FOIL PLACEMENT + MONEY PIECES AND ROOT SMUDGING

[@aryanak88]

Really enjoyed this! Going to do this on one of my clients today. Ive been a color specialist for 6 years now and I gotta say, I really appreciate how long and detailed this was!! When I watch other people’s demo videos I get so frustrated because they speed it up so much I can’t even see the sectioning! So THANK YOU!

[@stephaniemaxwell3510]

Could you do a diagram of the foil placement, like you did with the extensions, that way there is something to look at, if we would want to try this placement & the money pieces??

[@danielledixon7328]

This is a really good idea!!!

[@laurakoepsell13]

Hi Jessi! Every time I watch your videos I always say to myself "Ugh, I wanna be just like her!" So I'm leaving this comment to say THANK YOU! It's my first year as a licensed cosmetologist, and I have to say your videos have helped me grow so much as a stylist! Your girls at the salon are so lucky to have you and learn from you!

[@justjessiiii]

aw you are so so sweet! thank you SO much!!!

[@amyroldan7]

I'm a "starting" cosmetologist in training meaning I haven't even gone to school for it yet, but I have a few clients from friends and family and I use a lot of your tips and tricks and they have just made me more successful in my blonding work! I already feel like I'm at cosmetology school when I watch your videos, thank you!

[@Kbeautilious]

Your not a broken record! I love every part of your videos! If people don't wanna watch all of it they can fast forward lol, thank you for all your details! Your amazing 💖

[@lindsaykendall88]

Your videos are so bomb!! I appreciate you showing us your fabulous techniques! You explain everything so well too. You are one of the best tutorials I have ever watched on KZbin! Bravo❤️

[@danielledixon7328]

I finished cosmetology school in 2002. It's crazy how things have changed. There are so many things we did not learn. I guess they stick to basics. Then you learn more in the salon. I love that we have u-tube and Pinterest. If I had this back then I would of felt like I was not alone. Back then I had so many questions for other stylist and now we can learn from all over the world. I'm thinking about to going back to school. I have been out of it too long. Plus I also want to go to a make-up school. Thanks for showing your techniques on blonde. I love the money highlights. I wish you would show more highlight and lowlights on brunette. I use to get both but ask for copper, dark brown, red, and golden blonde. That would be a interesting video. I even love when you can do a platinum blonde highlights on top of a another blonde, and a 1-2 more. I love that look wish I could pull that off. Another thing I would love to see how to put extensions in.

[@pimpmyride7278]

Danielle Dixon so true. I finished around the same time as you. I feel like I need to go back to school!

[@aftereverett]

You saved me! I always wondered how this was done and this just solved all my problems. You have no idea how much you've helped me! Thank you! keep making videos! Great content!

[@janetrojas8939]

I am so glad I found your channel a few months ago!!! I probably went through all your videos at least 3 times!!

[@meganizzle23]

OMG I've been searching for HOW to do this on KZbin for MONTHS!!! I love all of your videos and your work is incredible !! Congratulations on your new line I can't wait to hear all about it !!! -Stylist from Oklahoma 💋💞

[@katelynnkokes801]

I’m a new hairstylist at my salon and I’m so stressed about my timing! May I ask how long it usually takes you to wrap a foils for this service??

[@JV-ut5sw]

Literally the best video, EVER! The only thing that could've made it better is getting a bird's eye clip of your foil placement above the crown area. I'm currently a cosmo student, and I'm doing a co-workers hair in a few hours, and this video helps a ton. Loving your money placements!

[@stephenhetzel8437]

Great video. Thank you for this video. I was doing forward diagonals on top but love the look when finished. I will try these placements very soon.

[@Icyyyg1rl]

Please make a vid on how to build a clientele/or tips for new stylists ? :)

[@justjessiiii]

great idea!!

[@michellestewart761]

Yes, great idea

[@redw.2452]

It's so nice to work on easy hair all your videos are hair that pulls up quick I work on long thick black hair native american beautiful hair but takes a few tricks to go blonde but I mastered it I LOVE the challenge

[@itsashlynyay93]

I've this video!! There's not enough foiling videos online! Would you consider making more foiling videos please?! Maybe your techniques on medium and chunky highlights? 😊

[@bennysmom6544]

Ashlyn Loo totally agree!!!!!!

[@angelaachee7933]

Thank you for sharing your work and your thought process! You are truly an amazing artist!!!

