I love this correction! I also loved how you didn’t bash the original hair stylist. It’s important to understand that everyone makes mistakes and are human ☺️
Ok, but you don’t want them to make mistakes on your hair and also I hate when I need to tell them they did a bad job. I hate to go back to them after, though they might be great in haircuts and I really appreciate their other job. I wish they’d be decent enough to tell the client they’ve made a mistake.
i know! i hate when people come to me and i don’t mind fixing other’s mistakes but they go on and on bashing the previous stylist, everyone starts somewhere and some people are stronger in areas then most. should she have been upfront about not being 100% on highlights yes. but i also know i’ve been there before where you really do need a real living head to work on to truly understand the technical aspects of highlights
Just imagine if this lady had strips spots snd orange and yellow before a big event like a 21st or even her wedding day. I agree it's important not to bash the hairdresser that messed up the hair but also people should be warned on Google reviews in a subtle factual way. I have yellow hair with bands and dark roots after the terrible job the hairdresser did last week. Toward the end the hairdresser told me she is cutter. It was very obvious by the end result. 1/2 a head of foils took 5 hours and $285. I'm stuck trying to find a good hairdresser to fix it before Christmas, new years and my birthday on the the 5th of Jan and all the hairdresser are booked out.
I’m a licensed hairstylist!! I did highlights & they didn’t turn out well!! I was searching for a video by another professional! This really helped I fixed my client’s color with no problem! She was relieved & happy! I actually just did a root touch up with Chi Color & I toned the highlights!
It’s like you just preformed a miracle right in front of my eyes. 😍 it end result looks amazing! I’ve been thinking about going to beauty school to do hair.
Wow you did an awesome job at fixing her hair. This happened to me before. I noticed it the next day after I got my hair done when I was straightening my hair and I text the cosmetologist photos. She correctly it a week later when she had an opening but she also charged me to fix it. I didn’t believe that I should been charged for her to fix her mistake, however, I didn’t want drama and I payed and never went back to her.
Wow, the end result is stunning! I start cosmetology school Monday and I'm sooo excited. Can't wait to learn how to do hair and learn formulas and get my creative juices flowing! Love all your vids. Just discovered your channel this week and I absolutely love it
You are so so good Lauren and your explaination is 10/10. I came here to see color correction to fix my own hair. But after watching your work, i feel like i should become a hairstylist. 😅😅😅
Thank you for this!! I literally just got highlights done 2 days ago and I've been so stressed because they came out looking just like that girl's and I've been miserable thinking I'll be stuck with this
I've watched this video several times and I think I'm going to try to do it on myself...because my hair looks like the before! How long did you leave on the last step?
This video is exactly what I needed. I am a barber so I just cut hair, but starting to teach myself how to highlight and color my own. My struggle is I have probably 50% gray hair mostly in the top and timple area and I like my hair light but my natural color is about a level six so when I color my roots, then it looks too dark to me because I like to be more blonde. Should I use a higher level than shadow root with shades? I have finally been here so I like dimension. My hair does tend to pull brass what are your thoughts to cover gray have dimension yet still be more on the blonde side. It can be tricky.
HELP! My hair has spots of bleach on it and then spots which are untouched :( I wanted to red colour correct my hair and then apply light brown dye all over. Should I put corrector only on the bleached spots or all over? Thankyou! Xx
I haven’t work a lot with Shades, but I’m always amazed that you can still see blonde in the top of the hair! I always expect it to be all brown!! Is it not all brown because of Shades being translucent?
Hey Lauren, I almost forgot,love your work!! I’m an older stylist and using Redken is new for me. Hope you can help me formulate the lowlights for my client with a natural level 6/7. Keep the vids coming!
H really loving the tutorials, I’m a hairstylist in the UK and work alone in a salon I have at my house, so these videos are amazing to keep me up to date! I just have a question about shades eq, I can’t seem to find a wholesaler that stocks it so would a regular demi-colour do the same thing? Thanks in advance 😍
Great correction! Beautiful job. I am not to familiar with all redken line. What processing solution did you use?. It looks thicker that I am use to. Thank you
My new hairdresser (who works out of her house, so I can't just show up there) messed my hair up 3 wks ago. It's not platinum like I have had my foils for yrs, but rather brassy with spots at the top. Plus the foils appear to have slipped so that they are not uniform. They don't go to the top of my hair strands... they are crooked. I sent lots of pics to her but she replied with the b4 & after pics & to say the toner will wash out eventually & I could use purple shampoo. I told her I could use the whole bottle & it's NEVER going to lighten the amber color of the baby, baby foils. I can't fix it myself due to the super fine foils. I would end of turning the darker strands brassy while the original brassy pieces wait to turn platinum. I washed out the toner she put on a best I could & applied a gloss that's light opal blonde & the swatch showed it as a violet platinum. BS! Now my hair is worse & there are NO highlights. It's all a brassy dark dirty hay/ strawberry color. The hairdresser wouldn't even offer to look at my hair. What a waste of my money!
