In this episode, Taji visits a hair colorist who has received numerous one star reviews. Watch to see the results of his Florida inspired look as he puts his hair on the line yet again.

This dude is keeping Vice alive, one flame shirt at a time.
This not what vice about tho, this video weak compared to the rest
Hey don’t disrespect Hamilton that way
kill ni
Yeah, those guys that go into warzones are pretty lame. Cmon, this is funny but Vice is still making many excellent reports

She actually nailed your request perfectly!
The hair is actually pretty sick
100%!
Kinda thinking about getting this done too
Haha yup! That was the best part.
Absolute hunk, and that charisma, smoking hot. Love a bit of Taj and his deadpan/serial killer vibe.
The “live laugh love” conversion into the 1 star was wonderful
Really added some “wow” to it
agree, vice’s editor is the mvp right here
I believe they call that a "transition"!
That’s too funny. I made a conscious note of that too. Lol
the sound was on point too
Yep, broke out of the 80's style, that was a full 1993 right there, just like the hairstyle lol
I used to work at 209 and those were some of my fondest memories of my career. It’s where I built my clientele. They are the sweetest family. Her parents were running it at the time and I hope all is well with them. Sabrina was the sweetest always friendly with my customers and I . Yes the place is a humble spot but that was what genuine about it, it was family run mom and pop. They also had a bad ass nail tech Annette, she was the best at foot massages I really miss those simple days. It was sad to leave but had to spread my wings once I grew my family. Much love to the Ramos family ❤️❤️🙏🏽
Nice story and it makes it better that you worked there.
That's really nice to hear ,she seems like a great lady
@Caper Guy it’s called business, bub
Awwww...
@@LilyGentile you tell’em Lily
I love his social akwardness and how he goes into everything with such an untainted opinion even though he’s only read bad reviews. He has such a cute shyness and sweetness about him that not many people have and I love it.
no simping
I agree. These qualities are underated.
He reminds me of Michael Cera.His awkwardness and sweet nature is part of his charm.
I could say all the same things about the lady.
he's not actually that awkward lmao he's acting
He's so freakin cute, the frosted tips and the flame shirt are early 2000's perfection *chefs kiss*
That flame shirt!
*guy fieri kiss*
no literally i wonder if he wore it intentionally hehe
@@lexnandez6082 most likely lol
Now he needs to eat at all the 5 star diners.
no no, she’s right. darker hair, and all types of hair, are extremely different and results will vary. people don’t realize it takes multiple sessions, lots of money, and a bunch of time in order to get desired results
Absolutely
That’s not completely accurate. You could use different peroxides and lighteners and colors to get an even result. Especially if the hair is virgin hair.
@@elleendeavor6429 sure, you can, but you can only lighten dark hair to an extent in one session, or you run a risk of severely damaging the hair and making it fall out, we don't know for sure what happened here, they might've had boxed dye or had a product in the hair that could've messed with the results, she also said she told the lady she needed to do something to her hair to get the desired result so im guessing it's one of the two.
@@nxna5932 I’m not disputing that. I’m saying that you can use a myriad of products and techniques to get an even or even enough result throughout the hair. If the clients hair is two different colors noticeable enough that it bothers them or they complain, it needs to be addressed.
@@elleendeavor6429 going platinum blonde in one sitting isn’t a reality without damage
I can sympathise with Sabrina, the semi-rant she had about the Karens she has served spoke to me. You can tell she's dealt with some horrible people and has had her reputation tarnished because of them. At moments I thought she was going to break down when Taj brought up the negative reviews because she probably thought "oh here we go again", poor woman 😓
Those frosted tips actually look really good, she did a great job!
ikr lol
Sheeeeit, Ashia, you look good 🖤
For real! Lookin snazzy
She got better through PRACTICE
You four must be from Florida. Frosted tips never look good. Frosted tips are the mullet of dye jobs
This lady was awesome and you can tell she has dealt with some major Karens, especially i florida!!! I feel for her. This man is doing some serious community service for these people. So wholesome
@Itsokay tobewhite i have that feeling as well
@Itsokay tobewhite u mean karenishas lfmaoo
@Itsokay tobewhite black women don’t go to white salons, we have different requests.
