What to Expect When You’re Transforming: A Color Correction Guide

Changing your hair color is exhilarating. Whether you’re reversing a DIY disaster or finally going for that platinum blonde you’ve pinned a thousand times, color corrections are the deep end of the salon world. And NUOVO in Sarasota, Florida is where you want to dive in.

We don’t just fix hair, we craft transformations. And like any masterpiece, it takes time, trust and a whole lot of Aveda magic.

First things first: What is a color correction?

Great question. A color correction is any service that adjusts or reverses previous hair color. Think brassiness, uneven tones, over-processed blonde or that box dye that didn’t quite “espresso brown” the way it promised.

It can also mean going from very dark to very light (or vice versa), removing fashion color, or rebalancing color that’s faded unevenly. It’s science, art and a little bit of alchemy, and it’s never one-size-fits-all.

Your first reservation: the consultation

We always start with a thorough consultation. Our Aveda-trained artists will assess your hair’s condition, talk through your goals, and map out a custom plan. One that honors your dream color and your hair’s integrity. Because healthy hair always comes first.

Expect questions like:

  • What’s your hair color history?
  • Do you use at-home color or lighteners?
  • What’s your ideal outcome and your timeline?

Then, we set realistic expectations. Some corrections can be done in one reservation. Others need to be phased out over time.

Why trust NUOVO with your transformation?

Because we don’t do guesswork. Our stylists are highly trained in Aveda color theory, and our award-winning education program ensures they’re prepared for even the most complex color situations.

And this isn’t just about fixing what’s broken. It’s about getting your hair to a place where it feels as fabulous as it looks. That means damage control, bond-building treatments, protein-rich masques, and, yes, education on what to use at home between visits.

For example, we may recommend the Aveda Botanical Repair™ Strengthening Leave-In to help reinforce fragile strands post-service. It’s lightweight, silicone-free, and leaves your hair stronger after every use.

And once your perfect shade is achieved? You’ll want to protect it. The Color Control Shampoo is one of our go-to favorites for locking in vibrancy and keeping your tone true, longer. Follow that up with the Nutriplenish™ Leave-In Conditioner, especially if your strands need a moisture surge without the weight. It’s like a green juice for your hair, only better smelling.

The real talk: patience, pricing & process

Color corrections take time. Sometimes hours. Sometimes multiple sessions. Trust us, it’s worth it. We’ll keep you comfy with refreshments, scalp massages and stylish vibes throughout.

Pricing is based on time, product and technique. Because each situation is so unique, we’ll give you a custom quote during your consultation. But rest assured, the investment is in your hair’s health and happiness.

And yes, you’ll absolutely need professional home care. That’s not just us being extra. It’s the key to keeping your results beautiful and your hair strong.

Before + After: The glow-up is real

We’ve seen it all and transformed it all. Washed-out red to honey beige. Splotchy ombré to seamless balayage. DIY bleach banding to silky brunette. At NUOVO, these aren’t horror stories. They’re origin stories. The moment your dream color becomes reality? Pure magic.
