I went to cosmetology school in 1987 that's how long I've been a hairstylist I'm just watching you do this color is exhausting LOL anybody that says it took you too long to do that color is not doing it properly I admire and appreciate your professionalism Thank you for taking the time to share and help educate other stylists
i want to see it ALL, nothing is too long, i dont want to miss ANYTHING... if its longer, the people that dont want to see it can skip. i want to see it all
@kristi I think you are thy best ever stylist I wish I lived near you actually even if I lived in another state I would book you but unfortunately for me I live in Ireland I think you are the most caring funniest stylist because you don't sugar coat it you tell it how is it and the passion shows with every client you transform the time you take doesn't matter as long as it's thy outcome that matters the satisfaction too and your client is happy makes been a stylist thing is with bleach you just don't know every client different so dont be to hard on yourself
NORMALIZE LONG HAIR APPOINTMENTS! I’m slow too, but I’m also meticulous, and if you want it perfect and bright, yeah it’s gonna take hours! Especially if you have dark hair, and lots of it. You did amazing! 🙌🏻💕
I went to a new stylist. I sent pictures of what I was thinking and my current pic. I let her know my hair was thick, coarse, wavy/curly, a little gray, a couple inches past my shoulders. We decided to make my roots my natural color, a dk brown, and balayage to blonde. She allowed 3 hours but was running 30 minutes behind and had a customer waiting. So my hair is red and there are a couple spots at the very ends that are a little blonde. Instead of having her dry and straightened my hair where I could see the full scope because I didn't want the other girl to have to wait, I told her to just leave it curly. So I messaged her the next day and she is gratefully doing a redo next week. Hopefully my granddaughter will not say "Mimi, why is your hair orange?"😁 Love to you Kristi
I know this response is years later, but I would caveat that clients should be told how long the appointment is booked for. I used to get a color service with a slower stylist years ago and I never minded the extra time, but the first time I had no idea to plan for it because I had an idea how long that service usually lasted with others. He took on average 2 hours longer than others. After the first time I knew to plan for it, but that first time it threw my whole day into chaos that I was there for hours past when I expected to be. The don’t know that I’ve ever had a stylist give me a time estimate and while exact times are never known, an estimate would always be good. Especially if we are talking in hours.
I love your videos your so natural and honest and your just being yourself in the hair industry too many people so pretensions and fake your a breath of fresh air just keep being you
Btc university’s videos are 90 minutes long. So as long as you’re teaching us your techniques then let us watch the whole process. Thank u for your videos! Great work
I think this is the first youtube hair foiling video I've ever fully watched that was over 30 minutes. And your followers are correct, you ABSOLUTELY have the most soothing voice, and so real life, confessing about the bleeders!!! Damn BlondeME always bleeding!! I am just so shook that you got her from level 2 to level 10 in one day.... in just a few hours!! I mean, yeah that was a fudge ton of work and foiling, and rechecking, etc, but it was still possible!!! I am just shocked!! Any time I've gotten highlights without a base break first, I end up with my black hair and tiny specks of gold highlights that need a magnifying glass in order to see!! So we always ALWAYS break my base a couple days before my highlights, or the day before.. I just hate the color the break turns to... no matter what, of course it's super warm, cuz my hair is super dark, coarse, thick, you name it, I feel like I've got double the amount of hair than the girl in your video has so I definitely felt your pain with the lighting situation.. Anyways, sorry for rambling, I really just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE watching your videos and I'm very glad to have found your channel!! You are amazing!!
Hi- I just watched your video. First- it’s finally refreshing to see a full video. Keep doing that. I don’t think client realizes how long it take to do good work. Secondly-I would not have given a final quote on price. Thirdly- what if...she came back the next day to have a photo you could prove your final look🤷🏼♀️ Fourthly- your placements is really good! All your pro-tips were really good. Don’t beat yourself up. I think she got a steel for the work you did.🤟🏻 and it looks amazing. Light is tough for sure. All hairstylist pet peeve. I will definitely follow more of your work.
Hello! Thank you for watching! Ive had people come back the next day, but it has to be a weekend. I normally wouldn't do that. Id have to re style and hope im booked every day to fit it in. I think talking about $$$is kinda needed. Clients often have an unrealistic idea of cost and time. Also, other stylists are wanting to know and I think it's good to say , yes you can charge over $200. Just be aware that every location and stylist varies. Thank you again for watching!
You are awesome! You did a fantastic job! I’ve been a colorist for 40 yrs. I’m slow/ medium not a fast foiler either. I live in Miami. Most of my clients have tons of hair level 1-3 and they all want to be blonde. It takes me 6 hrs to 8 when they come in for a full head. That’s twice a year!!!! Don’t be annoyed. I can see the color is fabulous. I can’t believe I hadn’t seen your videos b4. You are amazing! So glad I found you! GBU 🙏❤️🤗🌸🌼🌺👍🌟
Omg- this is EXACTLY what I need done to my hair since have dark roots coming in with gray- this looks so natural and amazing! Been looking for someone who KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING! The lighter blonde in my hair worked ok until my darker came through with gray- thanks for sharing this video! I’ll be showing it at my next appointment!
Kristi, I’ve been a stylist for 30 yrs, and I wanted to thank you for being normal, meaning your not a high pitched little twit on too much Adderall and the personality of a door stop. I appreciate the fact, your not a gum chewing stereotype, that reminds me why people don’t respect our craft. You’re pretty much the only stylist I can tolerate. THANK YOU FOR remindING all of the talented stylists out there that they are worth every minute they should be paid for a color service. I find it’s a struggle to change people the correct price, because some twit did 3 hours worth of color and charged the guest $150. Remember, color is not a necessity, it is a luxury service., and always talk pricing before you begin and over estimate in case you run into issues that need more time. Also don’t forget to only guarantee your color service if they buy color safe shampoo/conditioner , if they are spending $100s of dollars on their hair, it’s sill to use crappy products on it. Your amazing, I wish I had you in my shop!