@Dana Miller lol karen
@Itsokay tobewhite your name says it all looooooooooooooool
My only issue is that the shop is filthy but the color actually looks pretty good!I wish you would’ve let her give you a cut, that would’ve tied it all together!
it is a nice frosty blonde!
right! like a lil shape up in the back & on the sides, woulda really pulled the look together. but facts it seemed a lil unhygienic how filthy the shop was
This doesn’t require a lot of work.It requires more skill and training to keep up with the trends and apply new techniques.
And the mask below the nose
@@seamistseamist What is the point of having the mask on if your not covering your face.
She did such a great job she literally did exactly what you wanted!!! A perfect middle of the two pics you showed her
LOL his "nervous-awkward" forced smiles are the best part
Yeah, everything is pretty genuine about this show except he doesn’t actually leave a review
@@penguiin12 wow does he really not?
@@penguiin12 But he kinda does. Word of mouth is the best advertisement. He left his review for millions to see and hear. That's better than any Yelp review
@@brettking8663 thats not the point of my comment dude, i was saying the last part of the show where it shows him typing and narrating a review as if he's posting it on yelp is fake. there is no review from him if you look up the businesses he's been to
@@kazkiya yeah, if you look up any of the businesses he's been to you will not see a review from him or from anyone at vice. maybe they left reviews and yelp deleted it but i doubt that personally
I totally understand how she feels, some people think because it’s a small biz. they can walk in and bully the owner something they won’t try when they get poor services from big businesses.
I’ve seen it happen and it’s very heartbreaking, because the struggle a small business goes through is real. Also I’ve seen people even go to the BBB and report them.
She's not helping herself ....look at that place,it's disgusting. She needs to make an effort and start by cleaning that place. It wont cost much money,....rags and 2 bottles of a good cleaning product.
There's no way that she has many repeat customers ,again...just starting with the nastiness.
It's not right to take people's money and wash their hair in a sink that's dirtier than the person hair.
Reviews are king in this kind of business, I think a lot of small businesses let the person not pay and just don't allow those customers from coming again. I also agree with others in the comments who say she needs to put more into the look and feel of the setting. Customers may even be happier with their hair if it's a nicer setting, it may prime the customer into thinking they are getting a worse cut if the setting is ugly.
And people tend to only leave reviews when they had a horrible experience. If they just had a typical day at the salon they are not likely to take the time to leave a review. This can leave an establishment looking much worse than they really are.
It was hard to watch him confront her. Super awkward.
I don’t like watching awkward.🤨
Very true
I've seen a lot of videos of people taking advantage of small business, getting what they want but then acting like it's wrong so they don't have to pay. She seems sweet and did a good job. Wishing her the best!!!
“1 Star Reviews” would be an absolutely unreal tv show. Throw it on TLC
TLC would definitely be the channel that would host a show like that lmao. TLC or A&E
Vice is already a tv challen owned by A&E
I really like what this show does. Despite focusing in a humoristic take it shows there are true people related to the reviews, and that reviews don't depict the whole picture. Empathy is needed, and it doesn't need to be flattery.
(Awkward silence)
Taj: “I like your shoes”
😂😂😂
And the cut right after 😂😂 the editor needs a raise
He gets a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️just for that comment.
😂
that tip was from the 1star dating coach haha
Mate that hairstyle actually really suits you. Sabrina I hope you read these reviews because you are a lovely human being. I can tell you are doing the best you can with your situation. I almost see some pain behind your eyes. Keep up the great work.
And the mask ALWAYS goes above the nose!
As a stylist I can say that we really appreciate when you love your hair to please give us a review. Negative people run to Yelp and try to take you down
Obviously this doesn't apply to everything and it's good that there are reviews, but I've noticed that most people if they have a problem with a service or a product are quick to write negative review in anger, where as most people who are happy with the exact same stuff usually don't bother to write a positive review. This can often make something more undesirable than it actually is.
