🌟 i’ve been watching your videos since waaaaay back in like 2014, never been a hairdresser, never had the urge to do so yet i still watch nearly every video and love them all 😂 they definitely help me tell my hairdresser what i want and you’ve saved my behind on toning my own hair!! love you!

[@poppeacockblog]

Your client's hair is where mine is now. I would love to see a video step by step of this. The result is gorgeous! You are so talented and generous with your knowledge!

[@jenniferortiz7963]

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I’ve been watching you for years and I’m now in Cosmetology/Barber school!! Career change prompted by quarantine. Thank you for the inspiring me!! You’re amazing!!💜💜💜

[@Mrjudsonjames]

✂️ 26+ years as a stylist. Been working on my own in a studio for the last 15 years and realised without fellow staff to learn from your skills can stagnate, videos of other professionals like yourself taking the time to share their work and talent helps keep mine fresh and the passion alive in my work. Keep it up. Especially as more of us leave salons for our own studios due to salon wages being generally so poor. Respect from Melbourne, Australia! 🙏🏾

[@juliaivanitskiy269]

🌟🌟 I love learning about the different techniques and formulas, I feel like I understand what my hairdresser is doing to my hair. I love it! 😍😍

[@veronicanailpolish7840]

Hi. Can you do a video for people with med/dark brown hair with highlights or multidimensional color on how to take care of it? Thanks.

[@PearlAndCookieYT]

✂️I love how you always simplify the formulas.....Keeping it simple is always best in my book. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are fantastic!!! I learn so much from your videos. ❤️

[@sabinekreuz]

[@mariannedonato4916]

🌟 I love you and so does my stylist! I do my own color and cut and go to her about twice a year for a full cut. She says I do a good job and I have some decent knowledge on blonding techniques and products and it’s mostly due to your education. So thank you and keep doing this!!! 💕💕💕

🌟 but I went to Avalon cosmetology school in 2013. I just want to say that I’ve been watching you since 2015 and I have learned from you better than I did with my instructors. I’m somebody who needs to hear things more than once but when you explain things it just makes perfect sense right away. So thank you so much for all of your hard work and time!

And I've also done my own cut for more than 10 years. Your videos are always fun to watch! Thanks for another great one!

[@MariaLuisaBeauty]

🌟I am not a hairdresser but I do my own highlights and have learned so much from you, that I actually don't like anyone coloring my hair because I can't find anyone that gets the same results I do in my area.

[@miasstuff1948]

🤩🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thank you! You are an absolute gem of an educator and so generous with your knowledge and time. Your videos have taken me from feeling down-in-the-dumps (as I can’t see my hairdresser due to Covid lock downs) to feeling happy and empowered again! You are a star! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰😘 (Also, FYI, I’m naturally a medium-dark blonde with highlights) From a fan in Australia. :D

✂️I absolutely love how you explain every single detail,I am currently a cosmetology apprentice I need about 4 more months to graduate. After 2 years working at great clips an only haircutting salon. Want to do color on the side . Thanks for the awesome videos you make for us that love this profession.

[@tracyramos1019]

✨ This is exactly what I was looking for, I do my own hair and want to tone down the warmth that I have like her and still keep highlights so thanks.

[@yacinellasbo9099]

What did you end up using? & how did it turn out?

[@tracyramos1019]

@@yacinellasbo9099 for my bleach hair I just ended up doing low lights in foil. I used Sally's generic shades EQ 8n and 8v and then toned with a 10v, I liked how it turned out. Next time I will just use a 8 v for my low lights because my natural roots are very ashy and I'm trying to let them grow out and just have highlights instead of the all over platinum I have.

[@cheriechetyrbok]

Talent! Such a beautiful result.

[@dolcevita713]

Step by step video would be awesome!!!! Great job! :). Thanks for your transparency.

[@erinsmith5809]

✨️I love watching these videos

[@blondemaleblog]

🌟 thank you for another informative video!

[@cheryllynn9301]

This video is so interesting to realize the steps involved in correcting highlights. I don't think the average hair stylist knows or has this kind of knowledge and that is why it is so difficult to get the color / tone that you really want. It just seems when you do go to a hair stylist, there are very few steps involved and I think some times more steps are needed based on expertise and knowledge of hair coloring.

[@chessicahullum2896]

✂️ since 2004, recently retired during COVID but still loving the hair education and techniques❤

[@nawalsworkshop]

I love your work, and have been following you for years, recently I’ve moved to Europe and here it’s impossible to find the redken toners, I manage to highlight my hair but I’m a bit struggling with the roots , can you please do an episode where you do the root smudge with normal dye? Thank you.

