Color Correction: the Good, the Bad & the Ugly - Transformation Tutorial & Where I Went Wrong

Happy New Year! I hope you all enjoyed your holidays and NYE celebrations! Today I have quite the video for you all. This is not necessarily a "how to" because there are things I would change here, myself. But I do believe in honesty and in learning experiences. so without further ado, here is the first video of 2024 "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"

[@KellyJelly9976]

I am not a hair stylist, but I love watching and listening to you work. You are so knowledgeable and open to sharing that knowledge. There is something to be said for understanding color theory and formulating accurately with this knowledge. Your humility when it comes to sharing where you may have gone a bit awry is admirable. I love your vids!!!!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you so much!

[@ShanShan-kw9hi]

You are easily my favourite hair channel to watch. Keep the videos coming and I know you will be growing your subs girl!!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you I appreciate that!

[@priscilladeoliveira6387]

Your honesty is reason enough to give you my 👍

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you! ♥️♥️

[@irishaoife31]

Love your videos. You are so talented. And I love seeing difficult processes like this, it's important for everyone to understand that colouring hair is complex, particularly blonding. Wishing you continued success in 2024 x

[@mikaanderson1690]

I just love you and your channel. Real, raw unedited footage that I appreciate. This is reality behind the chair and sometimes you have to really think on your feet. I appreciate you!! ❤

[@lolarian]

honestly I'm always blown away by the afters! her hair looks amazing for what she originally came in with plus the difficulty of the correction. Just watching you weave out the blonde from the darker sections is insane enough! amazing job!

[@maddycanfly7217]

This is the best Chanel on colour !Your honesty in the time and effort that goes into platinums and colour correcteur is # 1 . These are great videos for us to show a client who sees this on instagram and thinks she’s getting out of the salon In couple heures 👍

[@ina.beauty]

what a beautiful result!!!

[@YoureMyBlueSky2022]

Wow, Katie - that was a crazy amount of work! Seven hours sounds exhausting. I'm not a stylist, but I love to watch you explain why certain things worked or didn't work. Corrective color is an art as well as a science. I think your results were great here! Happy New Year! xo

[@splendidcolors]

I'm so glad to see this after the work I've been doing to color correct my own hair.

[@realmms]

Wow ! Happy New Year! What an amazing transformation!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you! You too! ♥️♥️

[@brandygriffiss]

😒these are the longest days at work.......so stressful!! I applaud you 👏👏you did a great recovery. Happy New Year!!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you so much, Brandy! It is a loooong day but they pay off (for the most part!) HNY to you too 🥰♥️🥰♥️

[@sadiegeoghegan5962]

I like how honest you are I think we all times have things that don't work out how we wanted I work by myself in a small home salon so these videos help me a lot I do get a bit stressed trying new things thanks for showing your real work good and not so good bits

[@angiehutson4317]

Looks amazing, compared to the beginning of the process. Amazing job!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@clairespin]

You did a beautiful job! Love your videos and expertise :)

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you so much!

[@liespeuk]

Its insane how precise you are. When you said 7/10 i gasped i think it looks gorgeous

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Oh thank you so much! There's a decent amount I would like to do to it to improve it further but these things take time and for the amount of time we spent on this, I'm decently happy with the results

[@poobd]

Ive learned so much from your channel, thank you! I just do at home bleach and color for my sister, im self taught and destroyed my own hair enoigh to not destroy hers but ive learned some really efficent timing and blending techniques from you thats made my work on her hair a lot nicer! :)

[@BobbyHairStudio]

You are so welcome!

[@melissagreen_]

It's nice to have my own methods validated and gives me confidence, I like the idea of 'spot toning' because sometimes you do get little areas that aren't quite the tone you want but you don't want to go back and do the whole head and also, I've sometimes used a flash high lift to remove overtoned pieces, so the colour remover is a great idea for ends that still have old toner in them.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jocelynmartinez3603]

Wow love how honest you are throughout the process. Hair can be really challenging.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you so much! It really can be!

[@ghostiiiekun6636]

7 and a half hours is not bad at all 😊 you’re amazing

[@quietthemind]

you make me want to be a hairstylist....im not there to fully commit but these videos are amazing! i wish i could take my mom to you!!

[@alexkalamaras195]

Amazing transformation!!!!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you!!

[@angelicovers]

happy new year!!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Happy new year!! ♥️

[@colors_in_noise]

Love this, I go low and slow at home because I have well water and any residue in my hair amps up the vol of developer. I like blondeme 7 vol.

[@anthonya910]

You did a great job.

[@pinkopallinu9084]

Beautiful work

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you very much!

