Not sure if it’s been covered but, advice on oily roots and dry ends would be amazing. Tried so many things to correct it and no results.
Mel mil Mel mil I have the same thing! And what works for me is a shampoo that is thinner constituency and not so thick. Matrix has a good shampoo that is a red and black bottle called repair shampoo. Shampoo 3x and rinse with warm water. Then I use a hair mask, any one will work, then rinse that out and then use a conditioner that’s meant for dry hair and only use it on the ends. Make sure your hair is damp and squeeze out any extra water, then put it on and leave for anout 5 minutes and then rinse with COLD COLD water!!!
Stop using shampoo. It dries out the hair and makes the roots greasy.
Emma E not true...lol
Emma E That’s totally not true. Sulfates do that. If you use a sulfate free shampoo and only wash your scalp, you won’t have that problem.

The main reason why I'm picky with salons is because I had an experience before where almost everyone (the staff) aggressively told me how damaged and ugly my hair was, and told me I needed more treatments etc.
I knew it was a pushy sales tactic so I would buy more services, but it still got to me, I even cried when I got home.
I came there to look good, feel good, but ended up having the worst day because I felt so insecure.
Geniely Cruz same thing happened to me last week, and to add up she cut all my hair and I can’t even style it now other than a bun or brades, I never had such bad experience before and it had me in tears for days
Thats awful, i modelled for my first hairdressers I had beautiful curly hair. I cried the whole time, it was long, she wasnt meant to be cutting it, just styling i didn't notice the scissors in her hand. She waa a tranee , she took my hair back into a ponytail and Chop.ishouted STOP. Long story short, i ended up having to have it cut. I've never been back since thats 18 years ago. I go to a small hairdressers in the UK , their clients are very age ranged, but mostly quite old, one lady i talk to is in her 90's shes so with it. Tells me im beautiful every time i see her. I stress for days before i go. xxx💖💗💝🐕🐾🐾
I'm so sorry you all went through that. Our hair is part of who we are. 💔
I am Hispanic and I get that from my own people, it’s disgusting. I stop going to Hispanic hair salons.. I felt that they were envious of my long thick hair. They would pull it, call it damaged, cut it more than they needed to... ugh! Just look for that right person.
I stopped going to salons for years don’t trust them friends that I trust do my hair
Salons can get really pricey, especially with long hair. I hate being that person that has to ask how much it's going to cost every 5 min.
Roots/toner for blonde in Miami is $150-250 a month. I dIY for $7 a mo and cut my own hair. Comes out great
Same
I love what you said at the end of this video! I think part of the intimidation of salons is not fitting into the “traditional” expectation of beauty - whether it be clothes, weight, wrinkles on my face, etc, and the judgement that might come with it in an environment where “beauty” is the main commodity.
I also dislike salons in which it seems like you are walking into a clique in which you don’t know anyone. Sometimes the stylists gossip amongst themselves (or even just the stylist and her assistant), and it feels like you are interrupting their time with the service that YOU are paying for! This is why I love my current stylist - she doesn’t have an assistant and has a private room, so she pays 100% attention to me and my hair and is wonderful. 😊
This pretty much sums it up for me. I stopped going to the stylist when i started gaining weight, i just can't even imagine going there now knowing full well how they judge and gossip about their clients.
In a future video, can you talk about the different types of hair layering styles, and explain each of them? I often have trouble trying to explain what exactly it is I want, besides using photos to illustrate, Thank you! xx
EverythingZen omg!! Great idea! Yes! Please !
Yes!
Yes! Especially for long thick hair!!
Yes please!!
Yessss great idea omg
I personally am always scared to go to the salon because unfortunately I’ve had bad experiences not receiving what I asked for.
I am actually a licensed cosmetologist so I could communicate in my consults what I wanted but the stylist just wasn’t able to preform what we agreed upon. I wanted balayage and she didn’t tell me the truth about never performing that service before. (I live in a small town with mostly retirement age women).
I left the salon paying for chunky streaks and level 2 roots :( I ended up fixing my hair myself.
I know this wouldn’t happen in every salon but I just have trust issues now and only do my own hair. i’d rather be mad at myself for messing up my hair then someone else and paying $$ for it. Granted, my situation is different since I am licensed..
Same thing happened to me! I asked for balayage, and they had never done it before and gave me untoned, orange streaks. I’m not licensed or anything, but I don’t go to professionals for my hair anymore. I either cut/color it myself or have my friends do it lol
Same they just decided to bleach the bottom layer of my hair and leave the top my natural colour. My natural is a dark brown almost black and the bottom layer was a yellowy blonde. Not nice
I have trichotillomania (it's a mental health condition that causes you to pull out your hair, similar to skin picking). I've been managing pretty well, but I'm still mortified when I go to a new stylist. I have a lot of breakage that's due to my own behavior and not the health of my hair. I know a lot of people with severe trich avoid going to the hairdresser. It would be nice if there was more awareness among hair stylists. I'm sure people would seek out a stylist who was trich-friendly over feeling judged or uncomfortable.