[@justjessiiii]

thank you so much!

[@missyajohnson2]

I've been looking for a foil placement video foreverrrrr.. Thank you! Would love to see more of the placement

[@marisakline9748]

Love watching your videos! I'd love to see how you color someone to a brunette while adding balayage in it!

[@rachelkowalski7096]

I would love to see some more colour correcting videos, a pixie haircut tutorial, as well as a few upstyling tutorials. Love all your work! Xo

[@Beautymarxx11_12]

Hello!!i absolutely love this look!how is it that the root smudge doesn’t stain the blonde?

[@roshelycao1420]

Congratulations on your hair extension line!!!!! Thank you for sharing your new technique, you r the best!!!! I missed ur videos!!!! Also, Jessi, can you do a video on a very buttery blonde or platinum blonde with very minimal root smudge? Thx ;-)

[@justjessiiii]

thank you!! yes i will!

[@expressionsbyjess4775]

Can't wait for those hair extensions! Thanks for all the info! Love the foil placement

[@justjessiiii]

thank you so much!

[@Mollybearknows]

Hair cutting videos! ❤️I could watch you work forever! You're amazing!

[@valeande]

Hi Jessi! I love your videos! I do have a question. When you were applying the toner, did you rinse out the Ola Plex treatment first?

[@angelastenfeldt]

I love your videos!! your technique is amazing! ❤❤

[@hmzedwards]

Please explain how you choose your formulas. I'm new to shades EQ. Love the way your blondes come out!

[@andrewgebe4156]

I am obsessed with your Def Leppard shirt

[@justjessiiii]

haha thank you!

[@jessicamoll7625]

Thanks for including the type of tint brushes this time!

[@mariabutler7532]

I always do the lows first as they also need time to deposit and you don't have to worry about damage. I always use a Bonder in my lightener. And do 2 highs to every low. My lows are chunky sliced and the highs medium to fine. I'm very tedius with my high weaves and pay close attention to how much space is between each weave. When rinsing, I isolate my foils. Usually dropping the lows first really well. Unless I use the lows to tone the highs. It depends. I'll be celebrating 40 years behind the chair soon. #lovmywork

[@leahxx3003]

I would love to see a video on your extension line!

[@justjessiiii]

i will be doing that very soon!

[@kimberlystephens5255]

Thank you for the detailed video, it's hard to find them now days with current techniques without being charged to watch it!!

[@bodyjewels]

Jess. love love this video..perfection I'd I wanted a bit more warmth root and toner. what color would you suggest. root smudge and ends mixture. more sun baby blonde

[@mirandamartinladner1904]

Love your videos! You inspire me to be a better hairstylist!

[@chasitymiller846]

HI JESSI! I really like to know what hairdryer and curling iron. also if you could please show in the video when you rinse the back foils because sometimes have a hard time with it. thanks so much for the education! God bless you!

[@justjessiiii]

they are T3! yes i will!!

[@1234567890tubeyou]

Hi I know this is an older video, do you still use this technique for packing in super close babylights? What partings would you do for someone who wants a partial but also wants to be completely covered with no roots? Thanks, love your videos!!

[@beatrizgarcia6850]

Love your hair girl!! Your amazing awesome videos!

[@sarahelwell3382]

I’d love to see more videos on balayage techniques and how you formulate for root smudge when doing highlights

[@michkay1]

Very pretty!!! Love the technique!

[@breeobirek1209]

Looks gorgeous!! Great video. Do you leave the olaplex treatment on while you tone the ends?

[@bregiordano6646]

Bree Obirek you have to rinse it out first

[@LM-ic8fw]

Love your videos. I'm learning a ton!

[@terihowey7649]

When you used olaplex #2 and put in on her ends, did you put it on her mids too? Did you rinse off the olaplex before you applied the the toner to her mids and ends first?

[@MsAbreeaJ77]

Can you explain the sectioning.?

[@redheadshed9365]

I absolutely love your channel! I am 18 and a new hairstylists. I LOVE it. Your videos help so much. It usually takes me about three hours to place the foils on my clients and people have told me I should learn to work faster. I also get nervous that the clients hair will end up being over processed and damaged. I usually go through and sprits out the pieces I started first. About how long does it take you.. any suggestions?

[@BeautybyBailey512]

Very helpful. I loved the money piece placement👍🏻

[@beautybyjoan1756]

I'm sorry if this was already covered, but did you apply the toner over the olaplex on the ends? Very beautiful!!❤️❤️

[@toriwhite2132]

Love it jess! Awesome job!