I would say that most of those people have a genuine issue. We as customers want quality work because we work hard for our money. We don’t want the aggravation of having to pay for something that isn’t good. Would you want to pay for a service that sucked!
Finally my guy is back sacrificing himself for a good cause 😂💪🏾
My favorite TH-cam personality for sure 😎
Is this a re-upload? It says episode 1 season 1. There was already a season I thought.
Chap is a legend best thing on Vice
@@cmac6136 ive seen all the 1 star review videos and havent seen this one, im pretty sure its not a reupload
LOL
I’m so glad you give these people a chance to address the trolls online. it’s important!
this woman is doing the best she can. the fact she went to beauty School both days and nights, tells me this woman is a go-getter. much respect. she is supporting her family.
highlighting previously colored hair (henna especially) will get you mixed results, when mixed in with virgin roots.
I've been highlighting hair for 20 years.
I love the awkwardness. It's so human and just what I love about this guy in particular. It's not scripted, but it is planned which is unique and I think a lot of people can agree on this.
The video editors can literally make a star out of anything
The sound design is also great
Vice please don’t ever cancel Taji and his One Star Reviews! I always look forward to these episodes!! He’s the best!
I thought they already did and this was pre recorded
@@juliamelone8109 yep
I was so weak at the review when she said “she closed me in her little room” 😂😂😂😂
As a hairdresser I can truly believe her. I have some horror story of my own with crazy clients.
Taji is a mastermind of chill confrontations with upmost compassion. Is he awkward or pure?!
He’s very good at being respectful. He lets the interviewee have a chance to defend themselves. He lets them answer if they wish to.
@@demcakers for a socially awkward guy he's actually a social genius
@@wallthemart Agreed.
@@demcakers It’s amazing. Taji is a good dude.
Purekward
She did absolutely amazing. We should all band together to boost her rating LOL.
I'm in. with 2 raitungs. who'll follow?
let’s do it boys
Hell no!! Not even if she cleans that place...
i saw some others posted but she is Lake Mary, FL - right now is at 3.5 stars only 9 reviews. yelp is pretty strict however about reviews.
@@alduline btw I just posted a review that I tried to make seem legit, (it mentions getting laid) let me know if it turns up to you.
It's crazy that Ethan Klein has a separate entity and doesn't talk about it. Wild man
my thoughts exactly
.. uyyugyvy.
My goodness I cannot unsee him to Taji anymore
Wait what do you mean?
I think Ethan is a smoke show. I don’t see him in this guy at all.
I love the semi social awkwardness of this guy plus the 1990’s flame shirt is just amazing hahaha love these episodes ❤️
1990s*. You might be thinking of the apostrophe in '90s
The fact that she was willing to talk about it instead of just kicking you out for grilling her…👌
lmao he asked in the nicest way possible. Grilling her??
I’m a hair dresser and she is right. You can’t please everyone all the time. She seems very sweet and did a great job on your hair
Sabrina!! If you are seeing this! You did a great job! You seem very professional and kind and as a person who is in the hair industry, I understand that there are many bullies like this. Really proud of you and hope you are well. Stay safe and take care
I'm a former hairdresser for 11 yrs and I have worked in okish salons and really nice salons and tbh some clients really are just nightmares. People think they can talk down to you and get away with all kinds of weird behavior because you are a service worker. Honestly it's usually older women with money. I had a lady throw a literal tantrum one time because I couldn't understand when she said she wanted her hair short but also long at the same time. I tried to show her all kinds of pictures etc and not only could nothing I show her satisfy her, but she couldn't show me an example either because the haircut she wanted "didn't exist" (her words). It was ridiculous. I am so glad to not be in that profession anymore.
Whoever's doing the sound editing is on point.
Uplifting sound effects when Taji smiles, to like a horror-esque sound when there's tension lol.
