Hair Colour Specialists on Sydney’s North Shore

Beautiful colour starts here.

Colour work is where our experience truly shows. We regularly help clients across Willoughby, Crows Nest, St Leonards and the wider North Shore who need more than a basic colour appointment.

That might mean correcting patchy balayage, fixing banding from previous colour, removing brassiness from blonde hair, or carefully repairing box dye mistakes. Colour correction takes patience, technical knowledge and realistic planning. We take the time to do it properly.

Every head of hair is different, which is why consultations matter. We assess your current colour, hair health, previous history and long-term goals before making recommendations that actually suit you.

Colour Work That’s Done Properly

Every transformation tells a story. From patchy balayage to dimensional blondes, explore how we restore balance, revive colour, and create hair that feels fresh, seamless and alive. This is where technical skill meets creativity.

Blonde Rescue & Brass Removal

Brassy blondes and yellow tones are one of the biggest concerns we hear from clients across Sydney’s North Shore. We specialise in restoring cleaner, brighter blondes that feel fresh again.

Patchy Balayage Fixes

Bad balayage can leave harsh lines, uneven blending and patchy sections throughout the hair. We carefully rebalance colour placement and tone for a softer, more seamless finish.

Beautiful, Seamless Colour by True Specialists

From soft lived-in blondes to major corrective work, we focus on colour that looks balanced, natural and wearable long after your appointment.

Box Dye Correction & Colour Rescue

"I have been having my hair cut by Karlo for 20 years. He is always accommodating and a pleasure to see. His cutting is professional and his knowledge of colour management is excellent. His rates are reasonable, unlike some of the salons where colour and cutting are done by different stylists. I recommend Karlo"

Frequently asked questions

Can you fix bad balayage or patchy hair colour?

Yes and we love a challenge! We regularly help clients across Willoughby, Crows Nest and Sydney’s North Shore fix patchy balayage, harsh lines, uneven blonde tones and colour that didn’t turn out as expected.
Every colour correction starts with assessing your hair history, current condition and long-term goals. We focus on restoring softer, more balanced colour while protecting the health of your hair throughout the process.

Do you specialise in fixing box dye mistakes?

Yes. Box dye correction is one of our most requested services at Studio on Willoughby. We help fix uneven colour, dark banding, unwanted red or orange tones and overprocessed hair caused by at-home colouring.

Correcting box dye properly often takes careful lifting, toning and colour balancing rather than simply applying more colour over the top. We focus on achieving healthier, more wearable results that grow out naturally.

How do I get rid of brassy blonde hair?

Brassy blonde hair is usually caused by warm yellow or orange undertones appearing after bleaching or lightening. At Studio on Willoughby, we specialise in blonde toning and brass removal for clients across Willoughby, St Leonards and the North Shore.

We use professional toners and colour balancing techniques to restore cleaner, brighter blondes while keeping your hair healthy and manageable.

What’s the difference between balayage and full hair colour?

Balayage creates softer, more natural dimension with a lower-maintenance grow-out compared to traditional full colour. It’s popular with clients wanting a more lived-in look that doesn’t require constant touch-ups.

Full colour is better suited for complete tonal changes, stronger coverage or grey blending. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best option based on your hair goals and maintenance preferences.

How long does colour correction usually take?

Every colour correction is different. Some can be improved in one appointment, while others require multiple sessions depending on previous colour history and hair condition. At Studio on Willoughby, we prioritise long-term hair health and realistic results rather than rushing aggressive corrections that can damage the hair.
