YESSSSS

[@aarbear4067]

Cutting her hair saved a lot of time and money. I don’t think the mid-length and ends would’ve lifted.

[@MarjolaineDaudrumez]

I had almost black dyed hair. I bleached it white blonde. It lifted but as you said the ends stayed brassy, I had to cut them.

[@victoriacyocum7007]

Fantastic results! Looks like a natural blonde level 7. This is great work and teaching!

[@jpaleas]

Looks amazing, warm and cool tones are blending together seamlessly creating such a soft blonde ! Thank you for mentioning the 10 hour appointment time , even after all the internet tutorials,some people still have very unrealistic expectations about time and price ! Long long labor of love! Great work! Thanks for sharing!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you so much! It’s true these things take hours and hours and it’s good to be honest about the service for anyone who doesn’t know

[@TracyD2]

I was just thinking about how beautiful her profile looked when you mentioned it. My profile could never. Love how this came out.

[@catniphell]

Damn that's such a thoughtful process, you're an amazing artist! Well done!!

[@ktay9187]

WOW wow wow! Again, THIS is talent. I am blown away by this transformation. She looks amazing.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jennifer19hernandez]

Are there any salons/colorists you recommend in nyc? Someone at your level is so rare, I love that you continue to educate yourself and admit when you’re not certain what the outcome will be.

[@leighatouchton9705]

Amazing!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@annmariebobst974]

Beautiful! That was alot of work.

[@spinnettdesigns]

Beautiful work! How often will she need a toner? I’m going to do a client tomorrow who got greenish looking hair elsewhere and we are going to warm it (yay!) because she’s a natural auburn (and covering gray) Your color coding was very helpful. The color wheel doesn’t change, and that the beauty. I used to use Schwarzkopf and love how you know to mix the formulas. I did this 35 years ago and people told me not too 😂 My mom used the same brand when she was an apprentice in her little village in Bavaria in the late 1940’s. Thanks much

[@puppiesfurrypuppylove3371]

10 hours….thank you for being transparent about this #FACT.🎉✨👍😁

[@ekaterina__p]

Wow! 🤩This transformation is incredible! So professionally done. It caused no visible damage and it's so cool!! This color and cut suits girl so well! I'm applauding 👏🏻 Thank you for all the secrets and tips!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you!! She has the most gorgeous profile and her bone structure really suits a short bob!

[@edisavianed2920]

Looks great

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thanks!

[@emmagoulter3122]

I seriously need to buy K18 products. Katie , im mind blown. Colour corrections are not something i like & i even recommend a client to go else where , bc (A) i just dont have the patience (B) the salon i work just doesnt have all the hair protector products to help make the work better (C) my brain would explode with , ok what next . Your work & knowledge is above & beyond.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you so much! I love K18 truly, its not a 100% shield for any and all chemical breakage but its the best thing ive ever used on the market. Color corrections are such a difficult service and its not something i chose to specialize in, it just happened! watch out, or it might come for you next ;)

[@rockbailey6411]

Looks beautiful...can you tell us how long it took you? It helps to know the amount of time expected for a service like this. Thank you

[@estheticallypleasing8468]

Sally’s doesn’t have box dye so I don’t understand the title and the talk of box dye. Looks great!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

I understand what you’re saying, However “box dye” has become almost a relative term in hairdressing. Some hairdressers consider anything from a store that doesn’t require a license to purchase from “box dye”, and some do not. How I personally see “box dye” these days is someone whose purchased colour without training and applies the colour in a way that requires special colour treatment and consideration when lifting. It might not be how everyone sees it but I do find that using the blanket term at least provides an eye for viewers to see the video as “this clients hair history is a bit of a mystery! We don’t know if every time the same colour or line was used, or how it was applied, which developers and how long it’s been left on, as well as how regularly the colour is done wether it’s pulled through or just left to the roots” I hope this helps my phrasing make sense for these videos. I do not speak for all hairdressers, just myself and I feel like keeping the terminology simple and to the point let’s viewers see that this is a unique case (as all head of hair are unique and need to be given their own special treatment!)