+Alix Palacios good question. It will fade, but it most likely won’t fade enough to completely reveal the underlying pattern. However if it does, it’s an easy touch up. And a client who needs a color correction of course should be warned beforehand they may need maintenance ✌🏻 thanks for watching!
I just came across this video and it's amazing. I seen that you used redken, but are there any other product lines you would recommend using for color melts?
Janette Jack Generally speaking, yes that is a perfectly good rule to follow! However in this case, I am working with so many different porosities because the hair was over processed so I wanted the canvas as even as possible. I would not do this on wet hair. But this is completely towel dried to the point where you can ring out the hair and no water falls out. That way I have evened our the porosity without the water really diluting the product. Hope that helps! Good question!
@@LaurenFrancesHair I do this also when doing a perm. After putting the rods in I spray water all over the rods again before I start processing with the solution.
😍 awwwwwe love seeing daddy get down on the floor with the kiddo while mom's getting pampered love it!!! Sorry had to say that. Your amazing as always!!!
Danikah Smith aww haha yes he is such a great dad! All dads in this video are the best!❤️ that’s actually my baby and my husband is filming while do my husbands best friends wife’s hair 😂 and her son was off doing god knows what!
@@LaurenFrancesHair that's so awesome! Families pulling together to help each other out. Awwwe I love it! I'm so glad you guys have each other like that!
Since Shades Eq will fade, will the root color (6N) help the client in two months, for example, or will the 'spots' reappear when the demi-permanent washes out? I'm still new to all this, so thanks for any input! I'm not a professional !
hello the first mixture use redken shades 6 N and 6g a few drops and then the second mixture 9p and both mixtures with a measure of glass and two of the oxygenated? I am from Spain I do not speak English I put subtitles and I do not understand them well thank you very much
Hi Lauren, thank you for sharing your experiences. I wonder why the color doesn’t cover the highlight because you put it far down. Thank you in advance
I wanted balayage and got tiger stripes :( want to fix it at home by myself. Can it be done with box dye? Or as I call them watermelon highlights. That's how my hair/head looks like a watermelon stripes highlights
Hi, next time when you do a color correction video, can you please open up the hair and show the root shadow, and back up the camera so we can see the entire head blended. Great video otherwise, and you saved the day on that lady's hair color. I use Goldwell and Matrix with my clients usually, and have been watching Redken videos here because the formulations are quite different. What does the tone "T" in the shades stand for?
I like very but i am french and i Don't understand all vocabulary english. Can you help me for doing this technique. Please can you traduction in french. I will buy this color. How doing. I am sorry my english is bad 😢
@@LaurenFrancesHair Usually when you create a video in the RUclips Studio, it will give you the option as to which languages you want the video to be offered in.
Hey! Yes you can sign up for the free training (the link is in the pinned comment) or you can enroll in the full course. (Link in description) thanks Lita ❤️
Hi!! I have to use a middle shade? Or just can I go from roots color and right after the 9p? I have natural a level 3 like 2 inches long and right after is a little orangy/ yellow close to my roots and my middle shaft is bright blonde a nice color can I use the same formula? how long did you leave the last toner on? I appreciate it
Hadassa 76 good question! Two reasons, we are applying it on a level 9/10 and shades eq is translucent which means it is not completely solid so you can see through it!
@@LaurenFrancesHair Thank you so much for the anwser! Now I understand it. I'm not an stylist at all but I love this kind of videos. So,only Redken shades behave this way? Or can I try with another brand? Sorry, I'm from Spain and perhaps my English is not that good.😬
So I’m a level 5, my highlights are a 9/10 and the full head is great - the root smudge is also really well blended… but I think the colour she used is off? It’s kinda warm/orangey at my root? Why would this be?
So what level were you starting with? Is she a level 5 or 6 naturally? Thanks in advance. Also I have a client with heavily highlighted hair and want to add lowlights. She is a level 6/7 naturally. What would you suggest. I just want to break up the blonde a little and don’t want her to be too dark. Thanks in advance.
+Sandra Hoffman hey! Starting level 6! My suggestion for low lighting is to formulate to her natural level and add a slight bit of warmth to prevent it from going muddy. Maybe add a little 6nb shades eq! Hope that helps! You might like my Toning Bible! Check it out here! laurenfranceshair.lpages.co/toning-bible/

