luminous “Craft Collective” finish our North Hills clients love.

2. At-Home Maintenance

Even the best color correction requires ongoing care. We educate clients on maintaining tone and moisture with:

• R+Co Gemstone Shampoo & Conditioner

• Aveda Color Conserve or Nutriplenish

• R+Co Bleu Optical Illusion Oil for finishing shine

  
  

Avoid high-heat tools, chlorinated pools, and harsh clarifying shampoos during the first few weeks post-correction.