[@LittleWitch1990]

I love this so much I wish I could get this done I use jet black box dye 😢

[@diegomacias17]

amazing!!! im so stunned how incredibly u mixed the colors, like applying a toner,then root tap and then glaze, i don’t how u make those formulations so precisely, like Schwarzphof have A LOT of shades, how u know which use??, lovely ❤❤❤

[@BobbyHairStudio]

it comes with time and practice, the best thing you can do for yourself is to make mental notes when you use a new shade. make notes on what it looks like mixing, processing, and the overall result wet or dry. the more you actively engage your brain into taking notes, the more naturally it will come to you and soon you wont even know youre doing it. observant eyes make the best hairstylist eyes.

[@suemeyer3569]

Love the color, your technique, and your teaching! The cut is really cute too! Great work! I have one question, how long will the Vibrance color last before it starts to fade?

[@_RayOfLight_]

It’s depends on many factors. The quality of your water , how often you wash the hair , what quality of the hair products you use , if you use hair colour protection mask , shampoo and conditioner, what hair type you have, etc . If you have hard water and using shampoo $5 don’t expect miracle.

[@carlosgray794]

I ❤how she foils!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@isaacsmith8489]

It’s giving Anna Wintour. Love it

[@jonathanspencer8628]

Cute!😍

[@mrparts]

Looks so much more natural than the previous dark color.

[@fightthefairy]

Me ready to just go in on my black box dyed hair with a bleach wash, MAYBE a colour remover first, and shove a copper box dye over it. lol

[@carissavalov1888]

Chef's kiss 💋

[@JennyDarlene]

Can you do a video on how to restore damaged hair?

[@Boudicaisback]

You are so talented. Seriously where were you when I was 14 with red splat dye and black box dye over. My dad spent $600 to get it fixed and I left the salon with orange very very short and damaged hair

[@justbecause9049]

I’ve had my sad hair adventures, too. Sorry that happened to you. Hope your hair is living it’s best life now.

[@lils1988]

Really beautiful. I am so tired of that gray everywhere. That the color I like the most. Sadly I understood that the hard way after doing my hair platinum and then blueblack to silver . It was great and beautiful but it didn't make me feel on top of the world. So ... Here I am going again😂

[@kristysebs32]

What was your thought process bleaching the first time on damp hair?

[@faithsturt7887]

Very hard jib but well done looks very good and I hope she was happy

[@missemma2206]

Hi.. When you start with 20vol bleach is it on wet hair? It looks like it..becaouse bleach usually goes on dry hair....And also did yoo use k18 mist again after you washed out the coloir correctior?

[@elviraduval9353]

Beautiful I like it

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@CynGordon]

I feel like bleach based removers work better on Demi hair color because it tends to stain the hair and color oops has a hard time stripping that kind of color out. I prefer color oops on permanent hair color

[@sandraa.731]

Should you use the K18 for other color box or only black box ?

[@carmijar71]

😂😂😂 "... covering her with a plastic bag.. not her face, just her hair. " You, ma'am, are 💯

[@MelancholyRequiem]

ANOTHER SIZE 10 SHOE SISTER??? SUBSCRIBED.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

😂 my fave comment right here

[@daphnebradford_]

What should i ask for if i want this for my hair?

[@Srenitystreez]

how much does something like this go for? because iv also been box dying mine black since 2010

[@candiacrichton3740]

Great job, looks lovely. Can you give me an idea of how long this took to do and approx how much $!

[@missdee5018]

My coworker had this done and it took 5-6 hours and $600 + tip. Depends on where you live, but this was cheap.

[@melina.kondraski.]

Does bleach work as good on wet hair???

[@emeliahernandez7985]

GOOD. JOB. also may I ask why you put bleach on her hair wet? Water kinda diluted bleach so wondering what thought process there was!!!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

She has a k18 treatment in her hair, so it’s damp from the water mist and the k18 mist!

[@lookinbad2day64]

Cute color but hate the mom cut

[@chrissiebabe234]

Her hair structure and natural colour are so beautiful. Amazing work for sure, but personally, I don’t like the haircut, makes her look a lot older. I preferred the shoulder length in between.