[@kearabevels]

I feel like as a stylist, if my clients hair is strong enough even though If the mids and ends were bleached previously, I would just use olaplex or k18 and just do the dark uncolored strands and lighten as far as I can get it it one session. I can see doing multiple sessions of a clients hair is overprocessed or is delicate to begin with. I’ve done blonding in one service even with stubborn hair. Service turned out nice though 😊❤

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Yeah that's pretty much the goal here! ♥️

[@EsmeraldaWolfsbane7777]

What a gorgeous head of hair before and after 😺

[@BobbyHairStudio]

She really IS blessed hey?

[@84Mazzy]

I really appreciate how you left out the already bleached hair out of the foils. Ive had my hair foiled so many times and can see the hairdresser rebleach my blonde but leave a huge chunk of brown, drives me crazy!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nahidkarimi7473]

I think you did fantastic job. I am wondering for yellow or brassy did you ever use 1or 4 natural dark hair like only I ml gram of 4N mix with water and shampoo by doing that natural 1 or 4 has a lots of blue that takes care of all the brassy which you can do in sink & keep messaging yo the hair may be leave it on 5 to 10 mints ? Have you ever done this before ? Please reply back to me ? 😉😉🙏🙏

[@jameszaharik6724]

❤❤

[@apwhoa7767]

Are you pulling each o9f these toners out before the next one?

[@jasondozier5262]

I would give 7 out of ten

[@soniasuch8029]

Hello I just came across your channel I’m 61. Brunette level six, and wanting to go lighter. What would you suggest ? I loving golden brunette when I get highlights in my area, everyone wants to do a caramel color and I just don’t think that looks good on a level six hair color are you suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

[@shelballsxx]

I think she needed some violet in place of the ash? Maybe a little T-Lilac (-9) or T-Ice Irise (-192), or 9.5-49? I was surprised too because you almost always have a -19 in your platinum formulas! 😯 Also apparently, Schwarzkopf created -21 & -16 shades to be extra neutralizing specifically for brunettes, so they pull heavy green/blue like the Goodbye Orange shampoo. I'll mix a couple drops of 0-77 or 6-6 in with the clear to kind of "temper" the navy in 7-21 though and that helps me make it a nice smokey cedar root. But honestly? Final outcome is still a slay all the same, so who cares! 😂 Her hair looks shiny & healthy, too.

[@bubu523]

I love love to see more of the 1-9 results. You are right. I was waiting to see the 1-9 somewhere in her formulas.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Im obsessed with the 9,5-98 I use it in most of my platinum blondes!

[@ronaldmussulman2735]

Its beautiful, long and healthy. I think its a nine not a seven.❤❤

[@jacquelinee4943]

9/10. Color.corections are very hard. I think.the toners was your only downfal...and honestly not really. I think it looks beautiful. For 7 hours of work. It's gorgeous!!!!!

[@rileydarling6870]

I’ve been doing hair for 8 years and don’t understand how you can leave bleach for 4 HOURS???

[@BobbyHairStudio]

It wasn't on for 4 hours. I rinsed out as I needed

[@blockcolormister]

I had to pause and scream 4 HOURS TO FOIL! 😱

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Lol I KNOW!!! I was dieing

[@blockcolormister]

GIRL!! I can barely spend the 2 hours with my clients. lol@@BobbyHairStudio

[@amyexner]

Too much unnecessary work..I would have started with a Color removal -to see what underlying Color is in her hair shaft-then an intense balayage, then a root-20vol-highlight application, lastly a toner to even the blond to give it a smooth consistent color…one can warm it or cool it. Done.

[@jaquosh1576]

Oh,what has happened? She had a regrowth,and spots in the lengths,a green shade too at the end.you really can do better😮

[@BobbyHairStudio]

It's true, we have work to do on it. Her initial root shadow did go strangely warm and deeper than expected so that's what my main issue was at the end. To blend it to a nicer colour and once it washes a few times we will attempt a better root shadow. As for the "spots" in the lengths, that's those hard to read areas when you're blending down the lightener through the highlights. It's hard to see where to stop when you're trying to keep in mind the health of the hair as well. Those will be attended to during our next appointments. It's not an idea response, of course, but this is as far as we got in 7 hours and it's a decent place to start off in. As for the green? I'm not seeing that but the lighting in the salon is WILD at night so maybe there's a cast reflecting down on the hair that's picked up by the camera moreso than in real life! Either way. I agree. I can do better. I don't think this was a BAD result in any way but I do have wishes and I feel like I learned a lot.

[@fuoconellevene]

Is that wella lightener meant for open air processing originally?
