Color Correction on the Upper East Side
Color correction at Fabio's Hair & Color Studio is a problem-solving service for uneven tone, unwanted warmth, banding, overly dark color, compromised blonde or a major change from previous artificial color.
Fabio's Hair & Color Studio
A careful path from color problems to a beautiful, realistic result.
We begin by understanding exactly what is on the hair and what the hair can safely support. The plan may involve removing, filling, lightening, lowlighting, toning, treating or completing the change over multiple visits.
Our salon welcomes guests from Yorkville, Lenox Hill and nearby Manhattan neighborhoods. Every recommendation is personalized after seeing your hair in person.

What counts as a color correction?+
Any service requiring multiple technical steps to fix or substantially change existing artificial color may be considered a correction.
Can you remove black box dye in one day?+
Sometimes meaningful progress is possible, but a complete safe change may require stages. The answer depends on the dye history, buildup and condition.
How long does a correction take?+
Timing varies widely. Call before booking so the salon can assess the goal and reserve an appropriate consultation or appointment.
Why can’t the final price be quoted online?+
Corrective work depends on time, product, density, history and the number of steps. A reliable estimate requires evaluating the hair and goal.
What should I tell my colorist?+
Share every known chemical service and home-color product used. Accurate history helps us make safer decisions.
