Got told my blending was too harsh and it made me rethink everything

So I've been doing hair for like 7 years now, and I always thought I had a solid technique for shadow roots. Last month this client straight up told me the blend from her roots to her mids looked like a hard line. She wasn't being rude about it, just honest. At first I was kinda defensive because I thought I was doing it right. But I looked at her hair in that salon mirror and she was totally correct, I could see the demarcation plain as day. So I switched up my method, started using a finer tooth comb and pulling the color through way slower section by section. Now I'm wondering if my old way was actually rushing the process just to save 10 minutes. Has anyone else had a client call out a flaw that totally shifted how you work? Or do you stick with what you learned in beauty school no matter what?

Did you try backcombing the roots before blending?

Wait you didn't backcomb first? Oh man that changes everything.

Backcombing first was a game changer for me @hayden_butler27, made the blend way cleaner and longer lasting.