I have the same condition except mine is more with eyelashes and eyebrows.
I’m sorry you’re experiencing this. My daughter picks at her eyebrows. She also started to pick at her face. It’s all stress related. I feel for your pain.
@@mauranoonan8951 Thanks Maura. Brains can find very strange ways to alleviate stress. Wishing your daughter the best, if she's young there's a good chance she'll grow out of the habit.

I've looked to see if I can find a hairdresser who specializes in Trichotillomania. Generally I'm shocked when I find that most don't even know what it is.
I love the salon and my hair dresser, but my experience with embarrassment with salons is financial. I hate to be the person that cant afford what I want or need and constantly having to say "oh that's too much I cant do that." I understand their time is worth what they're asking etc and I don't want to make them feel like I dont want to pay them or I don't think they're worthy its just a $150 salon trip isn't always doable.
I hear you. I end up using all my money and tip large so they don’t think I don’t appreciate their work. Then I drive home feeling dumb because I didn’t tell them I really couldn’t afford. 😒
I agree. Hence why if you’re doing an all over color, I just do it at home. I see zero difference. In fact, I can make sure I’m covering all my greys. Many times the stylist have missed the grey on my temples. And for $150 that’s unacceptable. And the stylist never gets all the color out of my scalp or off of my skin and ears.
@Make Up Ur Mood I have 80 to 90 % gray . My gray starts showing its ugly roots in about a week and I can't afford root coverage every 4-5 weeks. I love my stylists, her work and her as a person, but why can't I get a little discount? She knows I'll be back more frequently if it didn't cost me a hundred bucks or so everytime I come in just for covering my roots?!! I've finally learned how to do my roots at home to save a bundle of money that I just can't shell out. I do however have an appointment in a couple of weeks for a fresh bayalage!
Cathy 0124 why would you expect a discount, ever? This is her craft and her livelihood. Would it be okay if she asked you for discounts at your job even though she might come in every month? Nope. Look at it more like a career and not a hobby and you’d understand more. Go to someone cheaper if it bothers you instead of asking for discounts because it’s an insult as a hairstylist.
@@lexienicole1458 I guess I should have explained myself a little bit better. I pay very close a root coverage as I do for a highlight and root coverage together. That's why for only a root coverage I feel I should get a little break. No??
In fact, in all actuality, you've been THEE most helpful and explanatory... big fan and, I thank you SO MUCH
I live in a rural area with only cheap salons, and the people there can't seem to understand that I do not want layers- my hair is straight and fine and I like wearing braids. Since I just cut a straight line, it's way easier to do it myself and doesn't cost me $40.
Oh I get that! I hate layers in my hair for exactly the same reason! When my hair is long, my husband cuts my hair 😅
Will You Please Talk About Hard Water And The Best Filters/ Products You Can Get 2 Help With Hair And Skin
Just Moved Into An Apartment With VERY Hard Water
Thank You
xx
Hard Water reaks havoc on my hair! Turns it orange. My attempts to fix this have been to use purple colored shampoo. I also try not to wash frequently. Hold out as long as possible between washing.
Invest into a faucet filter.
I love going to see my hair stylist. How she leaves my hair after my appointment. I feel so glam. Had couple of bad experiences with other stylists in the past but since I found her I am always happy to get my hair done. 😊
"Women typically take on their Dad's side .. " Oh shoot!!! I'm screwed 🤣
I'm surprised she believes this when the rest of her advice is spot on. This is an old wives tale. There is zero truth to it.
😂
I take on my moms side of the family’s hair and my husband takes on his dad’s family’s side so..
L M I really hope it's a myth. My mom is nearly 60 and STILL hasn't gone grey while my dad started balding and went grey in his 20's.
I’ve been doing my own color for 35 years. I’m a professional amateur at this point. I use an ash blonde number 12 and mix with a 30 developer. It takes my brown roots to blonde in 45min.
It happens a lot! And absolutely hate it: when I ask for cutting the tips of my hair (like one inch), they cut like 4! Without even asking... do they realize how important is for a woman the long of her hair? It happened the las time I went and I was really upset. Never wanted to come back to that place
Happened to me So many times. That's Not cool.😡
me too but I have also had times of great haircuts!
This literally just happened to me on the weekend. I am gutted. I know hair grows back but I have been trying to grow it out for ages. It’s like, Girl, stop talking while you’re cutting and just FOCUS!!!
