Brassy blonde, banding, a box dye that went darker than the picture — color mistakes have a fix, but rarely a shortcut. At KAiMAK Hair Studio in Nişantaşı, corrections are diagnosed first and promised second, in fluent English.
Most corrections we see start the same way: a home bleach that stalled at orange, overlapping box dyes that built up into a dark band, highlights that turned yellow, or a salon job abroad that missed the brief. Each of these fails for a different chemical reason — so each needs a different route back.
That route is mapped in the chair, not guessed from a chart. We look at what is actually on your hair, layer by layer, and tell you plainly what one visit can achieve and what needs more time.
Dye history, elasticity and underlying pigment are examined first; the plan follows the evidence.
Where the history is unclear, a test strand shows how your hair responds before we treat the whole head.
A correction that leaves the hair wrecked is a failure. Lifting is dosed to what the fibre can take.
Send WhatsApp photos in daylight; we give a first honest read of the situation.
History, porosity and pigment are checked in person; the target is agreed together.
Cleansing, lifting or re-pigmenting — in one visit when safe, in stages when not.
Toner, bond care and a home routine keep the corrected shade from drifting back.
Many of our correction guests are travellers who decided to solve a long-standing color problem while in the city. If that's you, message us early and book the appointment near the start of your stay — it leaves room for a follow-up toner or care session before your flight home.
No two corrections involve the same amount of product, time or sessions, so the price can only be set after diagnosis. What we guarantee: you'll know the figure before we mix a single bowl.
In most cases, yes. Orange and brass mean the lift stopped at the warm pigment stage; depending on your hair's condition we either continue the lift safely or neutralise the warmth with the right toner. The diagnosis tells us which route your hair can take.
Usually, but box dye is the trickiest category: repeated layers build an uneven, resistant coating. Correction may involve a gentle color cleanse before anything else, and sometimes more than one visit. We'll tell you the realistic path after seeing the hair.
Sometimes — and when it isn't, forcing it would cost you your hair's integrity. After the in-chair diagnosis we tell you whether your target is a one-visit fix or a staged plan, and what you'll walk out with after each session.
Often yes, if we plan ahead. Message us photos before your trip and book for early in your stay; that way a follow-up toner or care session still fits before you fly. If your case genuinely needs months, we'll say so instead of rushing it.
Our first rule is that the fix must not become a second problem. Lifting strength and timing are dosed to what your fibre can handle, bond-protecting care runs alongside the process, and risky steps are moved to a later session rather than pushed through.
Send daylight photos of your hair on WhatsApp and get a straight answer about what can be fixed, and how.
