The second I hit publish, my heart sank a little In fear of how you would perceive this video. Thank you for your light hearts and beautiful words, I appreciate you for taking the time to watch this and comment. I have ready each and every comment. 🥺The good news is that I am in such a better place where I could be open about these issues with you now. Love you all!
❤
I have watched your videos for many years and told my husband a dream of mine … one day when i conquer my anxiety/panic disorder and the fear of flying I am going to Sam Fran to have my hair done by Silvia. Little did I know that you struggled too… I can identify with almost everything but nothing tears at your heart more than the fear that your child might not be liked.. I am also a very sensitive empathetic person so I feel the weight of the world so much more than a lot of people. I’ve had anxiety since I can remember and it comes in waves where I am ok for few years and then it gets worse again and I’m just at the low point again .. I will check out a couple of your book recommendations as I am a reader but other than Atomic habits have not heard of the others .. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and struggles, I feel you more than you’ll ever k ow and I’d never judge you for that. ❤❤
Absolutely LOVED this vid! Thanks for being so vulnerable with us, VERY helpful!!! ❤
@ellebangs I appreciate your videos! all of them be you because it makes some of us feel ok to be ourselves as well. You inspire me to feel confident in myself. especially with coloring my hair but just as being a mom and woman in this fast crazy world.
Don’t worry !! I DON’T FELL alone I love the family aspect of your beautiful family ……you are an amazing artist and an amazing mother Silvia !!!!❤
Dirty water doesn't stop plants from growing, don't let negative words stop your progress. Wishing you and your daughter all the happiness and success the world can offer xx
Awe I have never heard this saying. But so true!
What a beautiful comment…👏
I agree. And don’t let analytics dictate who you should be. Comments and analytics can be data to consider, but I believe people follow you because they enjoy your authenticity and desire to share your expertise. I think the way you have educated people about all the variables regarding going blonde, has help most of us realize how complicated and unpredictable it can be to do at home! It’s given me added respect for a good colorist!
People unsubscribe, not because they don't like Amelia, they just once subscribed to maybe hair or makeup video, and now seeing child/mom content doesn't suit their tastes in general. Maybe it triggers them. You never know. Don't blame yourself or you little Amelia for their choices and preferences. Some go, some come, its natural. You are doing a great job with whatever you post!
Girl u have been one of the first people to do you tube and help others get into hair as an art. All of us who have been watching you for all these years are so grateful for you. You got us to level up and cultivate an appreciation for the art of hair and get into how fun this all is. You rock. I have been following u for like 10 years
Me too! I follow her, she's one of the only ones that hasn't changed and is still humble despite the thousands of subscribers, she's so down to earth and calm,I have enjoyed her videos through the years
I'm new at this, her you tube on friobroid was so helpful well done I'm now a subscriber to her I like her Honestly 👌👍👏👏🤗💕❤️❤️❤️
Please don't worry about losing more superficial subscribers. There are SO many of us who appreciate you talking about your struggles with PP Depression, and anxiety and general malaise, that SO many of us share. You are doing a BIG SERVICE to others, that goes above and beyond hair and make-up tips. You are on the right path, please keep going.
BTW a big kiss for Amelia, such a beautiful name. 💛🧡
Love her Low tune voice so many so Loud and scream talk to quick and so I haven't been watching any till now for first time ever I'm enjoying Listening to her while in pain all the time do to fibroid that was so humble honest 👏👏💖💖💖❤️
Awww Sylvia we are all here for you !!!!!!❤
Thank you!! Your continued support means so so much to me.
@@Ellebangs We got you !!!! 💜
@@EllebangsI didn’t even realize there stupid spell check for you’re name sorry !!! ❤please forgive me !
I think overall social media has destroyed more than its helped.
Thank you for sharing your story, you’ve been so brave. This has helped me.