I DREDDDD the salon! My roots are real dark brown and I ❤️❤️❤️the platinum. The last salon I went to the girl said she was going to use a 20v bleach to lift because she didn’t know “how my hair would react” and I may not need a higher volume developer.. needless to say I was there for 6 hours because she kept repeating the same steps, and she didn’t rinse my ends thoroughly so we all know what happened 🙄😡
The fear of salon is due bad xperiences
whitney pazmino yes! Ive been to normal salons and high end too and everybody fries your hair.. yes it looks amazing when Im out of the salon bcs of the blowout.. but after I wash it at home.. Lord have mercy!
I can totally relate! Anytime I got lowlights, I'd tell them to go rather lighter because I know my hair and I have the experience that it gets darker than planned. Guess what - no, they know their products, blah blah blah, and I always ended up with too dark lowlights. On the other hand, I always had great experience with haircuts.
Yea legit PTSD
Had hair down passed my bra line and wanted a trim, left with a blunt cut to my shoulder blades that looked AWFUL put up in a high pony- my signature look. Never went back.. I learned to trim my own hair and learned to color it too. Basically a ph.d lol
This Thing About beeing embarrassed is also something I could feel. Thank you for giving us Courage again to go to a salon again.
My dad's still not even fully grey just strands here and there at 56 so the first one was great to hear!
When I go to a salon I expect the stylist to be knowledgeable. A stylist should be able to tell me what hairstyle would look best on me according to my hair type, head shape, face shape, and lifestyle. From my experience, most have no clue. I can't even consider having my hair colored.
Sophie Laurenti I think the trouble with that situation is A lot of what looks “good” on someone is just opinion based. And your stylist likes and opinions could be greatly different than yours.
Yes certain tones might compliment better but that tone can be found in so many different colors.
And when giving the stylist no point of reference in your preferences makes it challenging to choose something you will be pleased with.
Example could be---- I personally love dark hair with fair skin it very much has a Snow White appeal to me.
So if a client says “Choose what you think would look nice”
I might pick a dark color (warm or cool which ever undertone suits her)
And then she could feel very washed out by the color if she was used to or imaging herself with a lighter color.
I couldn’t agree more. I’d like more opinion on that too from my stylist.
I agree 100%. It should be their job to tell you what they think looks good given your features and their experience. It's then up to the client to say if it's a go or no. A lot of European salon stylists do that but American ones are very hesitant from what I've experienced.
Sylvia will you address blonde tones and/or hair pigments for us over 50? Thank you 💖
Please answer that, I would really like to know too.
One girl in a salon laughed at me and said "what did you do?" And told me to put coconut oil on my hair for s week and use no heat and come back
Never came back
Went to another new stylist been with her now 4 years
She never laughed, she took me in and my hair turned out perfect first try no damage and lifted PERFECTLY even over tons of faded box dye and several shades of brown
I look forward to your videos every Saturday!! You always share helpful information and tips! Thanks Silvia!! 💜🌟💜🌟💜
Hey! Thanks for the video, it was very educational. I do love salons too, but I have suffered a lot from hairdressers who just don't want to listen. I want something, show them a picture, they say OK and do something totally different. This is why I dread going to salons and this is why I do my hair at home and I learn from awesome videos like this one. Several times a hair dresser has colored roots I especially said I want to let grow and not to colour them under any circumstances. Even now a salon caught my eye and I checked them on Instagram and their work looks great, but I am nervous to go. So yeah... Mixed feelings. But salons are totally fun! I just dream of finding the right hairdresser for me :)
I followed your tutorial on baby lights and toning and my hair looks awesome!!! I’m not a cosmetologist so I was afraid I will make my hair look brassy or uneven but it looks so great !!! 💕💕💕
ioana vlaicu ...what is the title....need to watch it
Lisa Healey Easy to follow babylights tutorial
Thank you for bringing up the fear of the salon. I always enjoyed going and getting my hair done. I never felt embarrassed or intimidated until just over a year ago when I cinged my bangs and my right side. Because it happened at night, I trimmed it and did a great job, that one time. Feeling empowered, I thought all I'd need to do is watch some DIY tutorials and I could be my own stylist. Well, for more than a year now, I'm too embarrassed to go to the salon and get this mess fixed. 2 weeks ago, I really made a boo boo and had to cut it extremely short- pixie short. I'm sick and embarrassed and I don't know where to turn for help without judgement.
