As an older hairdresser of 40 years who’s still loving doing hair but obviously having to learn new techniques I have to say your video is so informative, makes perfect sense to me and gives me inspiration, I thank so ❤️

[@shortcake1]

Kristi, I want to come on here and say thank you! I did this exact foil method on my cousin who came to my school and it turned out so beautifully. I wish I can show you! Thank you times a million, you hold a special place in my heart and I always come back to your videos.

[@MsJerseyStyle]

I have been a stylist for 30 years and these techniques are new to me and admittedly actually frightening but I can no longer avoid them to stay current. Your video helped me so much especially about the money piece. I did a client yesterday with a thicker money piece and her hair looked incredible when it was down but pulled back it looked odd. I failed to explain that to her or even know that I should have. She is coming back for me to weave a few low lights. I am also getting used to these techniques take longer when I used to do a traditional highlight, cut and style in 2 hours. I felt like I was doing something wrong taking so long I like that you explain the costs and how to communicate this to clients. Next thing to tackle is toning. I sweat the entire time the toner is on afraid I am going to ruin the work I just did and cover it up too much. But anyway I am going to watch all your videos. Thank you for teaching this old dog some new tricks.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Of course! Thank you so much for watching! With toning, pull the hairline pieces aside and tone last cause they grab faster, tone underneath first if your unsure how it's going to process. If anything grabs too dark, or whatever clarify it out if you need to. Usually it will pull the overtone out and leave the tone really pretty

[@lilianmaher2809]

I know how you feel I’ve done a few keep it simple depends on what they want

[@julianaalban2185]

I love how well you explain the process and price to your client. I have dark and thick hair and the times I’ve gone to get a balayage done, I’m always told “I’ll do my best to get a closest as I can to that tone”, which meas that I never know what my hair is going to look like. :( I thought that people just don’t know how to work with dark hair but here you are doing an impeccable job! So beautiful!! 🤍

[@marietoupin6861]

looks amazing!!!! One of the best ive seen on dark hair!!!!!! Great job!

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you, that means so much!

[@k8marlowe]

So true, I have been told SO many times “my hair is virgin,” or “natural.” You were smart to do the strand test. Her hair is so dark, I really thought it was colored.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Yes! Better safe than sorry!

[@jackymoralesbouq7763]

Wow just beautiful!!!! Your literally the first person I have seen who show the whole process of your Techniques thank you for sharing again this helped me so much.

[@cristinagonzalez8707]

I really really appreciate how you have these honest conversations about your prices, I understand these are luxury services it’s an art form. I’ve left some salons feeling ripped off because we didn’t communicate.

[@curiosityprysm]

love this , thank you for sharing. I love you breaking down the hourly rate because I have always hit that wall of figuring out what you're going to use before I can asses the client or , surprise! there are layers of color

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Yes! I always give this is the max..... and over quote incase anything comes up. And if you dont need to charge so much, win win cause then the client is happy it wasn't sooooo bad

[@ana3671sosa]

Thank you for the good tips! I like your confidence doing this job and that you have been very honest and clear explaining the client before starting, that's a good professional! Loved

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you so much! Honesty is key!

[@sandrasantamaria7852]

First timer. Here I love how you explained in detail the outcome of the techniques. Thank you for this very helpful I just subscribed

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Oh hi! Thank you so much for watching she subscribing! I’m so glad this helped!

[@montiniquedavis533]

I really enjoy your videos! I like your realness, like how you don't front about your formulas (like you admit when you don't have correct measurements, lol, your appearance, everything! I incorporated your face framing techniques and your root shadow techniques ( which are sooo easy to understand, btw) into my services and WOW! Beautiful results! And thankyou for giving us the confidence to charge by the hour because girl, products do get expensive! I quoted $180 and it tool me 4 hours! I was pissed! Anyway, I'm subscribed!

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Oh yay! Thank you so much for all that! That really makes me happy to know! I try being honest in everything cause I hate FAKE instagrammers and you tubers. Like girl, we are not always smiley and perfect. Lol And yes! Start charging your worth!

[@vanessatobar54]

seriously love love your detailed video and the explanations throughout. Your a fantastic teacher

[@vanessab2726]

Wow your work is top notch!!! I really love how you thoroughly explain everything of why you’re doing something or using a certain color or technique, that is so super helpful thanks so much for your videos I am learning so much from you! thank you❤️

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you so much! Im glad to know it's helpful. Thank you so much for watching, I appreciate your support! ♥️♥️♥️

[@joangentile2731]

You do such great work, Kristi!! I love your work!! Wow!! It's a lot of work. That's for sure! That's why you guys charge a lot of money. However, it's worth it, if that's the color you want. I had highlights for five or six years. My hair is the same color as your client. I absolutely loved the highlights. My hair colorist used a honey blonde color on my hair. It was absolutely beautiful!! I loved it!! However, I learned that I needed to moisturize my hair with a deep conditioner at least twice a week for the highlights to look good. Since then, I decided to go back to the dark hair. However, I sure do miss the highlights. They made me look much younger, which is a good thing, since I'm 66 years old. Lol. The highlights blend in better with the gray hair, too. 💖

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Yes, it can be very drying to the hair. Id imagine some highlights would start showing thru eventually...... they are pretty tones for sure!