Sylvia, I started watching your TH-cam videos like 10 years ago. You are a true OG TH-camr. When I moved to San Francisco in 2017, you became my hairdresser and I’ve never had a better one. I’ve loved watching your videos post pandemic - watching you learn and grow within yourself, your work, your relationships, and now motherhood. You are relatable and amazingly vulnerable. I have been having a lot of panic attacks lately (tingly fingers, feeling faint) and it always helps to listen you talk about ways you’ve gotten through it. I love you and will always a fan of you and your work! Amazing job editing btw ❤😘!
I miss you Holly! This is the sweetest message ️thank you
Suggest during morning time: Praying, breathing in the goodness of God, being thankful to whom/what? To God. LOVE all the growth and self reflection. During one marriage slump I said to my husband- “you being less than perfect is actually good for me,” it causes self reflection and growth in me. . . And FYI, I come and go- basically I come when I need hair tips for blondes but don’t want to be in you tube more than I need to be. Thanks.
I’m so, so, SO glad to hear that you noticed how scrolling on your cell phone affected your mood. It took me a long time to realize how social media directly correlates with mental health and anxiety. I personally had to quit social media altogether. I’m so much more at peace and have so much more mental clarity. And more importantly I’m present and actually enjoying the current moment. I refuse to live my life on my phone. TH-cam is your job so idk if that’s a realistic option for you but just wanted to share. I wish you the best! Keep going❤️
You have a super power which is hair - focus on that. That’s why I watch. There’s no shortage of mommy content there’s an excess. I hear about mommy complaints all day long in my private life from co workers and friends they can’t help it and can’t stop. I’m not even a mom. But I lend a sympathetic ear to them. So if I see it on TH-cam I’m not going to waste my time watching it. Posting about your daughter is signaling to the audience that your priorities have shifted not because we don’t like your child. I also watch you because I admire your beauty, your skill and talent. You also have great taste - the music you choose in your videos and I’ve gained a lot from all the tips and tricks you’ve shared. Keep going.😊
I’m just here to say that Jesus Christ loves you and wishes to have a relationship with you Sylvia 🫶🏼🤍🙏🏼 I’m praying for you.
Amen to this!
Amen 🙏🏻 ❤
I can understand the feeling of “I’m failing”, yet you’re assessing and adjusting. That’s evolution and growth.
I really appreciate you and your generosity in sharing your knowledge on hair coloring and styling. You have helped so many people who are on budgets or who may be home bound. In a genuinely kind way you have given us the formulas and instilled in us the confidence that we can still have good hair. Thank you for all that you do!!☀️🌺💜💜
Life is filled with ups and downs . You are a beautiful soul with a beautiful baby and family. Be true to yourself always ~ ❤
Wow. You just gained me as a fan BIG TIME. I discovered you about two months ago when I had an at home hair disaster. I found you so helpful and started to watch lots of your videos to understand what happened to my hair and I learned so much. I so appreciate what you just shared and totally understand anxiety and panic attacks and marvel that despite struggling with this you chose a public forum to have your business in. It takes guts and so much strength these days with cancel culture and people being offended by literally everything. And also ppl don't get how hard it is to make videos. Talking and smiling at the same time, remember your topic, staying on track, editing all while making it look pro and so easy when it can be really hard! You are SO talented!! Please keep making your videos. I think you are wonderful!!!
Silvia, you are a beautiful and brilliant light, as a hair colorist and as a mom! I've seen you grow and continue to inspire others through the years. Don't allow others to diminish your light. Plus, I ❤ the videos of Amelia. She makes everything better in your channel!
You, Sam Ravndahl, Steph Lange and a few others are such authentic women and your audiences love you for it.
I’m so sorry you are going through this 💛 you seem like the most genuine, kind person and you deserve happiness!
Your channel was the 1st channel I ever subscribed to on TH-cam. I have always loved how insightful and informative you are. You have taught me SO MUCH! I've loved watching you change and grow and come into your own and now that you are a mother and still doing your thing, it's just beautiful to watch! I love that your daughter is blessed to have a mama that cares to cater to people that cannot afford to go to a salon, but you still help us all to have beautiful hair! She gets to see you have a heart for humans all over, whether we can afford to pay salon prices or not. Whether we are your in person client or not. That's amazing and you are the first person I've ever seen take these professional skills and share that knowledge selflessly. I hope you grow tremendously in your in person and online client base because you deserve it! - from another mother trying to make everything work while dealing with the same mental struggles, I appreciate you so much!!
