Do I need hair colour correction? Common hair colour problems include:
- Box hair dyes have left you with patchy results
- At-home bleach or peroxide job
- Your hair has a slight green or orange tint
We know how traumatic a hair colour disaster can be. But please don't attempt a quick fix at home, as this can sometimes make the problem worse. It’s important to seek the advice of professionals as soon as possible, so contact us and we'll get you in as soon as we can. Please don't be too ashamed to give us a call!
If your blonde hair looks brassy
Hair that is improperly bleached or bleached hair that is overexposed to the sun can turn orange. We can correct brassy tones by using professional products and treatments to neutralize yellow or orange tones. Depending on the extent of the problem, this may be as simple as an in salon toning treatment vs a corrective color service. A toner is applied at the sink after hair is shampoos, and rinsed after a few minutes.
If your hair dye turned out too dark
A drug store box dye disaster can result in an unnatural, shoe polish looking hair color. We can lift out unwanted color and/or add highlights or lowlights to create the look of natural dimension. First the old color should be lifted before we can start adding highlights or lowlights, if needed.
If hair is too light or damaged from bleaching
There is a big difference between too light and overly processed or damaged hair which is why you should consult an expert. If your hair colour is too light but in good condition, we can apply a single process colour to darken the hair and give it an all over shine. If your hair is overly processed, we will need to take a different approach which may include a bond building treatments or splitting your colour correction services into multiple steps.
If a home balayage has gone wrong
If you tried a home highlighting kit and you don't look like the model on the box, please book a consultation. Using a combination of highlights, lowlights, a toner or color gloss, we can blend in harsh colors and offset unwanted shades.
Colour Balancing
Is your hair colour too dark? We can lighten it with highlights. Is your hair too light? We can add a darker colour or warmer shade lowlights. Whatever hair colour problem you have, we can fix it! During your consultation, we can assess your hair colour shade and one of our expert colourists can advise you on how we can correct your hair colour disaster and achieve the colour that you want.
Colour Removal
If you want your disaster hair colour completely removed, then we do provide colour removal services. However, the use of colour remover on your hair is as harsh as bleach so this would need to be discussed over a colour correction consultation. Whatever the hair colour problem, we’re sure to find the hair colour solution.
Book an Appointment or Consultation
Whether you're interested in balayage, highlights, grey coverage, grey blending, or a complete colour transformation, our team would love to help.

Had my hair done by Renato and I couldnt be happier. He did a beautiful job with grey blending. The color loos so soft and blends beautifully. My hair feels healthy and is alot easier to style now. Renato really listened to what I wanted and I highly recommend him.
What an amazing place. First time i did grey blending so obviously I was nervous not knowing what to expect. Renato explained options clearly, kept my base and added soft seamless highlights so that maintenance could be kept at a minimum. Hair feels so healthy and his cut has great shape and movemen...t. Ive already booked my next two appointments. Thank you Renato! read more
Always a pleasure to go to Fortelli. I adore the downtown location on Lakshore- upscale and still friendly small-town. Melissa is such a sweetie - so personable and very caring with top quality colour and cutting skills, not to mention beautiful blow dry and finishing. Approachable owner checking in... on everyone provides the professional sincere touch. I love the relaxing vibe and always leave feeling pampered and pretty. read more

I just wanted to take a moment to say how much I LOVE my hair! It is so soft and silky smooth, and the colour looks so natural! I just wanted to take the time to say THANK-YOU to Daniela!
My hair and colour looked great! Maggie is amazing, it felt good to get a cut and colour after many months. The salon was clean and you felt comfortable in there with your coat covered in plastic and the staff always cleaning.

After years of searching for a studio with skilled staff and high quality hair products, Fortelli hits the mark. I’ve been a client for the past 5 years and have *never* had a bad experience. I have long, very dark hair with layers of color on it, but when I decided to go lighter, Melissa took me do...wn without compromising the integrity of my hair and achieved the exact look I was going for. The time is taken to really listen and consult before each appointment. I visit every 6 weeks, not because I need to, but because it is truly a great, relaxing experience and they keep my hair looking fresh and super healthy. read more

Easily the best cut & colour I've had in years. Thrilled to find a stylist who has a plan for dealing with my impossible, post-chemo hair.
Renato was excellent! He really listened to me. My colour is fantastic. The staff were very welcoming and I will definitely be a repeat client!
