When you get that feeling of anxiety take a deep breath let the oxygen wash your brain. You are a very good communicator. I am a 59-year-old haircolorist trying to keep up with the industry and you and your communication are of great help😊💕💫

Thank you for that! I definitely don't take time to breathe at work when I'm stressed. That is such a thoughtful tip!

VERY gorgeous color!

[@moniquesullivan7638]

I'm right there with you!!!! I sometimes feel I'm not good enough, but I love what I do ❤️

[@Sophistigrace]

I tried this technique about six months ago, and let me tell you, it turned out AMAZING!!! I encountered a couple of colorists who didn’t want to work on my hair so I gave up and decided to do it myself, I have a level 3 hair color, so it was too dark for them. I did the whole thing and people kept complementing me everywhere. Thank you so much for your wisdom and YEARS of hard work and your own learning, this video is invaluable!

[@wavves320]

You see I went to cosmo school and they mostly taught us just how to pass stateboard and not enough about technique and with your video I feel like I learned a lot and it gave me more confidence!!! I'm exited to try this out

[@ARAZAMN]

I am 3 months into finishing cosmo school and dude yes ur right they don’t teach you much techniques in school. She has made me confident in doing hair watching her videos

[@cheyennefolk9721]

I’m in cosmetology school and I did this on my friend and WOW. I think I used to overfoil so much in the beginning and now I’ve learned that less is more sometimes if you want that beautiful dimension. Happy I learned that early on thanks to you and your video! Now I teach my classmates who have watched me and see how much faster my services tend to be now ❤️

[@jacquelyneveritt6888]

Same here I'm so happy I found this technique not only am I saving my clients money I'm also saving time so I can get them in and out quicker instead of spending the whole day as much as I love them the more clients the better

Looks good, and saved time, foils and more! Good way to achieve time!

Thank you for showing how her hair looks before styling! I personally always wear my hair straight and like seeing how blended things look on straight hair. This is beautiful!

You're a great communicator. As someone who has been in the industry for 20 years but new to coloring hair, I appreciate the over explaining because coloring hair is not black and white, it's gray! Ha! I also love that you entitled your tutoriial as EASY and it's actually EASY!!! A lot of youtubers advertse as "easy" but skip through critical steps that heavily impact the end result!!! Thank you!! Keep posting please!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽

I love love love this placement & can never thank you enough ma’am for posting this 🥰🥹🫶🏻 of all the hair industry gurus, your tutorials make the most sense to me & easy to follow & I just trust you w it all!

W t h?!?! I have been on KZbin for weeks obsessing and watching all these baly foily bowlyages you name it but all of the clients results were usually too understated/zzZz or wouldn’t work for my hair color. I was looking for demension on a brunette with bright & heavier front and lightening through the hair but not overboard.. yet still being able to leave the lightened and brown colors their own color without over mixing into one. And BAM BABY!! Finally!!! Great freaking JOB! Not to mention not that many foils!!! I’m stoked. Hair looks great! Ps I understood everything you were saying and I’m far from a stylist Keep them coming !

[@brittanywhitaker5781]

Oh!! And I’m stoked because now I have a video to go off of while I attempt this on my long brunette hair :p

Yeah right .. u got skillzzz girl!! Soo many vids will start out all fancy with music.. and an Australian accent pops up. And I’m like OHHH SHYT!!

Sorry, I'm not usually a commenter but haven't done foils in a while and am about to help out a friend and come across your video which shows basically exactly what I do to avoid growing out in a harsh way. I love it but the reason I'm commenting is your anxiety explanations. I am right here with you. I understand exactly what you're saying talking about and feel the same way. I had to rewind it and listen to it again because I'm cracking up. I will have to show my friends and they will all be like. Oh my gosh that's you! So you're not alone sister. Also, this comment is voice to text because I just got out of the shower and I'm not going back to check any typos or mistakes. So be kind lol

[@lifeasitis2020]

I can't thanknyou enough for this video, I had been trying for years different salons in south florida, but as having a black dark original color, they always ended up doing what they can😢 , even if it means returning for a secomd step process to ligthening more, now im medium brown, but they can never let my highlights light ash with low lights dark, so today i found this video, and decided this is a fantastic way to do it myself and try.(of.course temporary, i will def need the professional hand to do the whole head properly) I just finished and realized that my color turned out with this technique closest to the color i want❤.. i was very slow with highlight but tried to imitate all what you taught here and highlights came out super clean, light and beautiful, that I believe bleaching the hair is the scary part for most of us. If one day I visit your state, definitely ill make an appointment with you❤ it would be my dream coming true❤ thanks

[@tacoboutbeauty5861]

You hit the nail on the head for me on not doing shadow root/smudge. I feel like that tends to create not only more unnecessary work during appointment but along the line in future appointment . I know even though we use Demi color for those but still it will have to be lifted out but sometimes warmth does occur. Plus not doing a root tap does give the best grow out results unless we are working on dark dark hair or gray coverage:)
