Hit my 50th balayage client and finally felt like I knew what I was doing

I've been doing hair for about 2 years now, mostly at a chain salon in Fort Worth. This lady came in with this grown out box dye mess and asked for a soft balayage, nothing too bright. Took me almost 4 hours but when I turned her around in the chair she actually teared up and said 'this is exactly what I wanted.' That was number 50 for me and it just hit different than the first 49. Has anyone else had a specific client count where things just clicked for them?

That 50 mark is REAL though. I remember hitting mine and suddenly my hands just knew where to place the foils without me second guessing every section. It's like your brain finally stops fighting your muscle memory and you can actually talk to the client while you work instead of staring at the back of their head in panic mode.
