Color Correction for Hair Salon

Why Hair Salon Needs Color Correction

In the Hair Salon sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Color Correction delivers measurable results that transform how hair salon professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Hair Salon

Hair salon video production transforms a service-based business into a visual brand — stylists are artists whose work disappears when the client walks out, making video the only way to build a lasting portfolio. Transformation videos (before/after color corrections, precision cuts, textured styles) are the highest-engagement format, with top salon content regularly reaching 100K+ views on Instagram Reels. The filming challenge is the salon environment: mixed lighting (natural windows plus artificial stations), constant movement, and background noise from dryers and music. A dedicated filming station with controlled lighting and a neutral backdrop solves this for portfolio content. Stylist introduction videos build personal connection — clients book specific stylists, not just a salon. Distribution is Instagram-dominant (85% of salon discovery), followed by TikTok and Google Business Profile. Monthly content budgets run 600-2,000 euros for 8-15 short clips plus 1-2 longer transformation videos.

Video Challenges in Hair Salon

Demonstrating Transformation in Motion

Beauty is about transformation — and transformation is inherently cinematic. 67% of beauty consumers say video tutorials influence their purchases. The challenge is capturing skin textures, color accuracy, and application techniques with studio-grade precision while maintaining an authentic, relatable feel.

The beauty industry moves at TikTok speed: trending looks, seasonal collections, and influencer collaborations demand rapid content production. Before/after formats, ASMR textures, and tutorial-style content each require specialized filming techniques and lighting setups.

Our Color Correction Process

Color Grading Process

1. Color Analysis: We review all footage, identify exposure/white balance issues, and establish the target look with mood references and LUT exploration.

2. Primary Correction: Exposure normalization, white balance correction, and overall color balance across all shots for consistency.

3. Creative Grade: Scene-by-scene color grading to achieve the desired mood, with custom power windows, secondary corrections, and film emulation.

4. Final QC: Broadcast compliance check (if needed), HDR/SDR delivery, and export of custom LUTs for future use.

What Makes Color Correction Unique

Etalonnage (color finishing) is the final technical pass that ensures your graded footage meets broadcast, cinema, or streaming delivery standards. We verify gamut compliance, check for illegal colors, set peak white and black levels, apply trim passes for HDR-to-SDR conversion, and ensure consistency from the first shot to the last. This service typically follows creative grading and is essential for projects destined for TV broadcast (EBU R128 compliance), theatrical release (DCI spec), or platform delivery (Netflix, Amazon specs). Turnaround is 1-2 days for short-form, 3-5 days for features. We provide a QC report with every delivery.