Great video Sylvia.🙂 I'm a DIY hair girl (mainly for time & money reasons) however, I treated myself and went to a salon and it was awesome! I definitely will be going back, really enjoy having my hair done by a professional. Have a nice day 🙂
Hi Silvia, thanks again for another great video. I work with autistic adults, lots of who have sensory issues which make hairdressers a nightmare for them - all the sounds, smells, bright lights, touch and expectations for social interaction. They might also have traumatic associations from visits to hairdressers as a child for the same reason. Given the US prevalence rate for autism is estimated as 1 in 68, it would make a huge difference to a lot of people if you found out more about this and were able to offer a low-arousal area in salons for them to visit. Happy to advise if you want me to.
So true. Both of my kids have autism, but I've been cutting their hair myself since they were little ones (25 yrs). They only want me to cut it (I'm like a pro barber now), but the few times I have taken them to a barber, they didn't like it. I would call ahead and explain to them that they have autism, and ask if they have ever worked with clients who are on the spectrum. If they have a friendly and warm demeanor on the phone, and seem understanding, I'll give them a chance. If they act like you're wasting their time, or seem like their not taking what you say into account, then nope.
I’ve been to a salon twice, The first time she said she could do my hair exactly how I wanted it and I came out totally different, The second time I loved it it was beautiful two days later took a shower and the toner was all gone .. i’ve learned to bleach my hair I actually really enjoy it! 🥰 i got to a certain point where it’s light enough that toning it doesn’t really matter.. i’m at a point where I love my hair it took me like 3 years , 100 trips to Sally. A lot of breakage, but I finally got a decent color love I like 😍 
i've had a lot more bad experiences than good in salons. i cant say how many times i asked for a trim on my, down to my butt, long hair and got it up to my shoulders. the last time i set foot in a salon i asked for bangs so the stylist picked up a chunk of hair from my crown and chopped it and then said 'there ya happy?' . ive been doing my own hair ever since and cant say what will ever change my mind. i think you're definitely an exception to the rule because if more stylist were like you i wouldn't have had a mullet that day, haha
Not afraid of the salon, afraid of what the stylist/ colorist will do to my hair. I've had one fry my hair, another cut off 8 inches when I only wanted a trim, wanted red and I got orange. I've started coloring my own hair, and I couldn't be happier with the results! I've also seen, on fb, on posts made by the place where I buy my color, cosmotologists putting down people for not only what you said, but for their haircuts also. One said it looked like people did their own hair with a flobee... my spelling is probably wrong because I don't know what it is. They're extremely rude to say the least. People read things like that and I can see how they'd be afraid to try a new salon.
I had so many bad experiences in salons as a teenager, that at one point I decided to never go again and do my hair myself. After a decade my hair was so damaged because of box dyes and heat, that I had no choice but to go to a hairdresser. Sadly, my next two experiences weren't good as well: The first one just lied about what she could do to my hair, so I payed a lot of money but after two hair washes the color slipped right out of my hair, leaving me again with weird blond-greenish patches in my overall brown hair. The second lady I went to started to rant about me and other 'girls' (I'm a woman, not a girl, but whatever) in general that damage their hair and then expect her to fix it and blabla. This was the worst I ever experienced, I wanted to run out of the salon right away but she already had applied some product, so well, I was just sitting there shocked and silently questioning her career choices and started to cry as soon as I was out of the salon. Uff. But well, I couldn't give up, cause there was no way I could fix my hair by myself. So I went to yet another hairdresser and FINALLY this one was just plain upfront about what she could do with my hair, what the process will be and how long it will take (months!), but she also calmed me down and said that my hair totally could be fixed and that she had seen already way worse. It felt so good that there was someone honest and actually caring, and guess what, even after the first session my hair was better than ever before. I was and am still so thankful, cause she gave me some faith back. But well, not all (in my experiences most) hair dressers are like her and you, so it's really a tough journey to go on (I actually have to look for a new hair dresser, cause I feel like my current one hit the limits of her competence and won't be able to give me my desired hair color).
I just randomly discovered your channel, and love it already! Thanks for the great information!👍👍👍👍😊
If only every hairdresser had your passion or professionalism, I’ve not always had great experiences
Thanks for the informative video! I think one of the biggest negatives for me about going to the salon is that the end result is never really how you have described it to the hair dresser. Its as if they dont really listen to what you want. Ok, i know that you can't always have what you want, but they dont always explain why or say what would look better in their opinion.Especially when it comes to cutting/styling you can be really upset by what they consider suits you, rather than what you actually want. I find this happens more as you get older. (like age dosent matter)
The top layer of my hair is super dry and frizzy / but the inner layers of my hair is so silky, shiny and perfect. How can I get all my hair to be that way?
I don't typically use hot tools often.