I am glad I found a clear step by step video on how to fix this. Question if you dont mind... why a level darker after roots? Thank you for the help❤️
Outstanding. I shared this work with my students. Thanks from New York City.
Great technic,just wish you posted products you are using
Thank you for this!! I literally just got highlights done 2 days ago and I've been so stressed because they came out looking just like that girl's and I've been miserable thinking I'll be stuck with this
Beautiful video. Thanks. Would you pls say the number or level of the colors again for both 6 and 9 ?
This is beautiful. I was worried at first that the blonde would be too dark or covered too much but it’s perfect x

Hi Lauren. May I ask what’s number shade EQ you used. Thanks. You amazing ❤️👍
Wow this is gorgeous you did an amazing fix on her hair! ❤️❤️❤️
Aww thank you Carmel ann!
Hey Lauren, I almost forgot,love your work!! I’m an older stylist and using Redken is new for me. Hope you can help me formulate the lowlights for my client with a natural level 6/7. Keep the vids coming!
+Sandra Hoffman thank you so much! Redken is so great because it is hard to make it go too dark! I replied to your other comment as well!
Cool technique, we have Pravana colour lush instead of shades EQ in the shop, what would you charge for this service in salon out of interest?
I really wanna know the products you used to correct the color pls.. Beacause I don't familiar with the products you used.. Thank you
You seem young to be so good & you know a lot @ other color lines, Great !
Thank you Jessica!
Hermoso trabajo! Desde Buenos Aires 🇦🇷! Quería saber los colores que usaste. Gracias!!!

Paul Mitchell and Joico make great liquid Demi’s as well!
I was thinking to myself colour melt would fix this. Beautiful End result
Sooo pretty!! How long do you leave the clear/9P on before washing?
At 2:40 I think you meant placing that toner instead of lightener
you changed her whole look!
Thanks for this it’s what I’m aiming for and trying to fix spots

Hello! Where can i DM you for advice about my highlights i got done recently? 💗💗
Would the 6n and 6 gi work on any tiger/ bleed spots or depending on the hair color?
I love your final result. I just wanted to ask if I use Redken shades eq. as you did in this video, how long will this color result last?
Hi just wondering if you could name exactly the products and shades you used. Thank you!
But its now a rootstretch ? What if they had wanted it to still be highlights?
how did your 6 formula not turn the whole head dark??? your finished product is gorgeous!!!!
Metal measurer? For peroxide?😯
Thank you. you are positive and encouraging.
I’m wondering how you did the 7N placement wise. I notice not all the hair is in foils.
I just came across this video and it's amazing. I seen that you used redken, but are there any other product lines you would recommend using for color melts?
+crystal jimenez Redken is my favorite but you can used any translucent demi!
The problem I have right now 😕 same area. Hopefully it can be fix
I remember recently seeing in a Guy Tang video he says say that you should only apply colour to dry hair, not when it's wet?

Hi Lauren, thank you for sharing your experiences. I wonder why the color doesn’t cover the highlight because you put it far down.
Thank you in advance
Hey it’s all about the level you use! 😊
Won’t the shades EQ eventually wash out and have the bleeds be visible again?
This exactly how my hair looked after going to the salon. Spots everywhere. I am so mad. I don't even know what to do to save my long hair
I wanted balayage and got tiger stripes :( want to fix it at home by myself. Can it be done with box dye?
Or as I call them watermelon highlights. That's how my hair/head looks like a watermelon stripes highlights
How soon can you fix the uneven highlights? I had it 2 days ago
I can't get shade 6GI in the UK, would 6G be OK please?

Great job. How long did this correction take?

Paula Alejandra thank you so much Paula!
y si fuera con tinte en pomo al principio? como seria la formula?
What if the stripes are lower on the hair shaft, but you want to keep that part light?
Can you do my hair? It's messed up.
Why did't It go darker in the root if you applied a 6 level?
Hadassa 76 good question! Two reasons, we are applying it on a level 9/10 and shades eq is translucent which means it is not completely solid so you can see through it!
@@LaurenFrancesHair Thank you so much for the anwser! Now I understand it. I'm not an stylist at all but I love this kind of videos.

I wish here will be link for all products! Please or more zooming on the product, what the last one was the toner or coloring also I didn't understood
Gorgeous colour! The end look is beautiful.
+Belinda Jane thanks so much!
I just watched your teaching video, You charge by the hour ?
So I’m a level 5, my highlights are a 9/10 and the full head is great - the root smudge is also really well blended… but I think the colour she used is off? It’s kinda warm/orangey at my root? Why would this be?
Thank you for this video ! Very informative!
You are so extremely talented!
What developer did you use to not change the colour of the highlights?
Did you use special activitier to protect the blonde?
The redken one she mentioned I think.
What products did you use please ??
No conditioner on the ends to prevent spotting from combing through the color?
Faith Valles nope!
I wonder if I can do this on my own.
Very nice correction 👌. Congrats !!
Has anyone purchased the ultra blonding course?
so you added her natural color back to the scalp area? thanks
Exactly!
Wish we had shades eq in our salon
So what level were you starting with? Is she a level 5 or 6 naturally? Thanks in advance. Also I have a client with heavily highlighted hair and want to add lowlights. She is a level 6/7 naturally. What would you suggest. I just want to break up the blonde a little and don’t want her to be too dark. Thanks in advance.
+Sandra Hoffman hey! Starting level 6! My suggestion for low lighting is to formulate to her natural level and add a slight bit of warmth to prevent it from going muddy.