It's like a movie soundtrack! 🤣
LOL so true, the soundtrack me new think she was gonna murder Taji when he brought up the captivity room
@@hasbulla2012 I know lol that was fantastic
Lol I know it's awesome, it's like an 80s movie
Or when he’s taking a piss 😂
I love this guy , he’s so goofy and his smile kills me haha he pulls the funniest faces in awkward situations with the people
that’s his m.o., trademark, hit maker 😂
It's on purpose, it's called cringe comedy, like Nathan for You
Woah, someone gotta give an award out to the editor for that live laugh love star transition. That was fire
Lol at his awkward smile at the end.... He's so pure
I love Taji…!!! And I’m glad he gives a voice to the people who most of the time seems defenseless against online trolls, whoever has worked serving people knows how unfair it can be.
Love this comment! It seems like when you hear the stories you learn more
Did you see the strip club owner though? Lmao. That guy was definitely a bit strange fr.
@@1zDiegoz1 Yeees!! 😂😂😂 I used to work not far from there, and I've heard many horror stories about the place.
Lmao, if one person writes a review it’s an opinion, when 65% of your customers also writes equally bad reviews It’s probably the business my man. Thought that was self explanatory but guess not *shrug*
@@keyalex9250 Also, she knew she was being filmed...
I stand with Sabrina. She seems professional and kind.
yeah but she doesn't even know how to put on a face mask properly
@@thetacoguyy that doesn’t take away from her as a person or mean she’s bad at doing hair
@@trillnix3043 i never said she was bad at doing hair
@@thetacoguyy I never said you did either
@@trillnix3043 exactly
She did a great job! The salon could be cleaner but you can tell shes trying. I wish her the best
"When someone provides more detail than necessary, they are typically hiding something (Or incredibly nervous, at best)"
I think it's pretty clear at this point Taji goes out of his way to make things as damn awkward as friggin possible 😂
''I like your shoes'' 🤣🤣
Na that's all natural
Some of us are allergic to hair dyes and bleach, so this could explain that one reciewer's call itching and burning. Sometimes salons sadly use cheaper products that don't account for all of our allergies, but we can get allergy tested to understand our allergies or ask about potential common allergens in the product. Bad experiences happen and maybe Sabrina did nothing wrong or she learned from her experiences here.
Bleach does sting a lot of the time even without allergies. Especially if you come to your appointment with a freshly washed scalp.
@@TipsyTimeline if bleach gets on the scalp it will often burn and itch for about a day or so.
@@TipsyTimeline right? the person who wrote the review is straight up dumb lol
Itching and burning, its itching and burning...
Sabrina is awesome!! I’ve known her and her parents since I was a kid!! My grandparents were really close with her mom and dad!! My grandmother would go over to their shop every Friday like clock work to get her hair done by, Mary which is Sabrina’s mom!! I always felt so much love when I was around Sabrina and her mom and dad!! They are of Mexican heritage and I love that about them since I am both Mexican and White!! Mexican people have so much love and compassion, it’s part of our culture!! The shop that they own always felt so homey and welcoming to me!! And Sabrina and her mom and dad are like family to me, and they will always be family to me, no matter what!! Also, Sabrina is the best damn hair stylist I know!! She always would make me look so fly, and nobody has ever been able to do my hair the way she does!! I love, Sabrina!! She is NUMERO UNO 🥇!! ❤️🤘⚡️
She's lovely, and I would love to have her as a hair stylist.
I knew someone who did exactly that in the only hair salon in our hometown, she'd always complain about how she wasn't satisfied so she wouldn't have to pay. Eventually, they refused to take her in anymore and she had to travel to the next closest city to get her hair done ! Some people have no basic decency, they think they're so smart for cheating when everyone else respects the rules.