Aww we love your baby!! Don’t ever hide that part of your life!! ❤❤❤
You have been my go to girl for years. I have watched you grow to being so much more confident in front of the camera. Thank you for being AUTHENTIC. You're more then just wealth of knowledge about hair. Sometimes we viewers forget that. ❤
Hello Sylvia, I wanted to express how much I appreciate your videos. Your loyal subscribers who admire you for who you are will continue to support you and help grow your subscriber count. I also adore seeing Adam and your beautiful baby, as well as sweet Olive. Your home design and everything you do are truly inspiring. I relate to the emotions you shared in this video and I'm definitely going to read the books you recommended. Looking forward to more “anything you feel like sharing” content! ❤
You are the best blonde colorist I have seen. I have fine thin hair and have learned so much from your expertise. I have been a nurse for sooo many years and sometimes we all feel imposter syndrome. The trauma codes I have worked in say otherwise. You are not an imposter, but rather an artist. I love your hair videos and that’s what I enjoy watching. Your doing a great job. You will figure out what you need to do for your business and what is best for you and your family. Everything will fall into place.
Elle, your vulnerability just makes you more beautiful and authentic - something that is very hard to come by on social media. I have recently subscribed to your channel because you did exactly what you said - you brought content that was so meaningful and made a difference, you are constantly living the difference, growing as a person on a live stage! That’s brave and beautiful. Your philosophy in life is to become the best version of yourself and that is what you present and that’s not easy when you have a lot of pressure to deliver on people’s changing needs and wants. I respect the time and energy you put into bringing your content to the world. I’m going to go and read the books you read as they resonate with me and if you ever start a book club please let us know. Kind regards, Charlie ❤
Analytics arent important
Your child is 100% important ❤
This ❤️
Since the pandemic, TH-cam has become such a big part of my morning routine. It’s my quiet uninterrupted time to have coffee and enjoy hair and makeup content (I’m not a book reader. lol). To that, I just wanted to say “thank you” for all the amazing, educational, and informative content ❤
I started watching you during the pandemic when I wanted to do my own hair. You helped me so much! Thank you! So I just want to say, after watching this video, that I relate to you so much and feel a lot of the same things (wanted to be the perfect mom, love my alone time, reading, have had to learn to forgive others for not meeting my high standards that I set for myself!). Just want you to feel great about being who you are, because you’re perfect just as you are. We all are. It’s taken me 60 years to figure that out. 😉
It has been a pleasure watching you grow. I have been watching sporadically for at least 10 years. You have patiently helped me when I have not been able to afford the hair I want and I have learned alot. Believe it or not, last night I showed my husband a video I was watching. I've been out of work with health issue and I have long healthy hair and I'm thinking of a change that of course, I can't afford right now. Anyways, I showed him your video and told him how I appreciate the realistic and detailed the advice you give is. I appreciate how care you are with your words and advice. I can really tell how much teaching means to you as a hair stylist. Some of what you have saying about how anxiety manifests for you have been eye opening and so relatable. I'm sorry this has been stressful for you. I think I would have been shocked to see subscribers drop off! You definitely don't need my advice, but try to continue to do what you think is best, I think it will work out. You remain flawless in my eyes queen. Also, don't stop growing. Thank you for your free advice and education. Knowing how serious you do take your job only gives me more confidence to take your advice. ❤
Always absolutely loved your hair videos! You really helped me with my hair colours and opened up a new world of toners that I didn’t know about.
But now you’ve done so much good doing this so honestly! No one is perfect, so don’t go there - you are so beautiful as you are Sylvia. Love that you’re prepared to go on a journey, and take us on your ride.