Oh! Thank you so much for the very thoughtful comment! You know all the reason why you like my channel are actually reasons I was afraid no one would want to watch! Because I’M NOT the typical Instagram/RUclips hair stylist. So I really appreciate this and that you value me as I am! Thank you so much for watching!
Your welcome! I’m watching this one again as I go for round 3 of bleaching my hair from black to hopefully a reasonable normal level 6 with toned blond / lowlight foils…by myself. I should have come to you,, I too take 6-8 hours on corrective color, When people make bitch frowns face at me about the prices of my services, I will ask them “ ya,how’s that consistent yrly salary your making”? 🫢. Where’s your salon, I’m in Seattle.
Sorry for the second message just want to say I appreciate all of your work and knowledge and effort you put into these RUclips videos girl you are an amazing lady I got to give it to you working a full time job and still yet taking time to do these videos you are a superwoman to me and the outcome the outcome of it all is always very beautiful and professional thank you so much this is beautiful 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really enjoy the videos. I definitely have a goal in mind for why im doing the videos, I just haven't talked about any of that yet lol... When the time is right! Thank you for watching!
@@hairbykristijennings6648 aww can't wait to hear and see your goal you are most definitely very talented and very sweet on top of it all and good to you clients so dedicated 💜
I love how you teach, thankyou for being humble about the process and admitting even the mistakes we as hairstylist do, and have to fix, Thankyou so much!!!!!
I like to see the full versions..gives a real idea of how long it takes. I worry I'm not fast enough so this reasures me. Thanks for all the info..it helps a lot xxx
I appreciate the honesty.... 7 plus hours plus, premium products, your expertise..... these videos show certain style cost money.... your empathy of humbling the cost.... I like your commentary lol btw... anyone who can live that long with that much roots certainly is looking for a miracle. Good job Kristi, keep these "long vids" coming :))
What a amazing job you did. I think if you want a really good clean blonde like this. It’s only common sense, it’s going to take a long time. My clients always tell me”! They don’t want it fast or cheap!! They want it GOOD !!! Quality takes time and costs money 💰 You need to give yourself good credit. In the Uk we tell our clients everything you’ve said during you’re consultation. Amazing work Xx✂️✂️✂️✂️
Christie I have been watching your videos for a very good while now. I just wanted to tell you that I have learned more from your. Videos than anything! So much makes sense to me now and I'm 52 years old. I'm a former nurse practitioner and I've always wanted to go to beauty school and finally did it!I feel like I'm getting a supplemental education for me!God-bless you and thank you so Lunch. I'm sorry for the random punctuation I. Don't know what my phone is doing? L o l
It’s the honesty for me ! I work with mostly clients level 3 or darker mid back and longer and having trouble getting them to understand how much work we put into these colors now a days. They expect to be platinum, pay nothing and be out in 2 hours
I’m so happy to have found you! It takes me FOREVER for blinding services, no matter what I try to be faster it just doesn’t work, I always feel so weird and alone in this aspect of doing hair, it’s nice to know I’m not alone!
I just looove a long video!! 30min - 1hr is good for me 😍 I actually always rewatch your long long videos when im trying to sleep 🙈 hair talk and music is just so relaxing... Even your 'rants' - which totally arent 😂 thank you for the content! X
When I use a swelling lightener or get that type of hair that no matter how tight the foils are it seems to slip. I started using the cholesterol conditioner to tap at the root after each foil, it was a total game changer. I never had to worry about any bleeding. Hope this helps, I have heard schwarzkopf swelled quite a bit. I loooove the longer videos! =)
Thank you for this!!! I thought I was crazy.. I've been doing hair 17 years this year.. I've been pinning perm papers between gold because on some it seems to ALWAYS slip no matter what I do... I thought it was me lol
I think the top of her head where her hair was natural regrowth looks fantastic!! The rest is also beautiful and considering what you started with and everything you went through, it looks great!!
Omg this is nothing else than 110% color perfection from a really professional and educated hairdresser that clearly are 110% perfectionist with your work and gives every client above and beyond. I have learned that about you after watching only 2 videos today. Because it's so obvious this isn't just your 9-5 jobb, this is certainly a passion. Because you make sure not only the clients are happy, but you also need to be before your work of magical art is ready. That fact alone creates the difference between being a professional hairdresser artist like you definitely are 💗 compared to having a job like a hairdresser 9-5 or just being one on paper ect...! after seeing your amazing work and videos $$$ I would gladly pay to get these results from seeing your videos " btw not to long😊" and if you are unsure of what to do ?! I will give you a tips even though I am late 🤓 My tips about long VS short video is to simply TIME STAMP on video when you are editing. For example fast-forward to 49:00 when the bleach foil section started 😊 or if you are divided on long VS short in general you can time stamp..! I like to see everything, but if you want the general "RUclips" opinion on how short is to short= under 30 min, but 30-45 min are also normal in longer vlogs= not to long or short. And after 1 hour is often considered Long,or called movie VS episodes or part of a 4 part series ect. And people's livestreams can go on for hours 🤯🤷♀️🤓 very confusing, but it's kind of a general idea of what long and short video is on YT. But my advice is to keep on doing you and find your way on the journey, because you are already doing the most important thing to be successful, and that is to ASK question to the viewer's/followers like you do 😊.
Hey! This was the first time I watched one of your videos, came across it on my suggested. Just wanted to say that it was so nice to see someone be so transparent about everything in their videos. Even something as small as you saying that you couldn’t get the lighting right for a good photo, that the bleach swelled and caused a bleed mark, and most of all, how long it took! It’s so nice and almost relieving to hear all of these things being said because it reminds us (well definitely me) that we are not the only ones that go through these complications; these kinds of processes take crazy amounts of time and patients, and that we are not being out of line for charging accordingly and telling clients that “it may take 5,6,7 hours to achieve that ‘instagram result’ that you’re looking for”! Thank you again for the great video! Caine xx
Thank you so much for that thoughtful feedback! I really want to be real and honestly HATE the way Instagram and RUclips portrays hairstylists. Having to be perfect, look perfect, perfect picture, etc....... that's not real! Things happen and come up and clients honestly need to see the reality of services. Platinum blonde doesn't happen in 2 hours!
love your honesty . makes me feel better knowing i'm not alone... some clients want the world in 2hours ...just unrealistic. dont keel to the pressure! pefection takes time and lots of patience. good work.