I couldn't imagine the stress stylists get. Not that their work is a matter of life or death but their future depends on their customers being satisfied. 1 person with an agenda can ruin a small business owner, even being attacked from competition. Remember that
Got an aunt yhat does this eith restaurants every time. Will finish her plate. Stash rolls and breadsticks in her purse then complain EVEN WHEN SHE ISN'T PAYING. She will show up to family parties and no joke make 10 (sometimes more) plates and just leave. This last time she hid plates around the venue we rented and had to call her son to gather them all. He looked so embarassed. Some people experience 0 shame. Not one bit. No embarrassment or humility. Strange
i dont understand that because if its a money issue, you could just learn to do your own hair?? obviously you won't be salon level first try but its better than ruining someones day and possibly their business just because you got a service that you knew you couldn't pay for
This was truly a redemption story!!
And, I don’t know how it’s possible but those frosted tips actually look really good??
Taj is just such a genuinely nice human. Love this dude
I’ve heard of this “happy until it’s time to pay” phenomenon, or happy until they’re home, and the call and want a refund from several hair dressers
Well done! You handled this so well, and asked great questions. Sabrina also responded with openness and honest answers to hard questions. I would go to her if I lived there.
That lady did not graduate beauty school 😭
@@pikapika4312 are you grown up?
Same
@@Peterisheree that guy did not grow up! 😭
“Whoa, we didn’t ask you that.”
My man with the flame shirt and frosted tips bringing the 90s back! Awesome 👍
Really rocking the 90s boy band look. Gotta say I am impressed and it looks good on him. Sabrina did a great job.
Frosted Tips called Mesh in the early 90's in Switzerland 😊
Just sayin....
@MusicProductionAndSheet on point Bro..
This is one of the most endearing things I've watched in a while - I'm def about to binge this series. I'm super digging the vibe.
She actually seems like a really nice lady, hope she gets much more business after this video. Hair is very subjective so I see her prospective.
Looks really good and he gave her an opportunity tell her story. Good one!
She's sweet and deserves a lot of credit for running her own business.
The editing on this series sold me. It's time to binge-watch the whole thing. Love this guy's personality and the editing is incredibly well done. Very tongue-in-cheek.
EDIT: his hair looks awesome, Sabrina did a great job! I remember getting my tips frosted back in the 90s haha, always hated how they had to pull your hair through those tiny holes with that hook. Didn't feel too good.
Editing is courtesy of the TV shows: “Nathan for you” and “Tim and Eric Awesome Show”
@@chickenwing986 do you mean the style or the actual editing team?
Geddy V the style.
I'll tell you what I love about this series, it pokes gentle fun at the proprietors in a kind way but then, in the most wholesome way, tries to understand things from their perspective. The review at the end always makes me smile after a 10 minute episode during which I laughed throughout.
I love you, Taji.
As a hairdresser, I've dealt with people like this. I have had people who don't tell me exactly what they want and when I cut their hair too short or not the way they wanted they get upset. I've even had other people seem happy at first and then walk out saying it wasn't what they wanted but say "oh itll work even though it wasn't what i was looking for" i then offer to help them or fix their hair and they refuse and choose to still write a bad review. you truly cannot please everyone
It seems like some people probably don’t know their own hair either. There’s limits to what certain hair types/textures and how they can hold style or color or damage, I imagine.
When he smiles it looks like he’s crying at the same time
Yes! That’s it! That’s exactly it!
No, it doesn't.
Lmao
She honestly seems like a real person. Regardless of stats. Realness carries through.
Once again, I just love he voices reading the reviews. They get me every time 😂
I didn’t know Ethan lost so much weight and is working for Vice. Wow! Ethan great job, keep it up, proud of you!
LOL what I was thinking
😂😂😂 accurate af
LMAO
When I tell you I nearly hit the floor laughing, I mean it
You made me do a double take 😂
Man, I got some feels when she said he made her feel really good today. I feel like they could be good friends
I love how respectful he is to everyone and how he uplifts businesses with bad reviews!