This might be old school to say, but, ‘go girl, go’. xx
PS I have a diagnosis of anxiety ‘n panic attacks - I’m so glad all these topics are being talked about. Thanks soo much.
Thank you for being so brave! ❤ you have confronted so many Human hurts that touch all of us.
The video was GREAT!!! Especially the advice at the very end!!! the Bible is my book suggestion.
I think it is beautiful that you are sharing your personal life. I know this is just me talking, but I very much was interested to learn who you were as a person, I used to watch a lot of your videos on how to DIY hair, and if I am being honest, I did not understand you at all at that point, I just learned a lot from you, and I may have, not intentionally, thought you were shallow a little, and you are like the furthest thing from the notions I had from you. You are beautiful on the inside and outside. With that being said, I could be wrong here, but maybe the people unsubscribing are literally just there to learn, or maybe their are some people that don't care to know who you are, they just want your skills, so its not like a personal thing, they have a goal, and maybe they thought you were moving in a different direction, or maybe they learned what they needed to learn from you. I am personally, very very grateful, for what I have learned from you. I do my own hair to this day, and people love my hair. Also, a lot of people were about this during the pandemic, and now they are able to go back to the salon, and you did have your beautiful little girl, and you life kind of being shared around that time, so maybe that played into it as well. I can see that you are a perfectionist, and girl, you have so much going for you, I pray that you don't feel the need to impress anyone anymore! However, I am impressed. God bless you!
Silvia, Forgive, and move forward! It will bring you peace. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers!
I started watching you when I was a hairdresser. I no longer do hair because of disability. I appreciate you sharing your life and your child. I am a mum so I love watching people who have a family and a career. ❤ xx
Remember your content has always been educational first and foremost. You have been generous in teaching skills!! Hair, style, make up, skin care, etc.
You are an educator and your personality and lifestyle and Adam and Amelia are all just icing on top . But please don’t be distracted or analyze how people receive the icing. Many are here for the cake only.
I am still on minute 1 but I just want to tell you that I adore your personality no matter what kind of videos you upload. You have my support, you are amazing!!! ❤
I never comment on videos but felt you deserved a comment. I’ve been a long time viewer, maybe 5 or 6 years.
I don’t watch every video because most don’t apply to my hair, but the videos I’ve found that do are so so helpful! I appreciate the advice you’ve given. I’ve always admired your hair, makeup, and style. I would love to see lifestyle vlogs, or style tips. I would definitely watch those videos!
I’m glad you posted this. This alone will keep me as a subscriber for years to come. Best of luck to you! :)
I love your vulnerability. You’re such a sweet soul! God bless!
There’s no way to
Please everyone, people come and go, if sometimes you are feeling poorly validate that it's okay, let go of what you can’t control.the ones enjoying your channel are here❤
This video was so inspiring. Thank you for sharing . It really shows the strength you carry. I’m so happy that you have found some peace and joy in your heart. Praise God. 🔥🤍🙏🏽
Thank you for trusting me/us/your audience with this incredibly beautiful post! Wim Hof methodis amazing!! I have multiple chronic illnesses and his ice bath/shower methods really help me! So glad you have found yourself and are doing your best!! Keep it up mama!!
Transparency is brave and beautiful , you are not a failure and your baby is beautiful . ❤
I’m totally new to your channel. I wanted to learn how to tone my own blonde hair at home. It’s not something most blonde specialists share. But I’ve watched many of your videos now. You’re SO genuine. You can’t please everyone. Be true to yourself and give yourself grace ❤ I appreciate you being vulnerable with us. 🫶🏻
This almost made me cry because I have been subscribed for so long because I have always though you were just amazing. It’s heartbreaking to hear your sadness because to me you *are* all the things you believed you were in your strongest hours.
I understand life has its ups and downs (had a bit of a day myself today) it’s expected, it will pass and if handled correctly, we grow better.