I recently had a negative experience at a salon. I went for a change in color. And when my hair was all done I wasn't happy with the color. It wasn't light enough. (I am already Blonde so it wasn't like I need to go back a few times to achieve the color I was looking for) Ok so I'm sure from time to time it happens someone is happy. But what I didn't like was that the girl who did my hair went around and told everyone I wasn't happy with my hair as if I did something wrong. She should have kept it between us, offer to fix it with out all the fuss. She did fix my hair and I'll never go back !
wonderful video! I love going to the salon when I have the money to go to a great stylist. When my budget is tight and I have to go somewhere that isn't as "high end" or has less experienced stylists, I am alway so scared bc something always goes wrong. I end up only halfway liking the results which is super frustrating. Especially when I have to come home and totally redo my blowout and style. Even worse is when I am to afraid to ask for them to fix my color or the cut.
Can NOT love you any more than already do! Thank you for your videos especially blond tricks and tips
Thank you for all the great info. I am wondering if you can make video on a great at home DIY hair mask? That would be awesome!
Since many hairdressers messed up with my hair -I do everything myself....Bleach-tone-extensions...etc...
I don’t dread going to the salon now but when I was younger, I had a tough time communicating with the hairdressers because I didn’t know their terms and would always leave with a cut I didn’t like due to lack of communication and I feel like the hairdresser would just do what they thought looked good on me without clarifying what I wanted. That was when I was young (teens) and was raised by a single dad and would often go to the salon solo but now as an adult, I am much more confident to make sure that they understand what I want.
I LOVE going to the salon. I always have. There’s just such a fun accepting woman love there I feel. I’m sure guys have that with their barbers too. But idk it’s just fun to get excited about your change and other people’s positive changes and it’s truly a magical thing.
Love this video! Curious to know what product you suggest as the best hair “mask” or leave-in treatment
I've had a few bad experiences with rude hairdressers or awkward ones which is sooo bad for me because I have social anxiety. I need small talk or I just feel sooo uncomfortable. Also had a few times where my hairs not turned out quite how I wanted but it's that thing where I just smile and say thanks. Obv that's my problem for not speaking up. My stepdads hair was white all over by 27 so it's definitely not always age. X
I’ve been to the salon before with hair dye that albeit it was no professional I didn’t mind it was purple and pink and I loved it, hairdresser was not shy in telling me it was a mess.. the same salon later down the line gave me chemical burns on my scalp when I paid a lot of money to have my hair professionally dyed purple all over, they highlighted some parts and burned my scalp 🙃
NOW sadly I’m scared to go into a salon and even scared to do anything to my hair because my hairstylist who I’ve gone to multiple times just FRIED OFF THE ENDS OF SOME PIECES OF MY HAIR AND LET ME WALK OUT WITHOUT TELLING ME...I found out after showering and seeing that I had shorter pieces throughout my hair...not having cut layers...I’ve had a lob for over a year. (and there wasn’t pieces coming out in the shower or when I brushed my hair) It’s horror stories like that which intimidate people from going into a salon. And I’ve always loved hair and almost went to school for it but ended up going to university instead.
1:50 into this video and I already love it. I am such a chemistry nerd with hair, and this is giving me life!
Also, your hair is literally goals! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I had a hairdresser a week ago, and all she did was just berate me for bleaching my own hair. And she was talking about how brassy it was, and how Miscolored it was. And she was the only person who came down on me so hard. Everyone else said it looked pretty good considering I did it on my own, and I also removed a ton of red out. LOL so unfortunately, some hairdressers are really judgemental and downright hateful. Of course I won’t go back there. I had to go yesterday and have another stylist fix what she messed up cut wise. 😂😂
Hello and thank you for your videos... I am just wanting your opinion or anyone reading this if you believe castor oil is good for eyelash growth??
Thank you for stating the last point!
I was embarrassed going for hair cuts due to scalp psoriasis and would cut my own hair or wait for a good scalp day to get a trim. I've have now found a hairdresser that is experienced with psoriasis and made it totally ok. I now go for regular appointments and like that we have built a relationship.
Omg i think i have that....im 27 and its only shown up within the last year. Ive never got it diagnosed or anything but im pretty sure thats what it is. Do you find the shampoos for it help?
I'm gonna tell you about my hair salon experience, i used to go every week to get my nails done at my salon and my hair once a month. When I was getting my nails done on Thursday the phone rang and it was a customer that I saw every single Thursday it was an older lady, The salon owner hung up the phone and told a group of ladies about five of them here comes Mary every time she comes I think it's her last shave! They all laughed at her and 15 minutes later Mary walked through the door she was a beautiful older lady I would say in her 80s that I saw every single Thursday it broke my heart. I never went back to the salon again and I cut all ties with my hairdresser. Fast forward seven years I decided to get my hair highlighted for Mother's Day and I went to the salon on my block, my hair is down to my waist and I ran into an old friend there, First thing she said to me was you need to cut your hair you have a witch vibe going on. I was mortified no I did not cut my hair and no I have not been back.
