8 Hours Later and it's Still NOT Perfect! Black Roots, Banding and EXTREME Breakage to White Blonde

[@NK-wk8zv]

People, please stop with the negative comments... I understand that everyone has their own opinions about hair color choices, but it’s important to remember that beauty and self-expression are incredibly personal. The stylist likely worked closely with the client to achieve a look that she felt confident and happy with. While going blonde from dark hair can be a challenging process, many people choose to take that journey because it makes them feel great-and that’s what really matters. Hair is an ever-evolving canvas, and as long as the person wearing it loves the result, that’s what counts. Instead of focusing on why someone “shouldn’t” do something, let’s celebrate the fact that they’re embracing a style that resonates with them. Everyone deserves to feel beautiful in their own way, without judgment or criticism.

This ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@Aurora_262]

She asked the question. We answered it, favorable or not. Perhaps she shouldn't ask if she can't handle people's answers? Just because you think one way, doesn't mean we all do. That's a harsh bit of reality you should try and understand.

[@NK-wk8zv]

@@Aurora_262 I understand your perspective, and it’s absolutely fair that everyone has different opinions. However, my point was never to suggest that people shouldn’t answer a question honestly-it’s about how we choose to express those opinions. Offering constructive feedback is one thing, but delivering it in a way that feels dismissive or overly critical can undermine the confidence of the person asking. Being honest doesn’t mean we have to be harsh; kindness and respect go a long way, even when we disagree. It’s important to recognize that not everyone processes feedback the same way, and approaching discussions with empathy fosters a better environment for meaningful conversations. Encouraging individuality and self-expression doesn’t mean ignoring differing opinions-it simply means sharing them thoughtfully. At the end of the day, a little compassion can make all the difference. I think you should try to understand that too.

I’m a cosmetologist by trade and I’m mature enough to be tactful and diplomatic….but posting on social media, a public platform, comes with pros and cons… not everyone is going to express opinions with tact…in my opinion before posting one should have tough skin and brace oneself for honesty which can be brutal

I’m a Color Correction Specialist…..this kind of work is not easy….you have to take everything into account when doing a color correction….for me it’s the detailed explanation and steps…I love watching these videos from because color correction is complicated…some will never understand what we do….this is what those entering the industry should be looking at…if you call yourself a Colorist…at some point you will have to dabble in Color Correction…regardless of the outcome which I think in this case was excellent….I will always support and admire anyone in the industry who takes the hard road….this is a teachable experience no matter how much we think we know…you are of one of the greats!!

thats girls hair looked fried. i would be terrified it would all break off. kudos to you. and yes, charge what you are worth, especially with that much hair.. a daunting task to say the least!

[@queenning28]

If she pays $1000 every eight months, then it’s the same as me bleaching my black roots (Asian hair) every 6-8 weeks. It’s actually a bit cheaper. Bleaching black hair is not financially viable for everyone. My mum kindly gives me $100 very time I retouch my roots. My own monthly wage is not enough to support my regular trips to the salon. So thank you mum😂🙏

[@BobbyHairStudio]

It definitely adds up! It's so nice that your mom helps you out, that's amazing!

[@stuartnelson774]

Money wise it might work out similarly for you, but it's a MUCH higher risk of significant breakage than when you come in for regular retouches

[@jessvelahair]

I love this video! In regard to pricing, if the client knows the rate ahead of time, it’s fair! They are happy to pay it because it is worth it to them. I hope you don’t ever feel like you have to justify why your prices are set how they are! It’s a business. We only get to take home a percentage. We have to pay thousands in rent and product per MONTH. The general public that would be upset with $1000 hair doesn’t understand that not every stylist can do this, your client chose you (she could go anywhere at any price point), and she agreed to the price before booking. Anyway, you are worth every penny! Great job!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

I agree! It's nice when a client values quality and is happy to pay for it.

[@lolarian]

It amazes me how people underestimate that time is valuable. Seeing the sheer amount of hair your client has coupled with the darkness of her roots, it was definitely a high risk situation. 8 hours of complete devotion to one client is definitely back breaking and exhausting. You're a specialist and the pricing is understandable considering all the product, labor, and expertise given to one person.

[@Cupo666]

A colourist is a chemist working on one of the most integral parts of our appearance. Your expertise is absolutely worth the investment.

[@heidiadkins]

I just did one of these this week. Took me 12 hours total over 2 days. My back is wrecked and it was mentally exhausting. There was no way to accomplish it without all that effort. This is 100% worth what you're charging. Id love to see anyone complaining accomplish this faster or with no breakage in less time or with less product. It's just not possible with this client.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

I'm so glad you understand the process and the value!