God bless and loads of love ❤
Don’t blame your self please I have been watching you for years you are a wonderful person and you are a child of God every one has ups and downs in there life up and down valleys you will get Thur miss it shall you pass you have a lot of followers your life is more important please Stay Strong All the Angels Have there arms around you and are protecting you and your daughter You Are Strong Luv Liz👱♀️🙏🏻🤴🏼😘🌟
Just randomly fell on your channel looking for lowlight hair info and have come away feeling inspired and motivated. Can relate to so much here. Great tips, good for you, awesome video!
Thank you for being so open and raw. Been here since the beginning and everything you said resonated a lot with me. And I completely relate to crippling anxiety and imposter syndrome. Thank you for not giving up but continuing to grow and learn and create better routines and ways of thinking about yourself. You are appreciated, valued and you MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
I’m so happy you’re continuing to grow, accepting yourself, and just plain hangin in!
I've been following you for so long and have always used all the advice you have given and have enjoyed glimpses in your life. A beautiful strong woman like you translates super confident on screen. You just need to be yourself like you have been , authentic - do not worry about those who cannot see you clearly on here. Sending you strength I suffer with anxiety also and it's a daily battle.
I cannot tell you how many haircuts I have given myself thanks to your channel. Your content has helped me so much with everything from hair to makeup to just chilling and enjoying your content. YOUR baby is everything!! Gorgeous. AND I don't have kids but I loved watching you with her. Thank you for being so open in this video as I imagine it was not easy to do. I am here for all of it....the hair, the life issues and the baby!!!! Sending you love.
Love Wim Hoff and have dug into Human Design.❤️ I haven't watched any of your videos in a couple years. I'm so excited you are digging into these things and i can relate to you even more now. Meditation has been the best thing over anything that has helped me with anxiety.💝
Your articulation on your journey is rather impressive. Thank you for sharing ❤.
Book recommendation, ok so I am in my mid 40’s and have gone on the self help, reflection book dive, which of course did a lot of good, so I am glad your getting so much out of it. As for the past three years, I had been in a rather stressful situation and turned to books again but this time, I went into historical, romance. I know it may seem funny, but I didn’t really know what I liked and had to discover it through books. My suggestion is read as much as you can and find what you love, it’s a game changer.
So I started watching your videos about a year ago, I have been cutting hair for 20 years on the side for family and friends. About 7 months ago the company I was working for went under, and I turned to hair. I ate up so many of your videos and you made me believe I could do it. I watched you do some crazy things that I thought might not work out and they did. Sometimes I am so afraid that I am not going to make the customer happy or do something wrong that I can’t get over it. I am glad you were able to share that even when you had your dream situation you still struggled with the feeling that you weren’t as good or that you weren’t perfect.
Keep going, many blessings to you and your family and thank you.❤
I watched this video 6 months after you put it out. In my opinion you are being too hard on yourself. I have watched hundreds of video on hair and you are by far the best I have seen. You explain things so a non stylist can still comprehend . You seem like a very smart , ambitious beautiful lady. I truly believe you can do anything you set out to do. There will always be haters and very jealous people. Continue being yourself never compromise. Best of luck to you I'll be watching and praying for you
'"the truth is I'm a complainer" girl me to and your absolutely right about it being stemmed from anxiety (at least for me too)
I just found your videos for hair - single mama of two, unable to afford salons. I felt so happy to find a professional helping us. I was also drawn to your presence in the videos. I’m very happy you’ve opened up. I too survived PPD. In addition to imposter syndrome. In addition, recently divorced. Thank you for sharing, your vulnerability makes me want to support you even more.
You are my go to! I’ve followed you since the beginning. I also struggle with many similar issues. Totally your “true supporter” Imposter syndrome keeps me from scheduling consultations with you!!! Still doing my own hair and watching your videos! You cultivate a safe place for me on dark days which then motivates me to find my creative/artistic outlet along with self care. I adore you!