[@alicealfarue1]

Very informative Sylvia, thank you 😊

[@katrinagoodwin9398]

Hi Sylvia! Love your videos and recently subscribed. You are so great in explaining your processes. I have a question regarding the toner and root tap Shades EQ application in this video. Did you mix the Shades EQ color with the Shades EQ developer, or did you just mix the colors and apply without developer? Thanks in advance!

[@mjean-mq1dx]

⭐️⭐️⭐️ love your color!

[@TheAubreyMarie]

I wish we could see the process, not just pictures would really help!! XO

[@kayliemcclain9001]

When I got my hair done my roots weren’t lightened enough and she gave me a root tap and low lights. Well the low lights completely faded and my roots keep turning orange and I don’t want to spend $140 every 2-4 weeks just to keep my roots from being orange. What do I do??

[@tylayKing]

✂️I’m definitely newer to using Redken shades so this helped a lot

[@Ruth-nx3sf]

✂️ Ruth from Tracy California, I love watching your videos thank you.

[@deegornowicz6380]

🌟Thank you for explaining so clearly. :)

[@sabinekreuz]

I like that you kept it simple this time. And it looks just wonderful... Instead of the star I leave you one heart of mine and one for you. ❤️❤️ In the past you use also Goldwell. Would you maybe want to use Golwell again? I have the impression, since I switched more and more products to that, my hair stayes much more healthy.

[@Lala-hh8we]

This is beautiful video thank you

[@tracymarx3470]

Great video!! I’ve been struggling with this exact issue regarding a clients warm roots, can’t wait to try!✂️❤️

[@AlyssaPalmisano1980]

🌟 Although More for fun and I cut and color etc... my own hair ( Salon fried it 2 times 2 different salons 😳) So I trust myself and can’t get to your Salon or I would !! 👍 But I live in VT and I work a ton. So I started with my own hair then people would seek me out for haircuts and color etc... For free I’m just all about hair , products , beauty , style as well. But I’ve learned a ton from watching you on here 😬 loved the info in this video 💖

[@mrios723]

✂️ pro here. I been following you for years 😉❤️

[@hollyeichele7543]

Hi, HELP PLEASE! my daughter has is super blonde/platinum pieces in hair which she love but than there are some strand that took too brassy that she hates. I need to go through it and add some low lights to give her some depth like 6A and 7N .. when I weave the darker color in how do I not get that to bleed onto the blonde 😬 after I’m done what color toner would I use or do I even need a toner ? Thanks!

[@MeredithPerkinsMHD]

When you applied the level 6 base color, did you pull that all the way down to the ends? Or stop about where you did with the highlights?

[@Brownsuga1813]

🌟 just got my hair done...wanted my balayage to be brighter up higher, she added baby lights to my whole head and I don’t know how but the front of my hair is warm and orange and the back is sandy beige. She’s tried toning 2x since but it looks exactly the same...help me ☹️☹️☹️

[@susanr6850]

Hello , definitely has helped me clarify how wrong i've been applying color , ( honestly i'm sure i was doing everything opposite of how you explain your way about color correction 🤔 , LOL ) thanks for the info !!!

[@Rose-360]

🌟 I love this ! Do anyone know a place in the Netherland who can this also?? I want a natural blond but it always fails...

[@MegTips]

Do you use Olaplex during this multi step process and if so in what step(s)? ✂️

[@emmas9716]

Am sorry could you explain how going in back to back foils in the trouble spot.. do you mean slices or weaves?.. do you mean leave the trouble spot out? .. i kinda lost what you meant thx

[@maebandy]

I would love to see you with brows a shade or two lighter or just with less ash in them. I love the bolder shape you've adapted over the years, it adds structure that is complimentary to your natural beauty. I only wonder if the ash is draining your glow a bit. Just a thought experiment, if your loving your aesthetic ignore me, no really ignore me. I can't see you outside of your filming light and am just picking at perfection anyways.

[@sunshine3914]

She’s naturally gorgeous, but the brows are starting to look unnatural and they’re overpowering.

[@judisievers7684]

I’ve had my hair colored professionally (highlights) for many years. Now that the grey is appearing, I want to add grey highlights with my naturally medium brown hair. Two hairdressers have accomplished the look of the picture on the right in your video, but within 3 weeks, it’s turning brassy yellow. Is there a way for the toner to last longer or do I need to have a do over every month? Thanks

[@npc118]

Sometimes I get confused if my hair is brassy or just warm is that a dumb comment? I love this color. I use Fanola no yellow but it makes some of my hair too white so I just started using Fanola no orange. York thoughts on Fanola.

[@lafandenuel5605]

I wanna thank you for uploading one my favourite kind of videos while we are all confined here in Spain because of corona. It makes me feel better while entertained. Thank you Sylvia. Muito obrigado.🌟
