Three years of balayage before I realized I was pulling the sections wrong

Had a client with really fine hair last week who kept complaining about banding, and I thought it was her toner. Turned out I was doing my balayage sections in straight lines instead of following the curve of her head. My coworker watched me for 5 minutes and just said 'you know those aren't supposed to be straight rows right?' Has anyone else had that embarrassing moment where a basic technique just clicked way later than it should have?

Oh god, the coworker watching you for 5 minutes before saying anything is the real crime here. Like thanks for letting me suffer through that whole time before dropping the truth bomb.

Five minutes is basically a full standup comedy set without getting paid.