I struggle with severe depression and anxiety. So I can relate to the anxiety. Just you having the courage to do TH-cam videos is ALOT. I remember first watching you and I could feel your anxiety. But I admired your courage to get through it despite you going through it. I do agree with breathing. I had started getting palpitations, so my anxiety was affecting my heart! Breathing was what actually stopped it. Do not underestimate the power of just breathing. So when people say just breath, it makes me mad initially lol but honestly, idk where I’d be if I didn’t do it. I so appreciate your honesty. I really truly enjoy transparent videos like this. It might be hard to film so for that I thank you. But I appreciate having someone to relate to despite your success! You’re an inspiration.
Continuing from my previous comment, I want to thank you for helping me look my best by providing hair care information and tutorials, beauty, fashion etc. You do meet the needs of many people. I love doing my own hair as well as my daughters. I have frequently been let down by hairdressers or just find it unaffordable. You have helped me look after our hair at home and I thank you for that.
You are so beautiful inside & out. I really appreciate your authentic offering, raw vulnerability in sharing. As an introvert in a professional public space dealing with anxiety it’s so difficult to do this and I commend you, hear you, respect you, applaud you and thank you.
I too have lived with anxiety and the breathing techniques I do have helped me tremendously throughout my life. Routine also helps me. You’re not alone💕
God bless all three of you.
thank you!!
You’re welcome. I’ve watched you for years.
Thank you for taking the time to share this! You’ve inspired me to try to get up earlier and get back to a routine. I greatly appreciate your honesty throughout your videos, and for a couple of years now I’ve been watching your hair styling tips. As a mom of four, getting in to my favorite salon is difficult physically and financially, and I fully admit that doing my hair at home is never the same as going to a talented professional. Thank you for helping so many of us to “up our game” with our home efforts. What you have gifted us all with, will, I believe, come back to you.
We are our own worst enemy. Keep working hard. You're successful and will continue to grow. 🙏
I never comment on videos, but I feel like I have to on this since it resonates with me so much. The last couple of minutes, especially. It is inspiring. I have watched your videos for years and appreciate you for teaching me how to color and cut my own hair. I am fascinated with hair but never went to school for it. I am a 47 year old mom of beautiful twin girls in college, an esthetician, a nail tech, and an artist, and I always want to teach others what I know through my experiences. Even more now that I have been receiving therapy for anxiety, ptsd, depression,ADD, perfectionism, etc. I have felt deeply that I should be making and sharing content to help others. But I have never made a video and don't even know where to begin. It feels like time just keeps passing, and making progress toward anything feels so slow when you have anxiety and perfectionism. I admire your vulnerability. It really spoke to my heart.
I like your business philosophy & I agree it works. I always stuck with your channel for hair & because you are so open and real. I love that! Please trust your instincts & don’t change! There are more stupid comments now everywhere, please ignore them as much as you can.
So I am a very well respected person in my profession have worked w many many high profile people in my field. After they noticed I was pregnant, I was “let go.” And they brought in a guy w MUCH less knowledge and skill that I had. I had nothing but praise when I had this one job. I realized what was important and the people who could STILL see me for what I was worth- is where I chose to work!!
Aww, our children are a month apart, I loved seeing your baby-boo!
Your videos on anxiety posted a few years ago and they helped me ALOT! Advice on looking in the mirror and speaking words of love and appreciation were foreign to me at the time. You are a positive influence on the world ❤
I have always felt like I wanted to know you more? I felt like there was a disconnect?! I thought it was just your personality!!! I am very grateful and happy that your plan to be more open and real! I feel it will help you be more relatable and seems like life isn’t always roses and butterflies! Of course share the happy and joy in your life but just be whatever you are in that video that day? If that makes sense thank you. We love and adore you!!
I like you❤ Truly i find u incredibly relatable. Yes its your salon tips etc… that initially attracted me to u, but the more u share, i relize that u & i are eerily similar. I truly take so much from your videos. I think Youre doin great girl 😊 & thank u very much for opening up. ❤
One of your videos i enjoyed most was your Hawaii vacation with hubby and your adorable little girl hugs 🤗 I suffer from anxiety depression , I look forward to the weekend and end up staying home 😕
Look, There isn’t anything you have done wrong. You do GREAT HAIR. Your videos have put knowledge into the minds of aspiring hair dressers, as well as the general public- YOU HELP ALOT. You are surely dedicated to your profession. It shows -your passion- your skill-your TH-cam commitment-just want to say Thank you. .