My natural hair color is a dark brown. I went to one hair stylist at a different salon who dyed my hair to a medium/light brown & then put bleach on it all in one session. She said that my hair won't go from dark to light just with bleach. My hair stylist now did the same thing so I stopped getting my hair dyed and bleached from her or any hair stylist. I only have her cut my hair now. I've been watching your videos on how to dye/bleach your hair at home so for the past 3 1/2 years I've been doing my own hair. The last time I went to get my hair cut she told me not to do highlights on my hair anymore because it doesn't look good & the time before that she said to me "you know that I don't like that hair color on you." I understand she's a professional hair stylist & I'm sure she knows what's best but there all plenty of women that go from a dark brown to blonde so why can't I.
Darn! True! My mom has the thickest fullest head of hair. I took after my father: very thin and not abundant hair! I agree! None of my family started having gray hair before 50. I started at 27!!! Question: what do you think when you get a person with really thin hair? I feel there is very little you can do with thin hair!
I don’t have a fear of salons, but more so a fear of getting what I didn’t ask for. I’ve had a disappointing experience rate of 85% no matter how much money I’m spending. They never do what I ask them to do. It’s hard to find someone good.
Always enjoy your vids. What are your thoughts on Keratine Treatment? Does it really tame frizzy hair? Or using certain conditioners/hair mask can take away the frizzies too.
Just wanted to touch base on you not being able to comprehend people being intimidated by salons... I’m one of those even though I absolutely love getting my hair done. I still, at 40, feel trepidation going to get anything done to my hair bc I have had so many mishaps with my hair. I don’t like to change stylists unless absolutely necessary, but there are times that my amazing then-stylist will be having an off day and completely do what SHE wants to my hair. So it’s like roulette for me. That’s my reasoning 🙃
Hi Elle, OMG I was the same as you as a kid- absolutely loved going to the salon with my mum!! I thought it was SO glamourous!! I even wanted to be a hairdresser when I grew up!! Unfortunately I didn"t get the chance to, but now at age 48 I think it is too late to start! Love your videos anyway xxxx
It is not too late! Go for It! You won't regret it.
I feel intimidated by salons because I’ve had more bad experiences I can count than good. Growing out short hair while maintaining a style has been difficult because most stylists have cut off too much, and put my back months in terms of growth
I don't know why most people say it's less stressful to color their hair themselves. I'm someone who is so nit picky about every aspect of my hair that if I had to do it myself I would be questioning myself and wondering if I did a good job, missed anything, ect. If I go to a salon sure, I still nit pick at the stylist doing my hair and give her exact instructions and ask questions throughout the hair process but it is so much easier on me mentally to know that the physical work is not my concern and that they have everything they need instead of me going out and thinking of what I do or don't need.
Hair dressers can be rude sometimes and I am yet to find one that I feel totally comfortable going in and speaking to, I envy men barbers for this reason
Hairmasters needs more stylist like you. I been turn away because I got deep reddish dark brown hair. I found a lovely small salon that have done a beautiful job on my hair. All I wanted was some foil highlights. It looks beautiful.
I had a stylist for years that I loved. She had a baby and never came back to work. It has been two years and I’ve resorted to doing my own hair via esalon. Any tips or formula help to achieve that “mushroom” cool toned brown trend?
So helpful and informative, thank you!! 😍😘
How quickly you get to the point is so satisfying to watch. Straight to the point no boring waiting
Mine is because bad experiences. Even going to “good” more expensive salons, either they cut my hair too short after I asked for a trim of 1/2 in. They remove 1-2 inches. I asked the last place I went to dust my hair, I explained it the way you showed in a video, they said oh yeah I know what you mean we call it_____.. ok well he proceeded to remove chunks of my underhair layer like he was thinning my hair.. it took almost a year for the new hair to finally blend into my hair now. Also found that even after spending 125 bucks for color, it is t that great, kind of one dimensional, not healthy looking etc, had highlights refreshed and asked to add darker roots and asked to baylage (sp). So my hair looked more like natural golden dirty blonde (showed picture) cost me 175 bucks. (I was already bleach blond) and I ended up with chunky brown and blonde highlights!! Ugh! So now I’m embracing my old lady hair, finding out what lies beneath lol and I trim my hair at home.
I have naturally 3b and 3c textured hair and I’ve had two good salon experiences out of about 10. It’s so hard to find a good stylist for my hair type in my area. I really wish that more hairdressers had experience with my type of hair and even coarser hair because I feel almost out of place at a salon. I know some Caucasian women have hair types like mine and I feel that it would be beneficial to both me and someone like you to have more knowledge with my hair type. (Not saying that you don’t have that knowledge) I’ve tried for years to find someone that does good box braids even and I have yet to find that person.