[@starlite556]

So it took you 12 hours and 2 days and your back hurts but let's keep this in perspective you are not a doctor have no right to charge more than what a doctor would charge for an office visit. You became a Hairdresser in less than one year . Most Hairdressers go to Beauty College ,on the taxpayer's dime. A doctor spends many years of his life to become a doctor and a lot money.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

@@starlite556 this is such a bs filled response. None of the things you've said here are accurate.

[@EllieMay8069]

@heidiadkins May I ask how much you charged your client for the service?

[@AshleyB-xh1qh]

​@@starlite556you are clearly upset bc you can't afford a service like this and don't understand what goes into it. Why should a hairdresser pay to do your hair? That's ludicrous! Supplies, rent, etc factor into our pricing as they well should. We are also one of the only careers that are constantly taking new classes that come out of our own pockets and learning new ways to do better for you all. We take pride in our work and it's really discouraging when people don't value it the way they should. Usually they don't get it until they totally wreck their own hair then come to you to fix it (which we happily do, if it's possible at that point) and you have no idea what goes into that. The stress, the skill, the process, the products, the time, the way our hands and backs and becks are aching when we're done. And we don't charge more to charge more, we deserve to make enough to live just like the next person. People have no idea how much their really is to learn about hair, it would blow your mind. And, we're constantly learning more and adapting new techniques to stay relevant. Your comment was very unhelpful and uneducated. This hairdresser could charge wayy more too, she's AMAZING.

[@buffysmith4278]

I used to bleach my hair but it was so dry so I cut it off like a pixie. Now I just let it go back to my normal color. It looks so much healthier. I have never been so happy. It's nice to have hair that looks healthy.

[@pamelamorrisonn]

That's what I did on Oct 30th. Got the cut out to my 6 inch roots. Had about the same amount cut off. So much dead hair gone. Felt gross with it the past few months before and couldn't stand it anymore lol

[@happycamper4thewin]

Good grief, I can’t believe the negative comments! This was an extremely challenging case and she spent EIGHT HOURS on her! I am so impressed with the result and I would expect to pay this if I were the client. This was a complicated case involving equal parts of science, art, and experience. Well done, Katie!

[@Void_1984]

Haha welcome to the internet snowflakes

[@MrClauser29]

Great job! Don't apologize for your prices. In 8 hours you could have 3 or 4 customers depending on what service you do. It will be the same and you should get your products paid for that you use for the service. It can't be compared to a box dye from the drugstore for 10 dollars.

[@camden_96]

It's fair to say that this was a completely valid transaction (for the time and expertise), she chose this particular colourist, she agreed to the price, and she sat in the chair for the length of time necessary. I have no issue with that - although I do think that people in the hair industry take their customers for a ride; I would never pay 1k for a root touch up (personally, I don't have disposable income like that and couldn't justify it). But let's not forget that professional bleach, dye, and toner is gatekept behind owning a business related to hair. Colourists need to stop acting high and mighty with the 'ew, box dye, I can't believe anyone would do that' narrative when they have the market fixed in their favour. If those products were made available to everyone then a % of their clients would definitely be lost. It comes across as elitist - and to be honest if I were to get my hair done professionally and found they were giving me the 'stink face' when I mention box dye, the transaction would be over and I'm leaving. Sorry I can't buy professional brand dye and toner because it keeps your trade alive (and allows you to bag 1k from a single days work).

[@TheShizNat]

It’s impressive that you are sharing your knowledge with everyone. Your skill seems like 20 years worth of experience (I’m a hairstylist so I understand how much trial and error goes into perfecting color skills). Great communication on the realistic expectations, time spent, and correction, not perfection. Having healthy hair isn’t always prioritized by stylists/clients, I love that you took such care with protecting the hair.❤

[@BobbyHairStudio]

I really appreciate you understanding the amount of time and effort that goes into these kinds of transformations!

[@rachelhelman2098]

I'm a hairdresser in the UK, and while I think 1000 dollars is a lot of money, I also think well done for owning your worth. The client will have known the cost in advance, and the physical demands of what you are doing are huge. I totally commend you for your honesty here. Nice job 👏 👍

[@joyb264]

In the last few years of my long career, I have become more specialized in bleach work and correction. I didn't pursue it, but it came to me. And I enjoy your videos and have incorporated some of your techniques. I think 1k for 8 hours is quite reasonable, just for quantity and the banding effort. My trick is to encourage frequency if people get in within 4-5 weeks they get a very good price. It takes 2 hours from roots to style, trim every other visit. It saves me from needing 6 hours and 500+ every 12 weeks. I figure I make about the same amount of money, I work the same amount of hours, but it is less work and less time over all. And it reduces the chance of banding when working with 1/2-3/4" roots. Looks lovely and I always enjoying learning from you. Thank you

[@ratified7105]

Beautiful work! Your prices are fair considering eight long hours of tedious back breaking labour requiring total concentration

It definitely is a lot of work! I appreciate you saying that.