[@jenmiller6034]

Loved all the details on the video! You explained it so well! 💜

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you! So glad you liked it!

[@lmm7879]

This is a awesome video!! Great job going through it all step by step. 🥰 a lot of videos don’t go through step by step like you did. Thank you so much. And I love that you did a long dark hair , both my daughters have long long dark hair and so this really was helpful. 💕😀!

[@ZuzuHairCollection]

Oh Kristi, thank you so much for this video!!! I have been wanting to do balayage but I couldn’t as all the videos I see the hair of the clients already in other colours.. Thank you thank you… Now I can do balayage

[@lianagoldspink3623]

Love your videos I watch them religiously so relaxing and your techniques are amazing!

[@pamelaalley5691]

I’ve done hair for thirty years and now I’m a nurse. Love your tips❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎄💪

[@cassidycapone1]

“I thought her hair was to her shoulders” this sh*t happens to me all the time. I love the beginning of the video talking about pricing and appt time it’s raw real hairdresser complications

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

It's so hard! Quoting and then being like, ok no sorry 3x more for the length 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@angec590]

The colour is gorgeous! It’s what I want too 👍

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you!

[@lynndecarlo6704]

Amazing!!! Still loving your techniques in the salon.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you so much!!

[@SC-md4qo]

This is something I always wanted 15 years ago. Instead, I would end up with choppy blond streaks every time.

[@ugotcurlz]

Very nice! I like the technique you used as well. It wasn't overly complicated.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Yes! Just simple but time consuming!

[@damarizmalo4093]

Thank you for the breakdown on the price, my rate is also around $70 an hour, I feel like stylist don’t want to put a price tag on their work or say how much it really costs, whenever I ask no one answers me, they’re like “ it depends on the length” and area you’re located “ but the more we are open about it to our clients and we value our work there’s less confusion and feeling that we are working hard and not seeing revenue.And also this particular method I call “Fiolayage” because I use foils, if it’s open Balayage is one price but foilayage is more expensive because I take thinner sections and more bleach versus the open Balayage where is “free hand” and quick for me. Thanks a lot great color and video😍

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Yes! That makes total sense! I think also it's good to put a price so client see and have a realistic expectation for what to expect services to cost.

[@starlightzz1480]

I'm getting foliage tomorrow and I have black hair I'm sooooo excited!!! This turned out great!!! She looks amaze balls 😍😍 I'm getting golden honey caramel highlights!

I have l learned so much from your videos. I can’t thank you enough..

[@pauldavies283]

Hi Kristi WOW!👏🏼 absolute stunning as always and my heart just felt for you when you said you didn't realise how long it was🙄 I remember when I was salon based and clients would telephone for costing and when asked the length of there hair it was always "just to the shoulder " and yet when they arrived there shoulders had "dropped to there waist" 😳🙄😉 yet then had to stick to the price quoted 😫 needless to say I soon asked them to call in the salon for a "proper look see" ! 😉 ooh blimey she was like a cross between Rapunzel and lady Godiva 🤣 but it was a beautiful result 👍 stay well Kristi and thank you as always Paul 😘💋x

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Yes! I didn't know what to expect! Her hair was falling out of her pony tail that was wrapped up.... when she pulled it down, whoaaaaaaaaa ok yeah this won't be just 2 hours! 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@loricrystal2682]

Thank you for the video. I’m a hairstylist. I’ve been doing hair for 37 years. I’m in doing Baliage foliage all of it. It’ll be very informative for people if they could see the color of the lighted hair before you tone. If it is a dark gold if it is a pale, gold, accelerate, etc.. And was the hair dry when you turned it was at work when you turned it. Also, let them know if it’s a dark gold. He may want to add more blue. If it’s a very light pale gold, you may want to add more purple picking your toner is everything. Also, it would’ve been great if you showed how the front came out.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you!

[@sameethehairstylist]

Great video! Very descriptive! My only question is why start in the front before the back top section? Usually the front would need to be washed out before the back then unless you used a lower developer up front.