I love the long videos too !! Thank you so much for taking the time and teaching us what you know . We appreciate your time and effort . Great job on her hair , turned out great
I love your long videos or short all tips etc I watch them always as I feel after I look I get so much knowledge and better on my colours big huge thank you that you do it all here so we ho need more help we really understand what proses take how long and soo on, som one mentioned here already that ho doesn't want long video can play in front but please keep posting your fabulous job technics for me you are one of the best teachers I understand your explanations, Thank you, Kristi, you help me a lot!
I wish I lived closer to you because I would definitely have you do my hair. It would be a breeze after that job you just finished. I wish I could find someone here with your skills! Southern California has tons of salons and they charge outrageous amounts of money for doing jobs that take half the amount of time and thats not doing the fine foiling you did with the amount of bleach you had to use. You are a perfectionist so I understand why you were upset but you made the correction you felt you needed to do and the result was beautiful. She got more than her money’s worth 😊
Kristi, I think you’re fabulous!! I love the way you’re so honest and raw in your description!! I do things like this too, so this makes me feel so much better, at least I’m not the only one…… I hate ring lights too! Doesn’t show the true colour!! Like you I’m slow foiler I spend hours, but I’m a perfectionist in my work, like you I’m so passionate about creating a good job……I take so much pride in my work! I used to use blonde me but like u I found it swells n seeps out at times so i have been using alfaparf 9 levels with built in reconstruction bond aid it’s absolutely unbelievable! Thank you thank you for your fantastic videos! Trudy from Ireland Xxx
Gorgeous the hair looked gorgeous I'm a hair stylist girl it takes 8 hours when you have to work on level 1 & 2 hair.. A real professional can fix the mistake. And you rocked it..🤗
It turned out great... it most definitely can take several hours to achieve certain colors and tones when u are trying to keep the integrity of the hair intact without it melting or breaking off. People don't know there's several shampoos and conditioning plus Reconstructing conditioning treatments in between doing the foiling, double processing and toning. Not to mention the blow dry cut with style. Keep up the great work
I came across you looking for a tutorial bcs I thought I was slow at foiling and lifting. But to my surprise you did exactly what I do and I feel better now. TYSM for this video ❤ today I did a service that lasted 7 hours. She had so much hair I used 7 bowls of bleach at 40 G each 😅
Thank you for all you do sharing your talents and advice...I have been a styles for many years but enjoy watching you and learning new techniques. We all need to be refreshed now and again.
Just came across your channel (have been binging all day lol) and have to say I appreciate how real you are! Stylists need to hear that these jobs take a long time, and be encouraged to charge their worth. Also love how you say when you wish you had done something different, and that sometimes it doesn’t turn out perfect off the bat and we need to do damage control. It always turns out beautifully. It reminds us we are still talented we’re just not robots! Keep doing what you do!!💕
Hello! So glad you found my channel.... thank you so much for watching! I like being real and showing that imperfections don’t have to ruin a service, just take care of it and it’s not a big deal. Instagram can be so misleading with so many amazing stylists, you look at their work and think..... can I ever get to that point of doing perfect hair? But the truth is we don’t know the process, if any hiccups occurred, maybe it took 10 hours and cost $1,000..... I like letting stylists know the real world has slips and isn’t always a 2 hour service for $150.....
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I just wanted to say that I too have never been the fastest draw as it relates to foiling or for that matter any other service however, that is what always set me apart. I think in order to produce the caliber of work that you do takes a patient and methodical approach. Rest assured that you did an amazing job on your client. I am new to your channel as I can see that this video is a year old but better late than never. I look forward to watching more of you creating magic and again, thank you for sharing.🙂
love your video. I always love learning new techniques since it refreshes my knowledge. I was in cosmetology school 50 years ago and so much has changed through the years. it is so good to see unclose training update knowledge to help learn new products. thank you for letting us know the product you used to create this beautiful color.
Honestly I didn’t even pay attention so far at the video length, it’s so relaxing watching your work 😋😊 I like the longer ones better but you will see the analytics anyway 🙃
Thank you for your honesty!!! I know it’s hard to admit your mistakes and it’s so frustrating!! It’s also hard to not beat yourself up afterwards about your mistakes or how long it took! It is such a struggle to get past it sometimes!! It’s nice to know I’m not the only one!! I say I have a love/hate relationship with color!! Lol! It can be so much fun, but then it can also be a pain in the butt! 😅
Oh yes! It’s definitely a love love relationship with me but I more get anxious about it and over think, dream about hair, nightmares if I’m stressed out over a client lol the industry can be hard at times!
For the person who's watching your videos for educational value it would seem to me the longer the video the better. Keep doing what you're doing and stay awesome!✔️💯
Thank you so much for this educational video! I love seeing your videos. They are all customized. I am also a slow/meticulous foiler. I appreciate they realness.
@@hairbykristijennings6648 i’ve only been a hairdresser for five years but I’m 57 years old. And I have under sold myself the whole time in the attempt to try to build my clientele. Meaning I didn’t charge enough. But after watching your video I have decided to take the leap. I have two very difficult and transformative luxe that I’m doing this week and I have told them it will be minimum of $300. That was before I heard you asked what their maximum was. So when they get there and I do a definitive consultation in person that would be my first question. I appreciate you so much you do this so well.
