Mix my developer for 7 years before a client pointed out I was doing it backwards
Was mixing color and developer in a 1:2 ratio. Thought that was standard. Client was a retired cosmetologist. Watched me mix and asked why I was doing it opposite. Turns out it's 2:1. Color first then developer. Not the other way around. Felt like an idiot. Has anyone else had a basic thing totally backwards for years?

Ha, honestly I don't think this is that big of a deal. At the end of the day you were still mixing color and developer together, just in a different order. I've seen a lot of people mess up way worse things in a salon and it still turned out fine. Your mileage may vary but I bet the color was probably coming out okay anyway if nobody complained for 7 years. Sometimes we overthink these little details way too much.