[@amydau7711]

Do you ever use oplalex?

[@Antibeautyguru]

I’m confused, why are you calling it box dye if you said it was a semi permanent ion or wella color? Isn’t that just Demi permanent color and not box dye?

[@BobbyHairStudio]

That is true to a level. However “box dye” has become almost a relative term in hairdressing. Some hairdressers consider anything from a store that doesn’t require a license to purchase from “box dye”, and some do not. How I personally see “box dye” these days is someone whose purchased colour without training and applies the colour in a way that requires special colour treatment and consideration when lifting. It might not be how everyone sees it but I do find that using the blanket term at least provides an eye for viewers to see the video as “this clients hair history is a bit of a mystery! We don’t know if every time the same colour or line was used, or how it was applied, which developers and how long it’s been left on, as well as how regularly the colour is done wether it’s pulled through or just left to the roots” I hope this helps my phrasing make sense for these videos.

[@mandyrhandum]

Have you ever tried the Malibu CPR? It does an amazing job cutting through permanent color without the bleach ❤️

[@BobbyHairStudio]

I’ve used it but to be honest I wasn’t super impressed the few times I did 😶 i only hear amazing things about Malibu. What I think it is, is colour remover has some limitations and I think the clients I’ve used Malibu on, have used the box dyes that Malibu doesn’t effect much

[@mandyrhandum]

I highly recommend trying it with some 15(ish???) volume. You can use more or less, but that volume seems to work well. Keep under heat for 40 mins. It really does a great job cutting through without the bleach. And those 4 good scrubs with their un goo shampoo is fantastic, too. Do you remember how you used it? Btw, you did an incredible job on this lady’s hair! ❤️❤️

[@justbecause9049]

I’ve always been confused as to whether color remover takes out Demi colors because the molecules are different from permanent color. I would not have used a color remover first, but I would not have been able to get it this light. That color was scary. It came out gorgeous.

[@jaquosh1576]

Wonderful, but I dont understand why you put a toner of 9 on level 7,which is orange. Schwarzkopf said, it's only possible to put on a 7 on an orange base, or a 6 on a darker one. So I'm confused now 🤔🤔

[@idaly2006]

What if it’s not “ unprofessional box dye”? If it’s redken shades eq in 1?

[@friendlyreminderbyronni]

What if I used Schwartz keratin box dye 👀

[@juliadiaz1739]

❤❤❤

[@arek52525]

👏👏👏

[@zellleung2786]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jameszaharik6724]

♥️♥️

[@Annieriannie]

Isn't the bleach going to be a little diluted because of the towel dry hair? Or is it the way it is because of the K18?

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Yes! Mildly, though. I want to have damp hair so it’s faster to apply and so that it’s a slightly more gentle lift than on dry hair

[@Annieriannie]

@@BobbyHairStudio ah, makes sense! The result is amazing! I remember having black hair, my own hair is more auburn/copper. Have had it white, red, black...these days I am growing the last highlights out to have my own color. My hairdressers never got the result you just did. 😍

[@Sailorkyun]

How much would this cost? :( I really want to get to my natural dirty blonde.

[@BobbyHairStudio]

I charge $140 per hour for corrections currently

[@HAIRbyKEENAN]

Lot of work but you are right about color removers....they do not lift out Black.

[@victoriavictoria4785]

Hair is wet when u applying lightener?

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Yes! There is a k18 treatment on it!

[@lisathebeautician6489]

I thought that Demi washed out gradually. With regrowth it looks like she has permanent color.

[@cloudyvicky6856]

👍🏻P R O👍🏻 as usual 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@friedajohansson1421]

Hey there It would be great if you can put the price the girls pay in the video. That would help me in personal a lot!

[@BobbyHairStudio]

Any of my colour correction services pay per hour. My hourly rate is currently set at $140 per hour. She was here for 5-6 hours if I remember correctly

[@Damit00Danielle]

I mean the title is very misleading, Sally's is not box dye, and I admire the skill though of the color service, however, I hate the haircut, which makes her look 15 years older. Just a personal opinion, but yeah your color correction was spot on.