I just found you and i absolutely adore the amount of details and the information as well as the length! And how you arent afraid to say NO! I love it keep bringing those 1 2 3 or 6 hours girl ❤🎉😊
I don't like long "talky" videos HOWEVER, I have no problem watching you You are exceptional because you don't blather on, you articulate each step to the point where I have very few questions at the end. I am thankful for the time you put into explaining why and what you plan to choose for the toner etc. You must be so exhausted after a long session like that! You did a great job on her hair, too bad for the pictures but naili ng the ighting is just so tricky and not just with hair color but with everything. Even if you do get it perfect, so many people have jacked up settings and /or filters that intefere with the end result anyway so, whatever. Keep doing what you are doing! Thank you!
I absolutely love your videos. I love how you go into detail and think out loud. It's helped me a lot as I'm starting to get back into cholera. I've been a stylist for 10 years but haven't done color and 7 so I feel like I'm starting all over
We enjoy watching you no matter how long it takes,,,because we want to give the same amount of attention to detail as you!!! You are so wonderful at giving instructions as anyone I know. Thank you so much, I have learned so much from you and have the same philosophy as you do to hair and concentration!❤
Hi!!I just found your videos and I can say that I love the long ones.Your teaching is on point and the results is amazing...and of course this kind of services are taking so much time and this has to be said to all the people that they think that this is easy and inexpensive.Thank you!!!
I'm a slow foiler too takes me forever to do hair, lol! this is my 2nd video I watched of you and I find it VERY helpful you are amazing, thank you so much for sharing your work!
Thank you so much for taking time to record all this videos. I been learning a lot from you. You do awesome job. And you know how much to charge. Sometimes I have trouble with that.
Kristi the starting color of her ends are about my same exact color what can I use to tone to a bright blonde not necessarily Ash mine could be a tidbit darker and some places and lighter and some I have the ombre or sombre effect that I did myself I'm actually shopping at Sally's so not sure what on you would think or what level you think that she is at on her ends I love your work I wish there was something that could help me I really need to come and see you I am seriously considering flying out
Hello! That would be quite the trip! I would suggest something like level 7/8. It's pretty yellow / orange so it won't get any lighter. You just have to tone to not be so brassy.
I love the longer videos! It gives a good in depth look at what ur doing :) I take a long time to foil rn too but most of the time you need to! Your work is realistic and shows what its really like. Btc videos are 90 minutrs or more like the previous comment said so i dont mind at all. Thank you for teaching us your tips and techniques I appreciate it! Oh and tysm for showing the formulas of your toners on camera so we can see what amount of each toner you put it. I measure the same way a little a this a little of that so I relate lol Gonna watch ur latest video now :)
It’s only a very slight pale yellow, it’s not really noticeable and it is definitely the ring light! If u do longer videos and ppl don’t like it, they can easily skip ahead, a lot of you tubers put the time viewers can skip ahead in the description to see the next step ei: finishing the foils. Hope that helps. Love ur work, been binge watching ur videos 😝
Love how real you are, likkke, we all get bleeders sometimes and no one in youtube shows it meanwhile it is real life and shit does happen. Even if they say they dont notice it it bothers me too and i have to touch up the spots If they happen. I also agree it fucking sucks when the light is gone and it doesnt show the colour justice lol. I have a question thou, how do you schedule your days, like, you may roughly know a colour may take you 4-5 hours, so do you only book clients every 5 hours? Or just one client a day? How do you book your next client when you have no idea if its gona take4,5,6 plus hours. Do you only take on one client a day? Im just curious! Great job girl🤍🤍
Hello! Glad you appreciate the honesty! 😂😂 alot of my clients were all brand new cause I was starting from 0 clientele so yeah, I had no idea for time. I think I'd do 2 services/ day maybe 3. But always ask for before and goal pictures. That way you have a better idea.
I do like watching your full videos to see how you do each section and explain because I like details and I love the fact that you share your mistakes or you imperfections and your corrections "BECAUSE" those are what all of us that stand behind a chair and go in the supply room saying Shit Shit Shit what formula do I need now to fix this issue, need to see!!!
I went to cosmetology school in 1987 that's how long I've been a hairstylist I'm just watching you do this color is exhausting LOL anybody that says it took you too long to do that color is not doing it properly I admire and appreciate your professionalism
Thank you for taking the time to share and help educate other stylists
i want to see it ALL, nothing is too long, i dont want to miss ANYTHING... if its longer, the people that dont want to see it can skip. i want to see it all
That's true! Thank you for sharing!
Yes, agreed!!

I went to a new stylist. I sent pictures of what I was thinking and my current pic. I let her know my hair was thick, coarse, wavy/curly, a little gray, a couple inches past my shoulders.

Perfect! I've wanted to try those videos but haven't yet!
I think this is the first youtube hair foiling video I've ever fully watched that was over 30 minutes. And your followers are correct, you ABSOLUTELY have the most soothing voice, and so real life, confessing about the bleeders!!! Damn BlondeME always bleeding!! I am just so shook that you got her from level 2 to level 10 in one day.... in just a few hours!! I mean, yeah that was a fudge ton of work and foiling, and rechecking, etc, but it was still possible!!! I am just shocked!!

Oh wow! Thank you so much! Yes, you'r hair must be insanely thick! That would take forever! Lol
Thank you so much for watching!
Hi- I just watched your video.
First- it’s finally refreshing to see a full video. Keep doing that. I don’t think client realizes how long it take to do good work.
Secondly-I would not have given a final quote on price.
Thirdly- what if...she came back the next day to have a photo you could prove your final look🤷🏼♀️
Fourthly- your placements is really good! All your pro-tips were really good.
Don’t beat yourself up. I think she got a steel for the work you did.🤟🏻 and it looks amazing. Light is tough for sure. All hairstylist pet peeve. I will definitely follow more of your work.

I’m glad I’m not the only one!!!!! 😂😂😂. Good job takes time!!!
Girl I’m a slow foiler too! I’ve had color corrections that took 12 hours! Only twice, but sometimes you never know what you’re gonna come across!