[@marileeashby8524]

Your transparency is sooo refreshing! Your knowledge and education is amazing! I love that you seriously say this is a correction and not perfection because as stylists we want perfection. I would have changed the toner as well but honestly this type of color correction is not for the faint of heart and their are just those individuals who want to be blonde. You are queen Katie, you should charge more personally but you are amazing

[@nikkichavez5085]

Thank You!! I am a hairdresser of 28years & I have so much respect for you! Price is always the most uncomfortable conversation for me too! Even when i am working 8-10 hours on a client im constantly thinking about the pricing & justification. But, like you said we are specialists and use top quality products because we care about the end result and the client! When the client shops around and finds someone to do it for half the price the next time & all her hair breaks off, that is when they appreciate us! Happy 2025 & thank you for your amazing videos ❤

[@UnBroken11100]

If someone is willingly to pay that much than let them. But be aware that her $140 per hour is the equivalent to a physician's salary in OB-GYN, family medicine, Pediatrics, Rheumatology, Critical Care, Psychiatry, Immunology etc... I personally wouldn't pay that much since having bad hair isn't life threatening, as a physician may have to face with a patient, but to each his own.

[@jessicathomas9935]

THANK YOU! I'm over here in awe reading all the comments stating $140/hr is fair and good pricing. I thought the same exact thing, she's not a lawyer or Dr saving someones life and where I'm sure she's great at what she does there's no justification in my book for a stylist charging that much

You charge exactly what it is worth! I’ve been a color specialist for 30 years and for what you do/did to this client/s, you charged what you needed to take care of your product and your hard work/time and expertise. Never worry about the haters, they have no idea what it takes and how friggin hard it is to work on a client with that type of challenging hair w/no breaks for over 8 hrs. ❤ My back hurts just watching it😂. Always love your honesty about your process with the client and your watchers. Its refreshing to see someone who doesn’t sugar coat the realities. Clients have extremely unrealistic ideas about what it takes to get these results. Keep up the great work!

[@joshuao4819]

Hi, I want to start by saying that I truly admire the work you do. This isn’t about hate at all. I just wanted to share my perspective on how challenging it can be when you’re starting out in the industry and how easy it is to feel discouraged. Back in the day, when I did hair at home, I charged £75 for a root bleach, banding, and breakage. That was 7 years ago. I eventually left hairdressing because the wages as a junior stylist were extremely low. Seeing the prices and the money being made now is just mind-blowing to me. I’m a civil servant now and probably wouldn’t change my career, but I find it all a bit crazy. Keep up the great work! ❤❤

[@chrysnotreally]

The woman does not suit blonde hair. Her own colour is way too dark. I think you performed a miracle. Most folk would not touch this. And needs about 6 inches off. Appreciate your doing what the client wants.

[@migwigpee0796]

Blond can definitely suit her but not platinum blonde. Let’s not deny blonde only bc a person is darker. SMH

[@heydia3087]

I don't get the platinum "Tagarian" blonde trend at all! Generally I don't get how you rather have blonde hair than healthy hair. In my opinion it always looks awful, when the hair is damaged. No amount of color correction (though very skillfully done 😊) can change that. I think maybe a darker blonde would suit her skin tone much better. But after all it's her choice. I hope she is happy with the result.

[@NK-wk8zv]

If she likes it, then good! Stop your hate comments

[@JaimeLynn119]

I don't think it suits her either... but im not a fan of light blonde hair.

Beautiful and so worth the cost!! I've done multiple color corrections, but it's how I learn more and more. I like to do hair on the side since my husband and I own a business, but I've kept my license up and live doing this! Such a beautiful blonde on incredibly dark hair. Bravo 👏👏

[@BeckiEpley41571]

Honestly… you are worth that amount. I have decently short hair/medium length. I have had red box dye on my hair for 30 years plus. I am by far not rich but when it comes to my hair as a female, it means a lot to me. I spent my teen years messing it up and I don’t have to do that now that I am a working adult. Back to my story, I went in to have my hair stripped of as much of that 30 years of coloring was left (probably only the last 3-5 years honestly) but it was a LONG process and very tedious. My stylist is very competent and knowledgeable yet she was doing strand tests and getting colleagues input as my hair was very damaged as well. She worked on my hair for 7 and a half hours to get me down to a nice light brown color with a lot of blonde highlights. It looked wonderful and I knew what she was charging prior. I paid a lot if I were just getting color but $540 was not a lot considering if you broke it up, I had about 4-5 different coloring processes to get me there. One color process at most salons is $100 plus. I was thankful and she worked hard and was on her feet for ages. You take chances when you’re CORRECTING and not just coloring. So many do not understand that situation. They are two totally different things. If you don’t want to spend that on your hair, then don’t , but trust me, if you want it done right and not lose all of your hair, then it’s 100% worth it!!!

