All your videos are going to use yout dctl now?

[Giovanni-Giorgio]

Oh noo, my client prefers the 'Beginner' result. I will cry now 😢

30:20 - I do not get this "sat false color" chart thing. When you edited the beginner method and something was magenta there, you have said that it is not good and breaking (8:23), now in the pro version we actually want this?

[TheyCallMeCotton]

Can you make a video comparing look dna to look, lab, print by mono nodes?

[tretay]

This was a great video I’m glad you showed all 3 stages first because it helped me identify where I’m at and you showed how to connect the dots to the next stage. This video is what I needed and you showed how to use your new tools definitely saving this 🙌🏾

[tanmayluthia]

I really liked you before when you used to actually give out useful knowledge. Now you have reverted to selling more of your looks, hope to see the old qazi back.

[ShreshthVerma]

Hi Qazi, actually as a college student i don't have much time to watch the video this long but i can surely say this video will be a fire, can you provide me this footage to practice along, Pleasee and Yeah i'm a BIG FAN 🙂

[wilismatrix]

A pro colorist doesn't need dctls.. All your videos now are about selling your dctls, that is understandable.

[rezamokhtari]

OK. But how to switch from clients that prefer Intermediate or Beginner to those who prefer the Professional ?