Exactly! All day sometimes!
You are awesome! You did a fantastic job! I’ve been a colorist for 40 yrs. I’m slow/ medium not a fast foiler either. I live in Miami. Most of my clients have tons of hair level 1-3 and they all want to be blonde. It takes me 6 hrs to 8 when they come in for a full head. That’s twice a year!!!! Don’t be annoyed.

Oh good! Im glad you came across my videos! Yes. Those are such time consuming services! Just make sure to charge accordingly!
Omg- this is EXACTLY what I need done to my hair since have dark roots coming in with gray- this looks so natural and amazing! Been looking for someone who KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING! The lighter blonde in my hair worked ok until my darker came through with gray- thanks for sharing this video! I’ll be showing it at my next appointment!
Everyone keeps agreeing that you’re a slow foiler but girl I don’t think you are! You know your not, you are the best I watch, your work shows itself
Thank you! I honestly feel like I'm so slow! Sometimes it just feels like a never ending application! 😂😂♥️♥️♥️
Kristi, I’ve been a stylist for 30 yrs, and I wanted to thank you for being normal, meaning your not a high pitched little twit on too much Adderall and the personality of a door stop. I appreciate the fact, your not a gum chewing stereotype, that reminds me why people don’t respect our craft. You’re pretty much the only stylist I can tolerate. THANK YOU FOR remindING all of the talented stylists out there that they are worth every minute they should be paid for a color service. I find it’s a struggle to change people the correct price, because some twit did 3 hours worth of color and charged the guest $150. Remember, color is not a necessity, it is a luxury service., and always talk pricing before you begin and over estimate in case you run into issues that need more time. Also don’t forget to only guarantee your color service if they buy color safe shampoo/conditioner , if they are spending $100s of dollars on their hair, it’s sill to use crappy products on it. Your amazing, I wish I had you in my shop!
Oh! Thank you so much for the very thoughtful comment! You know all the reason why you like my channel are actually reasons I was afraid no one would want to watch! Because I’M NOT the typical Instagram/RUclips hair stylist. So I really appreciate this and that you value me as I am! Thank you so much for watching!
Your welcome! I’m watching this one again as I go for round 3 of bleaching my hair from black to hopefully a reasonable normal level 6 with toned blond / lowlight foils…by myself. I should have come to you,, I too take 6-8 hours on corrective color, When people make bitch frowns face at me about the prices of my services, I will ask them “ ya,how’s that consistent yrly salary your making”? 🫢. Where’s your salon, I’m in Seattle.
I get lost in your long videos which I’m grateful for and I appreciate you sharing your techniques and everything with us. Another amazing job 🔥
Yayyy! I love hearing that, thank you!
Sorry for the second message just want to say I appreciate all of your work and knowledge and effort you put into these RUclips videos girl you are an amazing lady I got to give it to you working a full time job and still yet taking time to do these videos you are a superwoman to me and the outcome the outcome of it all is always very beautiful and professional thank you so much this is beautiful 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really enjoy the videos. I definitely have a goal in mind for why im doing the videos, I just haven't talked about any of that yet lol...
When the time is right! Thank you for watching!
@@hairbykristijennings6648 aww can't wait to hear and see your goal you are most definitely very talented and very sweet on top of it all and good to you clients so dedicated 💜
I love how you teach, thankyou for being humble about the process and admitting even the mistakes we as hairstylist do, and have to fix, Thankyou so much!!!!!
Thanks very much , you did a goood jobs ,i like a lot ❤️🥰😍🌹
Can you , do red color and highlights .thanks ❤️🥰🌹
definitely leave in the foiling, love it,.
Thank you!
I like to see the full versions..gives a real idea of how long it takes. I worry I'm not fast enough so this reasures me. Thanks for all the info..it helps a lot xxx
Oh yes, some service take so long. Don't worry. I use to. But people will value the effort you take, so don't rush.
I’m a slow foiler as well. Don’t be too hard on yourself. And I’m definitely a perfectionist. Ugh!! It sucks sometimes. Great job 👏🏼
Thank you!
I appreciate the honesty.... 7 plus hours plus, premium products, your expertise..... these videos show certain style cost money.... your empathy of humbling the cost.... I like your commentary lol btw... anyone who can live that long with that much roots certainly is looking for a miracle. Good job Kristi, keep these "long vids" coming :))
Love the longer, well explained videos. Please keep up the great work and the videos!! Thank you
Thank you so much! Good to know!
What a amazing job you did.
I think if you want a really good clean blonde like this.
It’s only common sense, it’s going to take a long time.
My clients always tell me”!
They don’t want it fast or cheap!!
They want it GOOD !!!
Quality takes time and costs money 💰
You need to give yourself good credit.
In the Uk we tell our clients everything you’ve said during you’re consultation.
Amazing work
Xx✂️✂️✂️✂️
Christie I have been watching your videos for a very good while now. I just wanted to tell you that I have learned more from your. Videos than anything! So much makes sense to me now and I'm 52 years old. I'm a former nurse practitioner and I've always wanted to go to beauty school and finally did it!I feel like I'm getting a supplemental education for me!God-bless you and thank you so Lunch. I'm sorry for the random punctuation I. Don't know what my phone is doing? L o l
Lol no worries! And thank you for the nice compliments! I’m happy to hear you finally went to school for hair! I hope you love the career!
I love how you keep it real. People should know that to be beautiful takes time. It's not just a snap of the fingers.
It’s the honesty for me ! I work with mostly clients level 3 or darker mid back and longer and having trouble getting them to understand how much work we put into these colors now a days. They expect to be platinum, pay nothing and be out in 2 hours
I’m so happy to have found you! It takes me FOREVER for blinding services, no matter what I try to be faster it just doesn’t work, I always feel so weird and alone in this aspect of doing hair, it’s nice to know I’m not alone!