When you mentioned 12 years on TH-cam I had to look back and noticed I have been subscribed for 10 years. Wow time has flown by! I haven’t watched your videos in a long time because you haven’t been shown in my feed until today. I always love your hair color because we share the same eye color and skin tone. I always remember your cool tone and warm tone video.
You are very raw and real with your stories. You do whatever you want to do...Lots of love!
I love learning about hair, you have outstanding and amazing videos with great tips and informative insight on hair care. It’s all detailed and very thorough information you put out which i enjoy. It’s a passion of mine to learn about hair care, I am a licensed cosmetologist but currently not working in the industry. I have a three and five year old and I have sacrificed soo much financially in taking financial cuts and lost so I could have more time to be around for them. This video has touched me in a deeper sense of understanding a lot of the feelings that I have and I just have dealt mostly. Things you mentioned have shined light and understanding, they’re relatable to what I can change and perhaps bring out a better overall me and how to cope. In general. I appreciate your honesty and I appreciate this video. Thank you for putting out this information a
that has brought attention and awareness to some things that no one ever talks about.
I usually don't comment on videos, but I felt compelled to make an exception this time. Your story resonated deeply with me, as I also struggle with anxiety and imposter syndrome. Thank you so much for sharing your journey; it's reassuring to know that I'm not alone in this. Also, I love the idea of starting a book club! Count me in if you decide to go through with it
Hello, I'm from Puerto Rico, I don't know how much I follow you but all my friends know you because I say I have a friend on TH-cam who teaches me everything and I send them screenshots of the videos with your techniques which I love. Thank you for sharing your feelings because I feel that You are part of my life so thank you for all your tricks and for your passion to share it with us.❤
Remember this one thing-social media invites opinions and ridicule as well as compliments and praise. But you owe us nothing if tomorrow you decided to pull your TH-cam videos and not do anymore. We would surely miss you, but we would probably see it as you wanted time alone with your family and your job. Do you. In everything. You are doing it all right. You’ve even made us all better women because of your videos. Especially this one. You Rock!
I have to tell you, I LOVE your hair videos and you have inspired me to get the hair I want from home. When this popped up on my feed I had to watch it, even though it wasn’t a hair video because I saw the title and you showing transparency and vulnerability is amazing. A lot of people are not brave enough to do that, and I love that about you ! Thank you !
Love the content with your daughter and everyday life. I’ll be honest I don’t always get to the hair videos you post but the personal vlogs…. Always! My favorite.
I’ve loved watching your hair videos over the years. Keep being you
Forgiveness is absolutely life changing. It just means you have a deeper capacity to love people, even when they have hurt you. Once you make the connection that it isn’t about what it does for the other person but how transformative it is for you and your own growth, the possibilities are endless. ❤
Everyone shares the highlights of their lives, it's in our nature to want people to see the best version of ourselves, but I think it takes a secure and courageous person to show the good, the bad, and the ugly and know that people respond to that with respect and admiration. God bless you in your career and life, love you girl!❤
I have struggled for years with anxiety and not feeling like enough...I am proud of you for being vulnerable, for having awareness, for trying to make positive movements forward. You are not alone!!!! Many of the things you have said, I have felt the same way!!! And I TOTALLY hear you about the "complaining thing" because I do the same thing...and I don't consider myself complaining but like you said, needing someone to realize I'm not ok. Hang in there!! I hope you are doing better now!!
Sylvia, I appreciate your honesty on all topics shared today. The part where you spoke of your daughter made me sad. I started watching your videos because of all the hair coloring tips but I also enjoy watching you as a mom. However I understand each person’s interests are different. I am happy for you that your’re on this quest of self awareness. Gave me some food for thought💕
Sylvia you are a beautiful human. I appreciate and commend you on sharing so much of your personal experience. You are successful in raising awareness of anxiety, being a new Mum, and professional young woman. I find you incredibly inspiring, and someone I would enjoy to get to know better. There are a lot of not very nice people in the world who are unable to appreciate your light. Keep going, you are amazing. Thank you for sharing and I love seeing your beautiful daughter and life.