[@ShannonVanFleet]

So happy to see you back! Love your color videos! Something I have been doing lately when I have to smudge and tone is applying my toner all over and then laying my root smudge directly over top! Sort of similar to you doing the root smudge and then laying the toner over top, only doing it in the opposite order! (I like to add a little clear to my toner so it can process longer, otherwise the toner would be done way before the root smudge! Clear helps me process them for the same time!) Huge time saver overall! Question for you- do you rinse the olaplex off of the ends before you apply the toner, or do you do it directly over top?? Thanks, love!!!

[@amyaldermn6258]

What brand is your curling iron?

[@pamelagentry7477]

Shannon VanFleet I was wondering the same thing. Would the olaplex keep the toner from completely coating the hair shaft? I've been told that doing O#2 AFTER toning keeps your toner longer, so would putting the toner OVER #2 do the same?? Anyway-GREAT IDEA!!! I'm going to do my root smudge/toners your way from now on. Eliminate some rinsing time. Thank You 😊

[@brettryan6135]

She washes the Olaplex off first before the toner on the ends.

[@GirlNxtDor123]

im a stylist in Omaha, Nebraska! LOVE your channel and videos :)

[@viktorijasink8221]

Love you!! Maybe a fun short bob/graduated bob and or pixie haircut. Or even better how you like to highlight short hair! Muah xoxo

[@Eat-sleep-playbarbies]

Loved the root smudge what color did you use for it?.. Love your taste in music

[@katlinmacleod7591]

I love long videos!!!! learn so much more when details are given. how long does applying this full head of foils take you and what would you charge for something like this? I struggle with pricing big time!

[@lyndsayramos6718]

Where did you get your denim apron from?! I love it!!! 😍 I've only found the victory brand for barbers

[@michelled8891]

Freaking love you girl!! Favorite hair videos to watch by far!!

[@justjessiiii]

aw thank you so much!

[@11Dossier]

I see that you overlap bleach on previous highlights. I’m fearful of that. Do you use Olaplex in your bleach to prevent damage? I know you used Olaplex treatment after you highlighted. Your work is beautiful btw.

[@MichelleVirginiaaa]

What brand are your tools? (Blowdryer and curling iron) They are too cute!

[@smerca]

MichelleVirginiaaa In another video, she mentioned they are the T3😉. So pretty, aren't they?!

[@ashleybordas]

So what do you normally charge for something like this? I would love a break down. I'm always super hesitant to charge what I really want to even when it turns out oerfevt

[@xxstarkiee]

Do you have a problem with your root smudge fading and getting brassy? I was told by a Redken Educator that Shades EQ will always fade back to the underling tone of the level. I always worry that when I root smudge my clients, in 3-4 weeks they're going to have brassy roots and blonde ends. Thanks! Love your videos!

[@sarahwilliams9789]

Hey jessi I love LOVE your videos!! I was wondering if you could tell me where you got the bowls you use for your color I think it’s so cute you don’t use the traditional color bowls

[@luxinspohairtauteincmelind6462]

Great video! That’s pretty smart of the people who came up with the idea to use a piece of photo frame plastic as a balayage board. The regular boards are overpriced IMO. I can’t stop laughing but I think “money pieces” has to do with something else. I can’t help it. My closest sibling was a boy and anything done at the very end that was totally bada$$, no matter what it involved, he would say “woah money shot!” It never failed. I remember way back in 1997 a stylist did verticals and I loved it! No root smudging back then though...my hair always looked much better after 2 weeks.

[@sandrab2422]

I’m watching this in Feb. 2019 I’ve been watching J. for about a yr. now and my question is how do hairdressers today get so good so fast? I finished B.S. in 1998 and we were never this creative!

[@urhairstylist18]

Sandra Bedoya you have to break all the rules you learned in school. Actually hair now a days takes all day and lasts for 6 months because it’s all about how it grows out. Accentuating your natural hair

[@jensheehan820]

Do you change the developer volume on the different sections so they have around the same processing time?

[@SweetestoftheSour]

Beautiful❤️👏🏻 I have a question if you can give me your input that'd be amazing :). I have a client that has medium to light blonde hair. And she likes a darker (7n) . Do you like doing the root color first? Or just do it together?