I just looove a long video!! 30min - 1hr is good for me 😍 I actually always rewatch your long long videos when im trying to sleep 🙈 hair talk and music is just so relaxing... Even your 'rants' - which totally arent 😂 thank you for the content! X
Yes me too!!!
I love longer videos too when watching other stylists! Glad yall stay entertained! 😂😂
Omg you did an amazing job and stop blaming yourself, it’s the damn light not you ... I love what you did to her hair 💕👌🙌
Thank you so much!
You are excellent hairdresser ❤
Personally, I love watching the whole foiling process because I enjoy the details. Satisfying! Thank you!
I‘m not even a hairdresser but I just love watching your blonding videos 😄 Love your personality too!
Thank you so much for watching!
When I use a swelling lightener or get that type of hair that no matter how tight the foils are it seems to slip. I started using the cholesterol conditioner to tap at the root after each foil, it was a total game changer. I never had to worry about any bleeding. Hope this helps, I have heard schwarzkopf swelled quite a bit. I loooove the longer videos! =)
That's an awesome tip, thank you for sharing! Il have to try it!
Thank you for this!!! I thought I was crazy.. I've been doing hair 17 years this year.. I've been pinning perm papers between gold because on some it seems to ALWAYS slip no matter what I do... I thought it was me lol
I think the top of her head where her hair was natural regrowth looks fantastic!! The rest is also beautiful and considering what you started with and everything you went through, it looks great!!
Same here... Foiling at a steady pace shows you care a lot 🤷🏻♀️💕🤗
Of rather someone take their time than rush thru it! $400 is a lot of money! Do it correctly!
Agreed!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Omg this is nothing else than 110% color perfection from a really professional and educated hairdresser that clearly are 110% perfectionist with your work and gives every client above and beyond. I have learned that about you after watching only 2 videos today. Because it's so obvious this isn't just your 9-5 jobb, this is certainly a passion. Because you make sure not only the clients are happy, but you also need to be before your work of magical art is ready. That fact alone creates the difference between being a professional hairdresser artist like you definitely are 💗 compared to having a job like a hairdresser 9-5 or just being one on paper ect...! after seeing your amazing work and videos $$$ I would gladly pay to get these results from seeing your videos " btw not to long😊" and if you are unsure of what to do ?! I will give you a tips even though I am late 🤓 My tips about long VS short video is to simply TIME STAMP on video when you are editing. For example fast-forward to 49:00 when the bleach foil section started 😊 or if you are divided on long VS short in general you can time stamp..!
I like to see everything, but if you want the general "RUclips" opinion on how short is to short= under 30 min, but 30-45 min are also normal in longer vlogs= not to long or short. And after 1 hour is often considered Long,or called movie VS episodes or part of a 4 part series ect. And people's livestreams can go on for hours 🤯🤷♀️🤓 very confusing, but it's kind of a general idea of what long and short video is on YT. But my advice is to keep on doing you and find your way on the journey, because you are already doing the most important thing to be successful, and that is to ASK question to the viewer's/followers like you do 😊.
Hey! This was the first time I watched one of your videos, came across it on my suggested. Just wanted to say that it was so nice to see someone be so transparent about everything in their videos. Even something as small as you saying that you couldn’t get the lighting right for a good photo, that the bleach swelled and caused a bleed mark, and most of all, how long it took! It’s so nice and almost relieving to hear all of these things being said because it reminds us (well definitely me) that we are not the only ones that go through these complications; these kinds of processes take crazy amounts of time and patients, and that we are not being out of line for charging accordingly and telling clients that “it may take 5,6,7 hours to achieve that ‘instagram result’ that you’re looking for”!
Thank you again for the great video!
Caine xx
Thank you so much for that thoughtful feedback! I really want to be real and honestly HATE the way Instagram and RUclips portrays hairstylists. Having to be perfect, look perfect, perfect picture, etc....... that's not real! Things happen and come up and clients honestly need to see the reality of services. Platinum blonde doesn't happen in 2 hours!
Thank you for posting this. I’m an extremely slow foiler as well so this makes me feel better. Your work is amazing!!
Im so glad to know im not alone!
love your honesty . makes me feel better knowing i'm not alone... some clients want the world in 2hours ...just unrealistic. dont keel to the pressure!
pefection takes time and lots of patience.
good work.
I love to watch your long videos. I am so glad that I found you in RUclips, and love how real you are. Such a great teacher!!!
Oh thank you so much!
That's how things go. You're a great hairdresser.
We all beat ourselves up at times.
Great job as always 👏
I love the long videos too !! Thank you so much for taking the time and teaching us what you know . We appreciate your time and effort . Great job on her hair , turned out great
Thank you so much! Glad to know the long videos are a fave!
I love your long videos or short all tips etc I watch them always as I feel after I look I get so much knowledge and better on my colours big huge thank you that you do it all here so we ho need more help we really understand what proses take how long and soo on, som one mentioned here already that ho doesn't want long video can play in front but please keep posting your fabulous job technics for me you are one of the best teachers I understand your explanations, Thank you, Kristi, you help me a lot!
I wish I lived closer to you because I would definitely have you do my hair. It would be a breeze after that job you just finished. I wish I could find someone here with your skills! Southern California has tons of salons and they charge outrageous amounts of money for doing jobs that take half the amount of time and thats not doing the fine foiling you did with the amount of bleach you had to use. You are a perfectionist so I understand why you were upset but you made the correction you felt you needed to do and the result was beautiful. She got more than her money’s worth 😊
Yep. Love watching the FULL SERVICE!
Kristi,
I think you’re fabulous!! I love the way you’re so honest and raw in your description!! I do things like this too, so this makes me feel so much better, at least I’m not the only one…… I hate ring lights too! Doesn’t show the true colour!! Like you I’m slow foiler I spend hours, but I’m a perfectionist in my work, like you I’m so passionate about creating a good job……I take so much pride in my work!