You are the sweetest! I LOVE the videos w Millie and generally love seeing mothers be moms. Its super sweet. You seem to be coming to an awakening stage in your life and that is sooo special! Many people never reach this stage of consciousness. You seem much more spiritual than your husband and that is such a special gift you have! Continue seeking info that is making you feel better in your spirt no matter what anyone says
Thank you for sharing. We all need to hear this because most of us have gone thru or going thru this same experience, finding ourselves as we go through life changes. Again, thank you for being so open and honest💕
Your a strong woman, everything will ok
Sylvia you are such an inspiration to me! I love your videos and how approachable and kind you are. Your way of opening up and delivering advice makes you feel like the friend we all need. 🩷
Hello Silvia, I went to get my hair done to your salon in San Francisco and because you are so sweet and carried ❤ with your advise you don’t know this but you brought me out off depression. I had just lost my mom and you shared what your family went through when you lost your grandma that clicked to me and made me and I realized that my THAT family needed me and they really wanted to help so I allowed them to help me and it work beautifully You also recommend go see a professional but after that conversation i just focus on me and my family and I was able to overcome MY depression OF 18 MONTHS What also help me was that you gave me confidence i got many many many complements on my hair. I wish you can do my hair again so I can look and feel beautiful again CUZ you are so talented, but I lost your contact info. Million thanks GOD BLESS YOU
I've been watching your channel for some time now, learning how to color my own hair, because to me it's a form of self-expression, and also probably a form of OCD as well if I think about it! But hearing someone else share that they have had the same struggles as me, that there are others out there like me, and no less someone who looks literally as amazing as you do, is just so validating. And I know I'm not the only one thinking this. Thank you - thank you for sharing so authentically, as you are validating the experiences of so many of us who look on instagram, youtube, wherever, and see beautiful people, and can know that not everyone is actually perfect, even if they present themselves this way. You are so tremendously beautiful, smart and talented. Keep up the amazing work!!!
Omg, I love human design. Also, look into Hellinger’s work in family constellations. He has several books. It’s based on healing generational trauma- believe me, we all have it, it’s been passed down 🌷truly healing!
Oh and thank you for being so vulnerable publicly. Love your work and getting to know you more! ❤
I took cosmetology over 25 years ago, & have learned more from just 3 of your videos, than I ever learned in class.
A regular schedule of eating & sleeping is the absolute must for raising non-combative humans & animals (we all get cranky when hungry or sleepy). Just doing those two things will make life so much easier for everyone.
I’d like to insert what you did not; those “free” things are taxed at their retail value. Therefore, any gift from a company or money made off links is taxed.
This means so much to me. So gald you have learned from my videos and hopefully motivated you to continue in this field.
Sylvia, I’m pretty sure you were the first TH-camr (as far as I knew) who actually taught us how to color and care for our own hair. I’ve been watching you since way back when, but only really when I wanted to know about something “hair”. I would binge watch from time to time and wondered what your life was like. I think most of us actually appreciate when you express more of who you are, as a mom and as a self aware seeker too. (I’m a manifesting generator and my son is a projector 😊). I think it’s actually ideal for you to express what you have on your mind as you’re sharing hair and makeup/style tips and let everyone who would demand that you only share a tiny portion of yourself (and only the part they want for free) fall away. That’s actually making your channel so much more real and engaging for the more authentic viewers who live multifaceted lives too and will find many more reasons to watch more of your content. 🎉
you are amazing… you are the only hairdresser that I trust and love on you tube
We love seeing that baby girl and we love you! We like seeing your journey and I will continue to follow your channel 💕
It may be that those people have had trouble conceiving or carrying to term. You’re amazing! Keep going ❤
