Osborne Park Colour Corrections: Why We See So Many Box Dye Fixes

Osborne Park has a lot of the big pharmacy and supermarket chains nearby, which I think explains why we see a steady stream of box dye corrections from clients in the area. It's an easy trap — box colour is cheap and convenient, right up until the tone goes wrong or it reacts badly with a previous colour, and then it's a bigger, more expensive fix than if you'd come to a salon in the first place.

The core problem with box dye is that it's one-size-fits-all. It doesn't account for your natural level, your hair's porosity, or whatever colour is already sitting in there from past dye jobs. Salon colour, including our PPD-free Keune range, is mixed and applied based on an actual assessment of your hair, so the result is predictable instead of a bit of a gamble.

Common box dye problems we correct

•     Uneven or patchy colour from inconsistent application

•     Green or brassy tones from mismatched underlying pigment

•     Colour that's noticeably darker or more dramatic than the box promised

•     Dryness and damage from higher-strength developers used in home kits

If you're in Osborne Park and a box dye job hasn't turned out the way you hoped, it's worth a consult before trying to fix it yourself again — we can usually correct it in one or two sessions depending on how much colour is already built up.