I used to use blonde me but like u I found it swells n seeps out at times so i have been using alfaparf 9 levels with built in reconstruction bond aid it’s absolutely unbelievable!
Thank you thank you for your fantastic videos! Trudy from Ireland Xxx
I want to see it all....if people don't like to watch full service they can fast forward...love love love the full service
Gorgeous the hair looked gorgeous I'm a hair stylist girl it takes 8 hours when you have to work on level 1 & 2 hair..
A real professional can fix the mistake.
And you rocked it..🤗
It turned out great... it most definitely can take several hours to achieve certain colors and tones when u are trying to keep the integrity of the hair intact without it melting or breaking off. People don't know there's several shampoos and conditioning plus Reconstructing conditioning treatments in between doing the foiling, double processing and toning. Not to mention the blow dry cut with style. Keep up the great work
I came across you looking for a tutorial bcs I thought I was slow at foiling and lifting. But to my surprise you did exactly what I do and I feel better now. TYSM for this video ❤ today I did a service that lasted 7 hours. She had so much hair I used 7 bowls of bleach at 40 G each 😅
Thank you for all you do sharing your talents and advice...I have been a styles for many years but enjoy watching you and learning new techniques. We all need to be refreshed now and again.
Just came across your channel (have been binging all day lol) and have to say I appreciate how real you are! Stylists need to hear that these jobs take a long time, and be encouraged to charge their worth. Also love how you say when you wish you had done something different, and that sometimes it doesn’t turn out perfect off the bat and we need to do damage control. It always turns out beautifully. It reminds us we are still talented we’re just not robots! Keep doing what you do!!💕
Hello! So glad you found my channel.... thank you so much for watching! I like being real and showing that imperfections don’t have to ruin a service, just take care of it and it’s not a big deal. Instagram can be so misleading with so many amazing stylists, you look at their work and think..... can I ever get to that point of doing perfect hair? But the truth is we don’t know the process, if any hiccups occurred, maybe it took 10 hours and cost $1,000..... I like letting stylists know the real world has slips and isn’t always a 2 hour service for $150.....
Girl you’re amazing I learn so much from you and I’ve taken 10 hours in a service before so ppl can keep their negative stuff to themselves ❤
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I just wanted to say that I too have never been the fastest draw as it relates to foiling or for that matter any other service however, that is what always set me apart. I think in order to produce the caliber of work that you do takes a patient and methodical approach. Rest assured that you did an amazing job on your client. I am new to your channel as I can see that this video is a year old but better late than never. I look forward to watching more of you creating magic and again, thank you for sharing.🙂
love your video. I always love learning new techniques since it refreshes my knowledge. I was in cosmetology school 50 years ago and so much has changed through the years. it is so good to see unclose training update knowledge to help learn new products. thank you for letting us know the product you used to create this beautiful color.
You did so good! Don’t even stress the after video-we get it! Bad lighting is just bad lighting. You’re amazing, and your client looks killer.
Honestly I didn’t even pay attention so far at the video length, it’s so relaxing watching your work 😋😊 I like the longer ones better but you will see the analytics anyway 🙃
Oh good to know, thank you!
K… LOVE your streams! Love them long and detailed -just like you do them. Have learned so much from you. ❤ So much thanks.
I’m so glad I found your channel! You explain things so well!
Thank you for your honesty!!! I know it’s hard to admit your mistakes and it’s so frustrating!! It’s also hard to not beat yourself up afterwards about your mistakes or how long it took! It is such a struggle to get past it sometimes!! It’s nice to know I’m not the only one!! I say I have a love/hate relationship with color!! Lol! It can be so much fun, but then it can also be a pain in the butt! 😅
Oh yes! It’s definitely a love love relationship with me but I more get anxious about it and over think, dream about hair, nightmares if I’m stressed out over a client lol the industry can be hard at times!
For the person who's watching your videos for educational value it would seem to me the longer the video the better. Keep doing what you're doing and stay awesome!✔️💯
Be side your talented , the way you talk very cute,sometimes make me laugh. Thankyou !
Oh so sweet! Thank you!
You are an awesome professional. I learned so much from you. ❤
Oh wonderful! Thank you so much for watching!
Love watching dark hair being done!! One of my fav and saved videos .. great job !
Thank you so much for this educational video! I love seeing your videos. They are all customized. I am also a slow/meticulous foiler. I appreciate they realness.
Of course! Thank you so much for watching! Ive always been told to speed up but there's something to say about us slow foilers!
YOU ARE AMAZING. Thank you for telling us how to communicate with the client. 😘😘😘😘😘
Aww thank you so much! I honestly think that's the best way to go about services!
@@hairbykristijennings6648 i’ve only been a hairdresser for five years but I’m 57 years old. And I have under sold myself the whole time in the attempt to try to build my clientele. Meaning I didn’t charge enough. But after watching your video I have decided to take the leap. I have two very difficult and transformative luxe that I’m doing this week and I have told them it will be minimum of $300. That was before I heard you asked what their maximum was. So when they get there and I do a definitive consultation in person that would be my first question. I appreciate you so much you do this so well.
I just found you and i absolutely adore the amount of details and the information as well as the length! And how you arent afraid to say NO! I love it keep bringing those 1 2 3 or 6 hours girl ❤🎉😊
You did a fantastic Job, in which her hair is done with care❤
Thank you! I always try to be cautious of the integrity of the hair ❤️
I just started cosmetology school (at 36yo 😅) and I’m obsessed with your videos 👏🏽🙌🏽 I hope to be like you one day 🤗
Oh wow! Good for you! Good luck on your journey!
I don't like long "talky" videos HOWEVER, I have no problem watching you You are exceptional because you don't blather on, you articulate each step to the point where I have very few questions at the end. I am thankful for the time you put into explaining why and what you plan to choose for the toner etc.
You must be so exhausted after a long session like that! You did a great job on her hair, too bad for the pictures but naili ng the ighting is just so tricky and not just with hair color but with everything. Even if you do get it perfect, so many people have jacked up settings and /or filters that intefere with the end result anyway so, whatever.
