Why fix your color at Epoch?
Use a color-safe shampoo, refresh with a toner as needed, and ask your stylist about the Amika and R+Co products we carry.
How do I care for it?
It depends on where your hair is now and where you want it to go. We will give you an honest plan at your consultation.
How many visits?
Call 312-224-1700, text 312-262-7997, or use our Contact page. We're at 1849 W. North Ave in Wicker Park, two blocks from the Damen Blue Line.
How do I book?
Brassy or orange tones, uneven or banded color, box dye, color that went too dark, and grown-out highlights that need blending.
What can you correct?
Often, yes. Box dye can be stubborn, so bring an honest history of what you have used and we will plan the safest approach together.
Can you fix box dye?
Yes. Corrective color always needs a consultation first, and consultations are always free.
Do I need a consultation?
Color correction is priced at your free consultation, since every case is different. Final pricing depends on length, thickness and product needed.
What does it cost?
We work carefully, and you can add a K-18 or Olaplex bond treatment for $50 to help protect your hair during color correction.

Color Correction FAQ
*A consultation is required before all corrective color services.
Your correction plan
Every color correction starts with a free consultation. Your colorist will look at your hair history, current color and the look you want, then build a step-by-step plan, timeline and price before any color goes on. Final pricing depends on hair length, thickness and product needed.
Your colorist will start with a quick hair analysis so we can plan a correction that fits your hair and your routine. We will chat through the following:
- What color, box dye or lightener is on your hair now?
- When was your hair last colored, and what went wrong?
- What result are you hoping for?
- Are you open to reaching your goal over more than one visit?
- What is your styling routine, and do you use heat tools daily?
- Would you like to add a K-18 or Olaplex bond treatment ($50)?
- Do you have any scalp sensitivities or conditions we should know about?
