@bmihoch That's correct. I start laying angled foils parallel to the hairline behind the ears and as I travel over the occipital area, the foils pivot until they are parallel to the floor, along the occipital ridge. The sides do the same, parallel to the hairline on the sides of the face and pivot until they are level with the parietal ridge. Then one row parallel to the front hairline, and travel back to the apex.
It's so he will come out with an even, consistent color, rather than the back being lighter than the top. The way developer works is, 20v will lift the hair two level, 30v will lift three, and 40v will lift four (under most circumstances). If he increases the developer volume as he works, the color will be the same throughout, even though the hair has been processing for different amounts of time. Hope that helped! :)
That's correct. If I use the same volume, I have to rinse different areas at different times. By increasing the volume as I progress through the sections, All the sections will finish processing at the same time.
What color line are you using in this video? Also i've noticed you fold your foil on the side you paint the product on, I do the opposite and i fold in the sides to prevent an in between color from leaking in..did you ever do that or is the technique you use more efficient?
I use Wella Color Touch (demi-colour) and Koleston Perfect (permanent colour)
At one time I used to fold the sides but two things sometimes happened. Gases formed during oxidation would get trapped in the foil packet. Having only one edge to escape, it would cause distorions in the colour at the root of the hair. Also folding the sides and smoothing them into nice neat packets can cause the colour to leak out of the foil at the roots, again causing distortions and colour bleeding.
Prices are really relative to the location and amenities of a particular salon. In my zip code, the average price for this service would range from approximately $95.00 - 160.00
As I said, the pricing is going to be relative to the location. In Boston, MA, this service (full-head higlhight, demi-colour, final glaze and blowdry) would be around 250.00....in Lynn MA the same service is around 50.00. Also in Boston the average household income is near 100K and in Lynn the average income is 25K. Our Salon rent is $2600.00 per month. At $35 for a highlight, I'd have to do 75 clients, just to pay the rent.
I'm glad to see the foils aren't being closed. Of all the videos I watched on here they closed their foils. Tabatha's Salon Takeover honey!! Never close your foils because it causes bleeding!!
I love hearing those words from my stylist, the same words you spoke at 0:51..."let me get a cape"... then poof, the cape appears on the client, that was funny.
Hi! I just wanted to thank you for posting this video. I've always had difficulty with sectioning the underneath in a full head of foils. This helped me so much! Thank you!
You're awesome! Thanks for sharing. It's a really nice quality in a person to want to teach others and share their knowledge. You make the world a better place. :)
This technique is exactly what I need to do with my sister. How you sectioned and did the back answered a lot of my questions and gave me a way to overcome some obstacles... Very well executed. I wish I could take my head off and do this to myself. :P Take care!
Thank you for your nice words... It's good to know that we BOTH are doing it in a manner that works for us. One note though...please don't take your head off. You may not get it back on in time for my next video! LOL! Peace
I would like a better understanding of your sectioning technique also. What happens if your client has a large head? Would you use the same sectioning? Im adding this one to my favorites so I can watch again :)
in an overall highlightening, yess, pretty much the same pattern for large and small heads. The idea is to try to keep the edge of the foil as parallel to the scalp as possible. if the corners are further away than the middle, the roots will be longer on the sides of your section. By following the contours of the head. you get less roots.

Why change the volume for the different areas? Is that because of her current hair color or regrowth from her last color job?

Tabatha's correct, it can cause bleeding....also if you are going for a BCH certification, you will loose points if you close the foils.
