Bad color happens. But you don't have to live with it. With 30+ years of experience fixing every color situation imaginable, I'll get your hair where it needs to be, safely.
You looked in the mirror after your last color appointment and your heart sank. Maybe it came out orange. Maybe it's three different shades. Maybe your friend tried to help you go blonde at home and now you're afraid to leave the house. Whatever happened, you're not stuck with it.
Color correction is what I do. And after more than 30 years behind the chair, I've seen and fixed just about every color situation you can imagine.
Color correction is the process of fixing hair color that didn't turn out right. It's different from a regular color appointment because we're not starting from a clean canvas. We're working with what's already on your hair and figuring out the safest path to get you where you want to be.
Common reasons clients come to me for color correction in McKinney:
Not every stylist is equipped to handle color correction. It's one of the most technically demanding services in the industry. It requires an understanding of how different chemicals interact with each other and with your hair's natural pigment. It requires patience. And it requires the honesty to tell you what's realistic and what isn't.
At Moxi Hair Studio, I work one-on-one with no double-booking. Your correction gets my complete attention from start to finish. And because I've been doing this for over three decades, I can look at your hair and know exactly what needs to happen to get it right.
I need to see your hair in person. We'll talk about what happened, what you're hoping for, and I'll create a custom plan with clear pricing.
I use professional-grade products and Olaplex to protect your hair. We go at the pace your hair can handle. No rushing.
Whether it takes one session or three, you end up with healthy hair and a color you're proud to show off.
A standard color appointment takes 1 to 2 hours. Color correction can take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours depending on the complexity, and sometimes it requires more than one session spaced a few weeks apart.
That's because your hair can only handle so much processing in a single sitting. Rushing the process risks serious damage. I will always be honest with you about how many sessions it will take rather than trying to do everything at once and leaving you with fried, broken hair.

Every correction is different. Your consultation includes an honest assessment of what it will take and what it will cost.
"I was so frustrated with my hair after years of damage. Melissa created a plan to restore it, and now it's healthier and more beautiful than it's been in a decade. She genuinely cares."
If your hair color went wrong, you're not stuck with it. Here's what color correction actually involves and how to find the right person to fix it.
That nagging feeling after every appointment? Here are five signs your stylist isn't the right fit.
Color correction at Moxi Hair Studio is $55 per 30 minutes. The total cost depends on the complexity of the correction and how long it takes. Most corrections range from 2 to 6 hours per session. I'll give you a realistic estimate during your free consultation so you know what to expect.
It depends on what we're correcting. A simple toning issue might take 1 to 2 hours. A major correction, like removing years of box dye buildup or fixing severely damaged color, can take 4 to 6 hours and may require multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
Yes, but it takes time and patience. Box dye deposits color molecules that are harder to remove than professional formulas, and the buildup from multiple applications makes it more complex. I'll be honest about what's realistic and how many sessions it will take.
My top priority is your hair's health. I use Olaplex during every correction to protect the bond structure, and I will never push your hair past what it can safely handle in one session. Sometimes getting the result right means doing it in stages. That's better than rushing and ending up with damaged hair.
You might need color correction if your color looks brassy, orange, or green. Or if it's patchy, uneven, or streaky. Or if you used box dye and the result was much darker or different than expected. If you're not sure, book a free consultation and I'll take a look.