[@mistywilson3520]

Wow! Your roots are so beautiful compared to her previous bleach. Amazing job! I paid 900 for my hair to be fixed after lockdown and I tried to be a stylist at home 🤪 totally messed up my hair, and the correction cost me. But you know what I was happy to pay that to get my hair fixed and looking good again. It took her 9 hours to fix my hair. I feel like I got a great deal.

[@mistybroadway5720]

Fellow hairdresser here, at my salon we charge $100 a hour plus add ons. Your prices are spot on! You didn't go to school and get your license and have 10yrs behind the chair for pennies! I think you did an amazing job. The client was happy. The only advice I have would be to do a bleach wash at the bowl to brighten the banding and bring it up more. Then I would do a pretone on the mids to almost the ends. With either a tonning shampoo or conditioner, this will fill the hair. That way you don't have to try and fill and tone at the same time. I hope that makes sense. I've done this many times and I feel you get a better result in the end. Overall I think you did an amazing job, totally enjoy your videos!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try that next time!

[@thanksmaddytv815]

When you say pretone, do you mean use a purple shampoo first to get a much warmth out then go ahead with the final toner? Would she soapcap the ends or a little above the banding to the ends?

[@mistybroadway5720]

We say bleach wash, it's the same as soapcap. But yes I would brighten the banding first, then go in with a purple or even blue based shampoo ( depending on how much warmth or orange you need to cancel)

[@mistybroadway5720]

Yes, after the soapcap on ends and mid shaft then purple or blue shampoo, continue with the toner of choice

You do your thing, girl, and you totally rock at it!! KEEP UP YOUR AMAZING WORK!! ❤❤❤

This turned out so beautifully! As a person who has had plenty of bleach damage/banding/etc and never got such a good result! A simple toner change is no big deal!!!

[@surferkat24]

absolutely incredible work. The time, effort, specifics of her hair, breakage, banding, etc... wow. Just wow. The end result was amazing!!!

[@NightSky90s]

I love how transparent you are about your work and how everything turned out at the end ✨

[@ursulaharmon9723]

I really appreciate your videos. You explain things well . I am glad when you said you can't fix everything in one visit.

[@TheBarbieBlueprint]

Wow! That’s a huge transformation. Loved the breakdown of the process in your video. Time and skill is money. 👏🏼💜

[@violetstarburst256]

Hair is a trade, and you're a rock star! I see the way you flutter around these heads like a hummingbird, never a moment wasted, always checking and correcting and scraping color, and for HOOOUUURRSS at a time! You pack so much information into these long videos, I can only imagine that you're telling your clients the same things. I know talking abt pricing is uncomfortable, but it's also SO IMPORTANT that we change the script so that we can move away from people having this idea of convenience-based, set prices in their mind, where anything that goes beyond "what they THINK you should be charging" is suddenly absolutely appalling.

I didn't read any of the bad comments, but people maybe don't understand those are standard prices in vancouver. I got a hair cut with mask and styling and paid 300$. Also if the client is ok then , good for the stylist! Everyone has the right to charge for their work what they are worth it. This work was incredible, with the amount of damage she had and hair, wow, it came out way better than what I expected 🎉

[@Germania72]

This is so satisfying to look at. I remember when I was little and loved watching the hairdresser section and cut hair. It's relaxing. Side note: she has a lot of hair.

[@joyceb8174]

You have an amazing talent and skill. Your repairing what others (be it stylist or client), charge what you are worth!

[@MChionchio]

You charge for your time, talent, knowledge, abilities, and honesty. Worth it.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

I'm so glad you see it that way! 🙏

[@MChionchio]

@@BobbyHairStudio Absolutely! I jumped on the gray hair bandwagon back in 2018. I have fine lv 3 already dyed hair. I understood those consequences and thought - I'm gonna pay a professional for this. That's a lot to take on as a colorist!

[@louisecruz2173]

You deserve every penny !!! That's hard work ❤

[@milenylamberti6]

Amazing work, very very impressive. please don't forget to show us the color banding correcting work when the client get back!!