Taji's back must hurt from carrying vice
Holy sh true
Totally an original comment
My eyes hurt from seeing this comment everywhere
💯💯💯
Lol
Can a TH-cam series win an Emmy? Cuz Taji deserves one 😫😫 this had a story arc villain turned hero...🤣
Ded ass
I think he’s so good at keeping business owners calm and comes from a place of understanding when asking them tough questions about their reviews. He’s very polite but he also looks a little scared lol, it might just be for building abit of drama.
These are the only kind of vice videos I watch. Love this series!
Floridians would one star review any business where the staff wear masks.
As a born and bred Floridian I can confirm that this is factually correct
lollll
She’s not even wearing it over her nose which defeats the purpose
The mask is upside down. Look at the writing on it.
Is this the best comment thread right now
It actually came out genuinely super cool and I'm glad she got the chance to share her side of the story! Nice work :)
Taji is a riot. The way he talks really makes this work. No one does a 1 star vid better or ever will. These are gold. All worth 5 stars.
I love the 5 star ones
They‘re always so wholesome
This series is the only thing that doesn't suck on VICE. The reviewer is a wholesome dude, the editing is on point, it's simply good entertainment which is unusual for VICE.
this is your only comment on youtube that doesn't suck. the words are spelled right, point is concise, it's simply good dialogue which is unusual for youtube
Nah man, VICE definitely had some interesting things, the North Korean stuff or when they went to Africa and meet up with “Captain Butt Naked“
It's funny how every single Vice video has comments saying "this is the only Vice video that doesn't suck."
@@2m7b5 If by every you mean none, then you are absolutely correct.
@@immanismjr5606 Yeah but that's old school VICE and we all know that was good. I'm talking about their recent stuff, and this One Star Reviews is the only good thing they put out.
When he smiles, he looks like he’s 15 supporting the first facial hair proud.
the frosted tips actually look SO good lmao
This is an awesome series. Great for the misunderstood good cats and lousy for the genuinely bad ones! Binge watching!
I pray this man's safe... Also vasectomy from 1 star surgeon next please.....
No! We need him around for more reviews! (Save that one for the series finally)
He already reminds me of Ethan from H3… now all I can think about is “Ethan Joins a 90s Boyband” 😭
Good Times, one of the most fun content on TH-cam ever uploaded.
I miss that H3H3 now they are lazy with that podcast
@@Thewhiteknigth7 Dude has a family now... cant really blame him.
Ethan has always been dramatic and has a whiney personality, he's the male version of Trisha honestly.
His energy fills and warms my cold empty heart
Never seen anyone irl with "frosted tips", but that looks pretty cool.
Very reminiscent of the late 90s/early 00s.
Very cool
Teji"s smile at the end!! LMFAO! I really want to know if its naturally THAT akward or if he is an amazing actor and actually practices and does it on purpose somehow.
What a sweet and lovely lady. All the best Sabrina.
This show reminds me to write a positive review for all the places I love. I need to support them more!
ur the only person ive seen who can properly rock this look, how!!!???
She did a good job, gave him what he asked for BUT cleanliness and proper sanitation is key her salon can use a lesson.
This man literally could do anything for this channel.
This was everything I needed to feel good about today. Thanks, Taj.
It’s time to set a reminder! A new episode of One Star Reviews is airing on October 22nd.
BASED
NO WAY! PSYCHED
All he needs is a few more awkward guys with soul patches and he will have a boy band and they can call themselves “Room Temperature”
ROOM TEMPERATURE AHAHAHAHA
I was thinking more "the occasional recreational to fit in in social situation smokers"
"I promise ill pay. I got the company card in my pocket" 😂
Been watching Taji for a while now, and he always does a great job. Nice tips Taji, they look good!
I love this guy and this show. So funny and interesting, I wish he had a full on TV show.
The “star transitions” are so funny - reminds me of “Miami Vi…” oooohhh I see what you did there! Nice!
At 9:15 “I really appreciate it” *forces smile and camera zooms in*
still my favorite part of Vice thankyou!!
This series makes me happy. Thank you, Vice, for continuing to invest in this man. He's friggin fantastic! 😍
