Let’s face it: color correction isn’t always perfect. It’s even more unpredictable with damaged or over-processed hair, so the result can be far from what you imagined. Hair texture, thickness, length, and previous hair dye will affect how your next color correction turns out.

Sammie Jones also relies on her instincts, experience, and a handful of luck when it comes to color correction services. Her viral TikTok video with 17 million views and tons of likes proves that her magic color correction recipe works so well that her fans are booking their next appointment with her in the comments! We at The Right Hairstyles are also joining the waitlist.

The color blocking technique is Michelin-starred among hair colorists for its vibrant contrast between hair hues that are meant to be equally striking. The technique involves sectioning the hair and choosing different colors for each section for a playful and expressive look. Sammie Jones opts for a copper brown base and a blonde front for a subtle but deft color transition. She also works with a single quadrant of blonde hair in the front as a variation on split hair coloring with darker and lighter sides.

The darker section is done in two steps – filler and color – to cover previously bleached ends and remove color bands. The lighter section is done in three steps – mids, roots and toner – for a naturally warmer tone and shine. The trick is to do both sections at once, so the hairstylist uses a little help from an assistant to get the dye to set before washing it all out.