I just found your channel yesterday & I love your videos! Thank you for keeping it REAL and sharing this information. You've got a new subscriber ^.^ I have to say #5 is my favorite. I love to see you're so passionate about being a hairdresser. I am GOOD at it but it wasn't my passion. I still wanted to help people though, and now I'm a Nutritionist :D I LOVE it & I'm still learning from some of the very best people (doctors and scientists)... it's like I can't get enough of the information out there. I do color my hair because I have hereditary premature pigmentation loss in my hair. The good thing is, with white hair I get to choose what hair color I want to have. Your videos helped me finally decide to go blonde. I've always loved how some (well colored or natural) blonde hair looks so soft but with my native / celtic / germanic heritage I didn't think I could pull it off. Now I know better ;) Thanks!!
good to know 😅😍 thank you so much for all your tipps ❤️
when I am going to the salon for another round of bleaching, when should I last wash my hair? Day before? Day before that? 😅 Would mean so much if you could answer that, I already tried looking for an answer but didn’t find a reliable one 🙈❤️
maybe that’s also a good idea for another video 😍❤️
I have curly thick hair but the strands are very thin. I struggle so much with trying to find someone who can work with my hair type. When I straighten my hair this wasn’t an issue. Honestly every time I go to the salon they cut more than I ask and I walk out feeling like I have too much product in my hair and the style needs to be washed immediately. The last person who cut my hair is a curly hair specialist and I ended up cutting my own hair when I got home. 60$ wasted. After that experience, I started cutting my own hair. It’s been years since someone has cut or colored my hair.
The hair mask fact surprised me! Not gonna lose anymore time than necessary now
What do products do you think are good for natural curly hair
I have grey hair around the temples now and it has been costing me £170 every four weeks... because I dislike that block-root salons do. I hope one day we can pay for tuition to do our own hair colour at home! Tailored for the individual.
I hate going to the salon. I just went in Saturday for a root touch up. I didn’t realize I had to book a blow dry also and I felt like the stylist was demeaning to me for that . I hate their attitude. My stylist thinks she knows my hair better than me when it comes to haircuts. Also this wasn’t the second time there was no hot water.
What about coconut oil? Whats the time i can leave it on? Is it like argan oil?
That's what I would like to know too
You can leave coconut oil on as long as you want. I myself prefer to leave it in overnight and rinse it out in the morning.
@@hottestpersonalive6620 that's what I usually do, I thought maybe there is a secret to it. 🙂
Love your videos... I found my first white hair at 17(thanks to dad) and by 27 I was 75 percent white. I use to love going to the salon but I feel like no matter what salon I never get the coverage I get doing it myself. They always try and talk me into going lighter on the roots to blend in better) I use a 6nn colorfusion. I would love to go lighter but then it’s a little reddish and translucent. Any ideas of what I can tell them . Iam a mom of 8 and would love a few hours at the salon
How can I fix thin damage hair and close the cuticle ?will coconut oil work ?
The reason why I avoid salons: my first time ever even going got a choppy ass cut
Second time going they bleached on top of already bleached hair without my approval, causing all my hair to break off!! My profile picture is me before i first bleached my hair, where it was at its best. The second bleach killed it entirely
Hello!! I am planning on getting a bleach out. And I’ve seen many people say that it’s best to bleach your hair on oily hair/dirty hair...and I’ve seen some people say to go to the salon with clean hair... I don’t know who to believe 🤷♀️ Is this a myth too??? Please lmk!!
I personally love my hair stylist. The problem is the ppl in the salon. Being a regular middle class girl...likes to spend money on her hair and having to go to a salon where all the Big Money ppl stare at her up and down...with my forever 21 wrist wallet, sitting next to several women with their fendi, Louis, and balenciagas. Lol that’s why! 😂 but obvi, my hairstylist probably relates more to me bcuz of our class.
You're pretty that's probably why they stare you down lol. But i feel you, i always go to the salon in comfy clothes and no makeup.....then regret it.
I love going to the salon, my only issue is I have had soooooo many hairdressers botch my hair. Weather it be with the color, or the cut. I don't know if it is in part to living in a small community or what. I guess I just need to know what are the right signs to look for in a good hairdresser, and what can I do to maximize my results from going to a salon?
Good tips , thanks for sharing!
