Hair Color Correction

Hair Color Correction: Top Banana Tucson hair color correction beauty salon and barber shop.
Top Banana offers Framesi Hair Color Services, - Including Hair Color Correction & Eclectic Hair Color

One  primary rule of color correction  is:
"color plus color"  ---------------           always goes darker.
"color on color"    ---------------           always goes darker.
"color over color" ---------------           always goes darker.
So unless you are using a product designed NOT to do this to you,
                                     like Framesi's 221 series color correcting hair color,
Do not expect to add color to your already colored hair and have it come out lighter. We don't care how you say it --- Standard  Hair Color added to Standard Hair Color always goes darker.

Framesi Hair Color: services include taking time for a consultation so we can discuss your hair color and help you choose the service that fits your lifestyle needs. We will help you choose from the Framesi color comparison chart offered in all of the Framesi Hair Color Lines.  When doing color correction there may be several options that you have not considered, simply because you do not do color correction on a regular basis. We will also advise you if your expectations are not realistic or exceed the ability of the products at our salon or the remaining capacity of your hair. Our first priority is to protect your hair as much as possible, while we correct your hair color.

Wrong Color?
Weather you just added a new color or decided the color you have had for the last year is just not right - there are more ways to change, fix up, repair or enhance than you may have thought about.  Did you know that color on color always (well almost always) goes darker?

Color Too Light?
Believe it or not this may be great news! It's a lot easier on you hair to go darker than to go lighter. In fact when we color correct we would rather come out too light than too dark just because it is easier to fix for both you and your hair. 

Dull Color?
The fastest temporary answer may be a spray shine products for instant luster -- especially if you have a n important engagement in 15 minutes. The right color shampoo can always brighten if you want to use it on a regular basis. The real answer is to change formulation get more shine and protect your hair with shampoos & conditioners designed to keep the luster an hair color in your hair.

Brassy Color
Honestly we don't add brassy to your hair. Then where does it come from? Here is what happens inside your hair. Most colors use peroxide to lift your color and develop the color you want to add. The warmest biggest -first to be attacked hair color molecule is the blue one - which just happens to hide your own brassy tone by "browning them out." When the peroxide dissolves your blue molecule you see your brassy color shining through. There are 3 ways of dealing with brassy:

• don't go brassy in the first place (use a developer that deposits with minimal to no lift) - and Yes we have been doing this for years. Men particularly like this because they are loose the grey and about 10 years, without the brassy give-a-way hair tones.
• add blue or ash tones to hide the brassy in your hair (ash-based and natural-base hair colors are designed do this.)
  Now you want to keep from using hair products that pull the bleu we just put in your hair from being pulled back out so the brassy stays gone .. or use a color shampoo that keeps replenishing the tones you hair keeps loosing when you shampoo.)
• take out all the brassy so there is none to see (take out all the color until your hair is past the brassy a stage and put back the color you want to see)

Color Too Dark?
Remember - color on color (almost always) goes darker. At this point we have a couple of options. Framesi 221 Series is a color designed to put on color an go LIGHTER!  This is one possible solution.

Some folks come in after coloring their hair to go lighter (but ending up darker).  Then trying again and going even darker!! To fix your hair color when your color is to dark one solution is bleach, another is Vanish Color Remover

Permanent color need not to be permanent.

• If you are allergic to sulfur this product is NOT for you.
• Vanish offers Color correction without stress or damage.
• Vanish gently reduces the size of color molecules, allowing the color to be washed
   away, with no damage to the hair.
• VANISH™ does not contain peroxide, bleach, or ammonia
  (however the last step requires a 10 volume peroxide)
  
• VANISH™ does not affect the natural color of the hair,
  so permanent or semi permanent hair color can be applied the same day.
• VANISH™ reverses the oxidation of permanent hair color.
• You may re-apply VANISH™ to 3 times a day

This process also requires heat from an overhead dryer.

If you need to we can do additional color correction after removing the color you no longer want. This will require a strand test to be sure we are not going too dark. (Your Natural Color + whatever color the treatment Vansih did not get out + any new additional color we add, will give you your end color. To be sure we are not going back too dark again we strand test.

Vanish will take some colors of black hair and bring them up to a dark brown in one application. We are limited to 3 applications of Vanish per day.

Bleach: Bleach is a combination of a lifting agent (usually peroxide but sometimes enzymes) and a boosting agent that, when combined can go inside your hair shaft and and break down color molecules until you eye can no longer see any color. If you have already colored you hair several times in an attempt to correct your color yourself, and - you color is still not right you must be careful. Each process you have done, -- has weakened your hair slightly. Several processes may bring the sum of this damage to a high enough level that it is now significant. The bleaching process may melt off your, already damaged hair, before it removes the color.  Remember hair bleach is designed to remove your natural hair color pigments. Now you are asking it to remove any remaining natural pigment and all of the unwanted artificial hair color pigments you added along the way.
