Color Correction can seem like a vague service - and we want to assure you there is nothing "wrong" with your hair. This service is extremely customized based on the hair's current color, how many times it has been lightened and the guest's desired result. Here are some tips to getting the most out of your color correction service at Joule Salon.

How do you charge for color correction?

​We charge by the hour for color correction. To determine what the hourly charge is refer to each stylist color re-touch charge. This is the hourly cost for a color correction service with your stylist. We schedule a base time of 2.5 hours then charge in 15 minute increments. During your consultation we will give you our best estimate of time to achieve your goal. It is important to note that hair can sometimes provide unexpected results causing adjustments to the service time or plan. Color Correction services are considered “all inclusive” meaning the price includes all steps and treatments throughout the service.

Why is Vivid Color in the same category as Color Correction?

​To achieve vivid color hair typically has to be pre-lightened considerably before we apply the vivid tone. It typically takes multiple lightening processes to achieve, and requires treatments to maintain the hair’s health. For this reason the service is similar to color correction.

Joule Salon is excited to announce that we have been named one of L'Oreal Professionnel's Top 100 Salons in the country. Owner, Lisa Rivoli sums up Joule's relationship to the brand:

“I have been working with L’Oreal Professionnel for over 20 years. I’ve tried many other brands and nothing really connected for me. Once I started working with L’Oreal Professionnel, everything just started making sense.

They have everything in their toolbox to help stylists succeed. The support that they offer the salon with innovation in hair color technology, education and loyalty rewards keeps me working with them… and the business building resources are phenomenal. The partnership with Summit Salon Business Center is invaluable. Really - the best in the industry is right there at my fingertips. It’s like one big family where everyone supports one another.

When I opened Joule, it was a no-brainer. I didn’t realize just how important it was to have a strong partner until I partnered with L’Oreal Professionnel. I believe my business and my stylists have grown faster, better and stronger because of L’Oreal Professionnel. We are lifelong partners, and I couldn’t be more honored to be recognized as a Top 100 Salon.“

We took a survey among our stylists of the questions they encounter the most from their guests. Because if someone else has asked, likely another wants to know! Read on for a little Joule Salon Q&A on hair color…

What is the difference between balayage and ombre?

Larissa, Joule Creative Director and Educator, breaks it down, “balayage is a technique and ombre is a gradient of color. Balayage is when the color or lightener is hand-painted on to create natural, sun-kissed look with no obvious regrowth lines.”

I’m ready to go blonde, we can get that done in one appointment, right?

Maybe! It depends on how your hair has been colored previously. For example, if you have box dye in your hair, you will have to come in for multiple appointments for get to your desired goals. Master Stylist Alex says, “With the first appointment, if unsure about how the hair will react, we would do a test strand to see how possible their hair goal is. After the test strand, we would be able to figure out how many appointments it would take to transform their hair into their desired goal, while keeping the integrity of their hair strong.”