[@kayabulwer]

i love you !! thanks so much ! i learn a lot from you . love from belgium 😙

[@sistoabeyta3599]

Do you have to do a root smudge on every client. And the root smudge color is a natural right? Also could you explain what the difference between root smudging and then toning ends and just toning ends? Cause I know people that don’t root smudge at all almost.

[@allyshannon8621]

Where is your apron from? Love it!

[@justjessiiii]

amazon!

[@alyssamayhair5598]

LOVE LOVE LOVE Your vidoes!!! What styling product do you use??

[@Christmust391]

When you do a root smudge... What decides what level of toner you use? Do you just pick the save level as their natural color? I've been having a hard time finding a perfect tone to use as a smudge... I find that often it gets a little too ashy or a little too warm (dont think my clients notice this. maybe it's cause im so picky but it's a problem for me cause I want it perfect)

[@JimsBabyGirlXOXO]

Have you ever toned with redkins shade 09N? I was wondering if it would work since it has the blue/violet undertone.

[@CrazyLifeOf3Kids]

What kind of blow dryer and round brush do you use

[@cutsbydrew]

CrazyLife Of3Kids shes using a t3 blow dryer and an olivia garden round brush

[@kaylabenson1426]

Can you do a strict video on foil placement ?

[@ritaboghosian4747]

Love your videos! Very educational..The girl in the background wearing yellow, picked her seat LOL Other that that, you're awesome..

[@katelynhughes9298]

I love your definition of "money-piece" that's such a great, simple explanation of a (sort of) complex idea. Also, I love the longer videos! I feel like if you cut too much out, you lose the education value of the video, which defeats the purpose of posting. I personally learn by watching over and over, then applying it to my process, so longer videos really help me grasp tinge concepts you're demoing.

[@Carigurrl]

Can I do this foil placement on a brunette that wants highlights and lowlights? Just for grey coverage

[@lwebster37]

Your video was very educational for me. Thank you so much for sharing! I would watch it no matter how long it was. It turned out really pretty! 3 questions how long total processing, I heard you say 25 minutes for the back, did you use heat? And what size curling iron did you use? Thank you! 🙂

[@nicolejackson3537]

You added the toner after you applied the root smudge, but you said you put Olaplex on her ends so does that cancel out the toner? If not, why?

[@christinadeking5427]

You used the Goldwell lightener 20vol and Olaplex. Doesn’t Olaplex knock that down to a 10vol? Also how long do you let the hair process?

[@sdk087]

Hi...I love this video!!!! for the top did you do with natural part or just the middle?

[@Thegeeginator]

Curious as to how you use olaplex on your ends as a barrier while you do your root smudge buy then tone over the olaplex?

[@aimeewaite925]

I love the music!! Who sings this song? I LOVE your work & videos!❤️👍🏻

[@miraquelabelardo4047]

Can't I asking you if you finish high light what color did you put in that top

[@aleeasieben9374]

How long did this appointment take? love the finished result

[@justjessiiii]

Aleea Sieben about 3 hours! Thank you!

[@bennysmom6544]

Jessi Gish I JUST found your videos last night and I'm OBSESSED. I went to beauty school in 2001! This was way before it was a "thing" to go to beauty school bc all of my friends were going off to college. Long story short, I did hair for about 6 years before I became burnt out. Unfortunately, I learned a VALUABLE lesson. The lesson was I should have been WAY more picky about the salon I chose to work in. I was an eager 18 year old and SO passionate about the beauty industry, but at the time, I was working with women in their late 30's- early 40's and they just didn't have a desire to learn more about the hair industry. I am so passionate about the beauty industry and unfortunately that environment just sucked the life out of me😔. However, I will say that the hair industry was nothing like it is today. All of the different techniques now are AMAZING!!! Probably the best thing I learned at the salon I was talking about before was the slicing technique for highlights. The salon owner I was working for was INCREDIBLE!! She would apologize to me and say that she was sorry that she wasn't a good teacher! Lol. However, I watched everything that I did and soaked up anything and everything I could. She used to laugh and say that balayage was for lazy stylists. I know that's untrue, but it's incredible to see a stylist TODAY, doing the number of foils you do and also see the placement. I learned about those "money pieces" before they were called money pieces but I LOVE the name because they TRULY are MONEY PIECES. I can tell how passionate you are and you are an incredible educator as well! Never apologize for your videos going too long, I could watch you do hair for hours. It's so relaxing to me! Anyhow, I wanted to contact you to see where you were located and if you could do my hair. I've watched hundreds of stylists over the years on KZbin but never wanted to travel for them to do my hair but I would travel to wherever you are just to have you do my hair!! You are truly ONE OF A KIND!!! The industry needs more stylists like you.