[@riverashes883]

@24:26 she shared that the client wanted it brighter around the face

[@YdelquisGeronimo-wd1cx]

I love how u work and take care of hair integrity you are awesome

[@caiaabrielle2294]

I love this! Did you tone her at the bowl or dry at the chair and how long did you let process? I love this and have a client that wanted exactly this! Thanks for the tips! 😘

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

I toned at the bowl, towel dried for 10 minutes roughly

I went to beauty school over 20 years ago and am not currently working in the Hair industry my specialty is more on the makeup side but your videos help me to do my own hair. My only question is if you have gray roots do you just go in and do a root tap and let it process before toning it?

[@moniqueonglam]

Yes! Next time I do a big service like this, I'll make a video on detangling.

[@daisylemus8568]

[@meganwoodard9582]

Have you made this video yet? I’m so curious about detangeling! I feel like is always takes soooooo long!!

[@cricket.1067]

I am gearing up to do something like this on a virgin hair black wig, any recommendations or shortcuts I can do? The wig is 22" and I plan on cutting 2-4 inches off, plus adding long layers. I want a similar color. Also how much Olaplex do you add per bowl (formula please?). Thank you Sooo much for your very detailed and excellent tutorials. I ❤U

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Oh im not really sure about on a wig since it's already been heavily processed so idk how it will lift and also olaplex lists instructions for what to use

[@janedavis9833]

Hi, this is my first comment on KZbin. I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos. Would you tell me how long it took you to apply the foils.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

I feel so honored to be your first comment, thank you! Her total application took roughly 3-4 hours.... the total service time was roughly 6 hours. I always take a long time foiling, but I don't feel bad about it anymore. Quality over quantity!

[@yordanalayseca8738]

@@hairbykristijennings6648 hi! related question, at some time of the application do you take out the first foils you made? or you take them all out once at the bowl?

[@vanessaliora]

I have the same colour hair but i want blonde instead of caramel … would i need to start with caramel cuz i know getting to blonde is processe

[@isaac7854]

So pretty

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you!

[@cindycarpenter56]

Hey Kristi what's the purpose of back combing when you do your colors? Is it only on balayage

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Hello! Great question..... back combing helps to create a better blend. Imagine taking hair and not back combing, if you draw a line straight across the hair, it's still straight. Now back comb the hair , a little or alot, paint that same line across the hair then comb the hair out..... the line is more diffused now cause all those hairs you pushed up is getting painted at different levels. When you pull all that hair back down the line becomes softer. That's why back combing helps with balayage. Don't do a straight line, more feather up to soften the line. I hope that helps!

[@dwhairstudio]

I would assume you started out with 10 vol ? And remix with higher volume as you work up to top? And what color of toner? I have had problems with the hair heating up with so many foils. If that makes sense. I have a client level 4 wanting carmel so just need little more details. Please and thank you.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Hello! I just use 20 vol unless it needs a push past being too brassy and I go over toner formulation in the video.....

[@kelsieannlozano5054]

I LOVE YOU KRISTI!!! Question, do you ever do root smudges on clients like this with a very rooty balayage. I’m only asking bc it looks so well blended like you did but you never mention it and don’t show the process. Just curious

[@muktahiremath8490]

Hi, I do have the same dark color natural hair. I want to highlight my hair with loreal (630 caramel). Can you please tell me the amount of 20 vol. used ? How much amount of developer and colourant creme should be mixed ?

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Usually it's its 1:1 ratio, but the manufacturer's instructions should be in the box

[@TA13OOlover911]

I have similar hair yo that but I want a toner yo bring it back to life again any suggestions please.. much appreciated.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Honestly depending on how warm you like it..... a 7 copper would be pretty!

[@MariamMohamed-ng9rl]

Very lovely.

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Thank you!

[@pamelaalley5691]

I don’t agree with lower volume especially when you aren’t using heat. The volume cuts in half when you mix with anytime so the proactive time is reduced. My opinion and I’ve learned from many professionals. You are amazing!! I just don’t agree with that statement. 30 years in the business also. Educator, platform artist and lover of hair!!! Merry Christmas and God bless!!

[@michealbowers8899]

First bleach, the toner. You couldn't buy the exact product she uses at sallys, but you could buy products that could work.

[@amadormichy]

Hey Kristi! I have a question does it make a difference if you use a different brand developer with a good lightener like (redken, blonde me, matrix, Paul mitchell ect.)? I’m a student and I love watching your videos they are super informative and I’ve learned a lot thank you so much 😊 love, Michey ❣️

[@hairbykristijennings6648]

Hello, thank you so much! As much as I think generally it's "ok" to use different developers with other brands, I don't recommend it. Sure, I will if I'm last minute out of something but I wouldn't make regular practice out of it. They formulate everything to work together, so I wouldn't want to interfere with the outcome by inter mixing lines. Good luck with school!

[@amadormichy]

hair by Kristi Jennings Thank you and for your response to my question. (:

[@AdrianaPerez-rs2mn]

Do you foil the whole hair with bleach or just partial ?