Can we buy individual REDKEN flashlight bonder inside packets from you? or do you know a seller !?❤️
I had the most wonderful hairdresser years ago and she moved away. I have been struggling to find someone else so have been bouncing around. Going to the salon costs me a mint to do a cut and colour, and I’m sick of paying top dollar for a relatively mediocre job, so I occasionally do some colours at home. Sometimes it isn’t the workmanship, it’s the bedside manner. The last lady that cut my hair was “tisk tisk, you should get regular cuts” I’m pretty sure that was exactly the reason why I was there. But I would never let my “inner smart arse” out in front of someone with scissors *laughs awkwardly *. I am still in search of my “hair-mate”
I did like your Dr analogy, but after all the crap I have done at home to my hair, it would be more like me going to the Dr after trying to heal a cut on my arm with salt and lemon. She would most definitely say “stop doing that” , which is what we are afraid of hearing. So we lie and say “I woke up this morning and it felt like my arm was on fire, for some reason unbeknownst to me”
So just saying, lol, I'm one that has not stepped into a salon in years, because I am scarred!! Lol, I looovveee going to a salon, but the lady we all went to growing up retired when I was about 15, so for a few years we (when I say we, I mean my mom, myself, and my 2 sisters) tried to find somewhere new, and when I tell you every place we went they screwed my hair up, I was better off screwing it up myself. When I say from cut, to color, to style, to being scared for my homecoming, it was bad. And now even as an adult I get so anxious to go to a salon that I will do my hair myself until I'm tired of the only cut I can properly do, or until my hair is really damaged that I can't fix it. I know that's bad, but so were my experiences, I just don't want to keep trying as I obviously don't have luck, lol 💞
It seems a lot of ppl have been scared, lol, I've yet to find an enthusiastic hair dresser as you, u can tell you love it, it's not just a pay check, I habe yet to find a hair dresser that gives the energy you do!! I would def return to you😉
My colour dosent last, I cover my white hair I only have a few but I keep dying it every 3 weeks. Why dose it fade quick ?
Do you know if you have hard water in your shower? Could be the minerals...
gray or white hair don’t take color as well as other colors. It’s structure changes and it just don’t hold hair dye very well.
My mom bleaches her grey first to make it a better state to hold colour
wow! best ever! yes I'm petrified! I can't tell you why but yes it's like you said we feel embarrassed lol
I'm a natural red so I am going white 😫 I just finished my second sitting of going blonde. It's a big change but i like it so far.
I've had 1 good experience with a hair dresser, he did exactly what I asked. Unfortunately I moved to a different state and couldn't bring him with me (lol). All the other times I have had to redo my hair after I got home. The very last time I went to get a trim, the first thing the hair dresser said was "lets get rid of the birds nest on the top of your hair ". Needless to say I got up and walked out, never to return. I haven't been back to any professional since. I just don't understand why they can't do just the trim that I ask for.
I'm sure there are others out there who would be awesome, but I'm on a fixed income and can't afford to go looking for the perfect one. I've been cutting my own hair since I moved away from the person who cut my hair perfectly every time.
Such is life.. I'm happy with the results because I cut it like I want it.
Don't get me wrong, I know there's a lot of hair dresser that do amazing work, I just wish I could find one without spending a fortune looking for him/her.
Peace and love
Whoot ... this "mom side of family and dads side of family hair" !! 😱🙏 My son will thanking me! 😂🤘😍
I love going to salons and getting my hair done. Always have since I got my drivers license at 16. I am 50 now. I had good experiences and some disappointing ones but I keep going. And if my budget allowed I would go every week for a blowout!! I personally enjoy all your videos 😘😘😘!!
I started going grey in middle school! I am only 23 and I have 100% grey hair.
Just say you went to Tokyo and liked the style ;)
Hi!! I thought I might add that protein packs should not be left on very long.... especially overnight!!!!!! Too much protein will cause your hair to break!!!!!!!♥️
I love going to the salon. It’s like a day out with the girls to me. 👍😺😺
In my experience, I tend to leave the salon with something different than what I wanted. I understand that not everything is possible because of different undertones. The places I have been to don't explain why they could not achieve it. Or the hair language gets in the way, they may have thought I wouldn't understand or something.. lol I am trying someone new tomorrow, hopefully it goes well!!!
I always avoided the salon bc I have really long hair (middle of my butt long) and I would always either get charged an insane amount for what I requested (trim, highlights- at least $350 for a trim which boggles my mind and more than half a grand with highlights) and I would always leave the salon with wet hair bc they say my hair is too long to style. It was always so disappointing so I never go and just try to treat my hair as well as possible and use good hair scissors when trimming and shaping at home.
You’re so naturally beautiful!!
I love going to my hair dresser!! She is the best! I've been her client for probably 20yrs.
I have now had two hairdressers belittle me for dying my own hair. Not everyone wants to pay $200 for a dye job, and you shouldn’t be made to feel bad for doing something to your own head. I know you would never make fun of someone for dying their own hair, but unfortunately many other hairdressers do, and that makes people nervous to go to some salons.