[@sherithiede9333]

You are phenomenal… I just realized how much I miss doing hair and color

[@michellecrowley3749]

i love it and hopefully the client will start to get some serious cutting to hasten the grow out of the old. I'm at the age that i'll sacrifice length over healthy hair. There are some good cheapy extensions in the meantime :)

[@tanjafromaustria1981]

Some hairstylists would refuse to do such a makeover. Why can't people accept what they have instead of chemically destroy everything just for fun

[@SuzanneRobinette]

Perhaps because their expectations are a bit unrealistic.

[@aliciastalksessions]

Gurl you earned every penny .. I hope she tripped well

[@biffm.2806]

I just discovered your channel. I haven’t worked in the salon for a few years (just family at home), but it’s refreshing to see you work. You and I have very similar techniques 😊.

[@humbleberean]

I do see the banding, but WOW!! What an absolutely beautiful color!! Thank you so much for your knowledge in color!💞

[@sabzsoul8731]

No girl. CHARGE WHAT YOURE WORTH. AND DONT FEEL BAD ABOUT IT.

[@carbonwildflower]

You’re such a master! Watching you is so satisfying.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you! 🥰😘😍

[@ciaralauren6156]

AMAZING!!! THIS KIND OF WORK IS SO STRESSFUL AND ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE PRICE

[@lisatownsend4664]

Beautiful work. Hairstylist here. Definitely charge your worth.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thanks! It was a challenge for sure!

[@abigailphilips825]

Great hair costs money and you're not just paying for the products used, but the considerable expertise and experience this young lady has.

[@JacqLean]

Great job! I wish I would have gone to school, I have a natural attraction to coloring/cutting hair and sometimes I see a woman and think, "How amazing she would look with this xyz and a little of that..." I do cut hair for my neighbors and some friends and when they screw up their color they come to me. Only thing: I have to be in the mood. If not, it's just not fun for me. I could not imagine waking up and having to do hair all day. But when in the mood...!!!

[@strawberrybird7319]

I‘m still amazed by the crazy amount of hair she has! You took layers after layer, but it still looked like you clipped up the same amount every time 😂 I wished I had hair even close to that.

[@cinnabunrollx]

F the people who complain about the price. Originally I was like damn, a 1000 for that old job? But no, it was for the color correction and then it made sense to me. Your work is amazing and I think people who judge the pricing have never taken the time to do something with as much precision and care as you do. Personally, I can’t afford to pay 1000 to have someone else do my hair but if I could then I would totally do it to fix my hair. I feel like it’s totally justified how much you charge.

[@alethamobley6688]

Great amazing g work and thought prcess! I was a hairdresser for 40 years . loved doing color and correction.

[@Tirpse87]

A wonderful result! The roots truly ended up with such a perfect lift. The pricing is totally reasonable. Especially from a business point of view. Of course almost $1000 is a lot of money but it's also a big and time consuming service. And in the end your clients know that beforehand. People also don't buy cars expecting it to cost $200. We all know cars are expensive. Just like a full day service is expensive. At least in my opinion.

[@leighatouchton9705]

Thank you so much for everything you teach and explain! I appreciate your honesty and I’ve learned so much from you!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

I'm glad you're finding my videos helpful!

[@mama_keikei8081]

Somwomw needs to tellthis person platinum is not for her. Ya $1000 as a stylyia nice but the damage and her natural hair color is black! Crazy. Ypu worked miracles

[@jeromegibson3535]

I respect your price! It is a lot of work and knowledge that this takes! Beautiful job and the honesty is A plus because we are not expecting perfection because of that

[@krissiliskie3554]

As someone who would want preservation of integrity and length of hair, I would happily pay your prices to get such a quality service!

[@karra827coleen]

Do we really have to say "her hair her choice?" Nope. I only read a few of the comments. So I will say- What wonderful thick hair! The ending result is great. the client is so pretty, too! The prices... well I have paid over $300 for a single appointment, and I was getting high and low lights done on my very long curly hair. AND it was not a full 8 hours. So if the client is aware and chooses to pay that... Her choice, and the stylist with expertise to fix a hair issue can charge what she wants. My daughter has been a Stylist (a hairapist really) for over a year, not long, but it is wonderful to see her gaining experience and skills. And because I should: if I sit in her chair for a service, I pay for it. it is worth it because she is at work. I appreciate her time and her skill. If it is at home that is another story. But again, it comes down to this-It's my hair. My choice.

[@ghostiiiekun6636]

Price totally makes sense ! And you’re one of the best in the business! No one should question that 😊

[@d2finch]

Wow, you are worth your fees. Well done! Those roots are incredible. Love!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thanks! It was a challenging one!
