Just crossed 500 color correction clients and I'm exhausted

I hit my 500th color correction appointment last week and honestly it made me stop and think. That's five hundred times someone came to me because their box dye went wrong or another stylist messed up their highlights. My hands are shot from all the foiling and I've probably spent 2000 hours just removing unwanted tones. What really gets me is how many of those clients could have avoided the whole mess with a simple consultation beforehand. I started tracking it about three years ago when I noticed corrections were taking over my book and it just kept climbing. Anyone else feel like color corrections are taking up way too much of their schedule now?

A stylist friend of mine was just telling me she hit 600 last month and had to start turning clients away. It makes you wonder if people realize how much damage they're doing at home with those box dyes.

Wait, is that 600 clients or 600 dollars because honestly both numbers scare me for different reasons? Box dye warriors out here really think they're saving money when they're just paying for it later with a "fix this mess" appointment.

Gotta wonder how many of those 600 clients are fixing box dye disasters.