[@justjessiiii]

oh my gosh, thank you so much! this comment just made my day! thank you SO much for watching and for all of the support!! it means a lot to me!

[@gracemorua2553]

Great video How long did it take just to complete the foils? I am in school and would like to work on my timing.

[@justjessiiii]

usually about 45 for a full head! just keep going, you will get quicker with practice!

[@selena6301]

hI ..Do you leave the olaplex on her ends and put the toner right over top of the olaplex or rinse it out first before toning the ends ?

[@mrios723]

Can you do a balyage video on dark hair? with babylights for a natural look. Also, how can i order extensions for my own hair? I am a hairstylist.

[@taylorkidd9725]

How long do you leave the toner on? You said you might leave the root smudge on for 8 minutes before you tone so it’s a total of 10 minutes.? Does that mean you only left the toner on for two minutes?

[@taylorgoss9728]

Hi Jessi! I do a lot of work like this. Balayage is my specialty. I was just wondering how long a service like this takes you. I use pretty much all of the same product you do - LOVE shades! And also, how much would you charge for this? And also for something mid back? I get so irritated sometimes because I live in a more rural area but people bring me in all these Pinterest pictures which I don't think they understand that those girls are either hair models or pay like $500+ not including extensions for their hair and don't realize how much work this really is and how expensive our products are... it's like girl I'm spending 3-6 hours sometimes more with you + cost of product + cost of my booth rental and they think it's going to be like $100... girls be trippin! I've recently raised my prices but it's still not enough. I live in California and i do Bay Area work and they are expecting an at home price and it's really frustrating. Do you have any tips for me for what I can tell them when they complain about the price? I've honestly gotten to the point now where I'm like then go to that place that charges you cheaper then because I guarantee they will be back when I have to color correct their hair 😂

[@RobertoRiosbiz]

Taylor Goss Rule of thumb You charge according to the area if you’re living in a very wealthy area you can charge a lot of money since you are using high-end products and taking your time to do a fantastic job if your salon is located in an area where income is low you have no choice but to charge according to what they’re able to afford.

[@Moving.to.the.moon.]

did u tone the end on top of olaplex or did u rinse it first? awsome video btw

[@jumpitnow123]

Love your color apron !

[@Freefee97]

love your apron where did you get it? super cute

[@emilyelizabeth7340]

I'm always worried that by the time I get to the front, the back will be over processed

[@pimpmyride7278]

Emily Elizabeth just mix up different level developers until your speed increases.

[@a.g.9919]

split hair into 4, and mix the bleach up for every quarter - use 20 vol so it doesnt bleach too quickly

[@glossymane]

Does it matter what type of foils to use? Or what would be the better quality foil and easiest to use?

[@natalietrevino926]

I love this! 😍How long does this technique take you to apply??

[@hannahwhitfield8383]

can you show how you part the hair to do highlights? I love your videos!

[@hannahwhitfield8383]

like how many sections and where you part them off.

[@desiraeoquist7080]

You should do a video over all the hair utensils you have

[@nooooola5335]

i thought you werent supposed to let the shades glosses foam up as they have a kinda od shampoo agent in them which makes the colour not last as long, you were meant to keep it just glossy without emulsifying - if this isnt the case let me know as this is something i get conscious about but if it doesnt matter then great x

[@michellec2447]

Do you have to refresh your color formula when you get to the sides with the bleach and color??

[@allisonjohnsrud9551]

So as far as the sectioning goes, when you are baby lighting like that, roughly how thick or thin is each individual section? And on a prior video.... or maybe a later video not sure, you wipe the fools and start an olaplex treatment, do you just do the mask or start the No. 2?

[@justjessiiii]

Usually they are thick enough where you can still see the tail end of your comb through the section, and then slicing the top of that! So they do end up being pretty thin!! It is olaplex no. 2!

[@allisonjohnsrud9551]

Jessi - JZ Styles thank you so much for the reply!!!

[@lannahkelley8115]

What blow dryer, curling iron and round brush were you using?

[@MissParisaNaderi]

You are so amazing and talented Jessi 😍❤️
