Color correction is a crucial step in the world of professional hairdressing. Whether it’s the result of a failed dye at home, an uneven wash, or a tone error, it is essential to adopt the right techniques to regain radiant, harmonious and healthy hair. At NYM Coiffure, we master the art of color correction with precision and care, to offer each client an impeccable and long-lasting result.
Understanding the Common Causes of a Failed Color
Before intervening, it is important to identify the most common causes that lead to a color correction :
- Use of low-quality products
- Incompatibility between the chosen color and the natural base of the hair
- Poorly respected exposure time
- Layering of multiple chemical dyes
- Poorly controlled discoloration

What are the most effective techniques?
Hair color correction can involve several techniques, depending on the problem identified and the condition of the hair. Here are the main practices used by professionals:
✅ 1. Gentle Pickling
Used to remove a dye that is too dark or to restore a neutral base to the hair. This process must be handled with care so as not to damage the hair fiber.
✅ 2. Neutralizing unwanted reflections
Thanks to colorimetry, opposite pigments are applied to correct a reflection that is too yellow, orange or greenish.
- Yellow → Purple
- Orange → blue
- Green → Red
✅ 3. Re-pigmentation
For hair that is too faded or over-lightened, this technique allows you to reintroduce the missing pigments before applying the final color.
✅ 4. Targeted application of the new shade
Once the preliminary steps have been completed, a personalized professional hair dye is applied, adapted to the complexion, style and health of the hair.