Keep doing what you are doing! Thank you!
I love how it turned out. Great detail.
I appreciate your transparency girl! Just found you and love how real and raw you are :) Keep em comin!
Oh yay! Thank you for watching!
I absolutely love your videos. I love how you go into detail and think out loud. It's helped me a lot as I'm starting to get back into cholera. I've been a stylist for 10 years but haven't done color and 7 so I feel like I'm starting all over
Oh good! Im glad to know thinking out loud helps! I always think no one wants to hear me ramble!
We enjoy watching you no matter how long it takes,,,because we want to give the same amount of attention to detail as you!!! You are so wonderful at giving instructions as anyone I know. Thank you so much, I have learned so much from you and have the same philosophy as you do to hair and concentration!❤
Hi!!I just found your videos and I can say that I love the long ones.Your teaching is on point and the results is amazing...and of course this kind of services are taking so much time and this has to be said to all the people that they think that this is easy and inexpensive.Thank you!!!
Yes! Exactly! Some people just don't understand! Thank you for watching!
+qq
I'm a slow foiler too takes me forever to do hair, lol! this is my 2nd video I watched of you and I find it VERY helpful you are amazing, thank you so much for sharing your work!
Thank you so much for watching! I could take forever foiling but now I dont worry too much about it lol clients appreciate quality work!
Leave in. Love learning new foiling techniques
You’re the best. You give such great advice and you know your stuff. Thanks for your knowledge and sharing it.❤😊
Thank you so much for taking time to record all this videos. I been learning a lot from you. You do awesome job.
And you know how much to charge.
Sometimes I have trouble with that.
Kristi the starting color of her ends are about my same exact color what can I use to tone to a bright blonde not necessarily Ash mine could be a tidbit darker and some places and lighter and some I have the ombre or sombre effect that I did myself I'm actually shopping at Sally's so not sure what on you would think or what level you think that she is at on her ends I love your work I wish there was something that could help me I really need to come and see you I am seriously considering flying out
Hello! That would be quite the trip! I would suggest something like level 7/8. It's pretty yellow / orange so it won't get any lighter. You just have to tone to not be so brassy.
You're a perfectionist! And you beat yourself up. I like tgat you keep it real! You are amazing. 👏❤🙌
I love the longer videos! It gives a good in depth look at what ur doing :) I take a long time to foil rn too but most of the time you need to!
Your work is realistic and shows what its really like. Btc videos are 90 minutrs or more like the previous comment said so i dont mind at all. Thank you for teaching us your tips and techniques I appreciate it! Oh and tysm for showing the formulas of your toners on camera so we can see what amount of each toner you put it. I measure the same way a little a this a little of that so I relate lol Gonna watch ur latest video now :)
Thank you so much! I like longer videos too! And yes, it's hard to share exact formulations when it's like a little of 5 different things 😂😂
You are so amazing no way I could do this without assistance
Schwarzkopf 10 minute color is great for foil bleeds. You are a wonderful teacher. My after pictures suck too. Very frustrating. ❤
Loved it!!! Great job!! Love all the little tips that mean so much!!!
Thank you for watching!
I found you just on time , this is exactly what I have to do this weekend.
Thank you .
Girl you did your damn thing! It’s STILL BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
I never get bored boring watching your videos no no no
I love long videos
Thank you, good to know!
Im slow at foiling too!! lol
I enjoy your long videos!!!
Take your time! Better results than rushing. Thanks for watching!
It’s only a very slight pale yellow, it’s not really noticeable and it is definitely the ring light! If u do longer videos and ppl don’t like it, they can easily skip ahead, a lot of you tubers put the time viewers can skip ahead in the description to see the next step ei: finishing the foils. Hope that helps. Love ur work, been binge watching ur videos 😝
Thank you! And your right, I totally love binge watching other hair stylists!
O have rebinge watched her videos at least 3x.a piece hahahaa I'm addicted!
Definitely agree love to see it all whole video too if boone doesn't like it they can skip through the video my personal opinion
I enjoy watching you work. 45 to 60 minutes is okay with me.
You did amazing sweetie, keep up the beautiful work
Thank you so much! ♥️♥️
thank you for all your efforts. you are one of my favorites ❤
Woohoo!! Excited to watch ❤️
Yay! Thank you for watching!
Love how real you are, likkke, we all get bleeders sometimes and no one in youtube shows it meanwhile it is real life and shit does happen. Even if they say they dont notice it it bothers me too and i have to touch up the spots If they happen. I also agree it fucking sucks when the light is gone and it doesnt show the colour justice lol. I have a question thou, how do you schedule your days, like, you may roughly know a colour may take you 4-5 hours, so do you only book clients every 5 hours? Or just one client a day? How do you book your next client when you have no idea if its gona take4,5,6 plus hours. Do you only take on one client a day? Im just curious! Great job girl🤍🤍
Hello! Glad you appreciate the honesty! 😂😂 alot of my clients were all brand new cause I was starting from 0 clientele so yeah, I had no idea for time. I think I'd do 2 services/ day maybe 3. But always ask for before and goal pictures. That way you have a better idea.
I love long videos… most I can do is an hour tho.. but I love your channel.. very extremely talented 💕💕💕💕💕
Thanks!
Omg. I never watch long video. This is what i’m looking for. I try to find if its possible to get that result in one time. 🤩🤩🤩
Loooveee uuuu for your honesty... love your work.. thank you
Awww! Thank you! That's so sweet!
Love the long videos. Would even be fun to watch a livestream hair service!
I do like watching your full videos to see how you do each section and explain because I like details and I love the fact that you share your mistakes or you imperfections and your corrections "BECAUSE" those are what all of us that stand behind a chair and go in the supply room saying Shit Shit Shit what formula do I need now to fix this issue, need to see!!!
Also you crack me up, your Personality is so similar to mine lol I just love it.
