 You have to stay here. I'll see you soon. I'll see you when I come back. No, no, no Penny Stay by my angel Hello, good morning. Happy Wednesday. I In the chaos of trying to leave as you saw I'm like 50 50 with bringing Benny to work with me when he was younger I used to bring him pretty much every day, but now he's pretty good about staying home My boyfriend is with him on the days when I know I'm gonna have like back-to-back clients And it's gonna be bigger services or I have a new client And I don't know how they feel about dogs or if they're allergic Then I will leave him home if I can and he's been pretty good about it Like he wants to come with me of course, but he understands like if I tell him okay You need to stay home. He knows he stays with the door. He lets me go, but today I don't know he was like extra clingy so cute But yeah in the chaos. I totally forgot didn't have a chance to put up the car mount. So I'm just holding this camera here and it is Really making my shoulder tired. So yeah, today I have two clients one of them I Did her hair already before like back in the winter time So I think we're just bringing her blonde up and then my second client is booked for a face-frame balayage, but she's new so We'll see what her hair looks like and what she wants to do, but I'll see you at the salon Oh and today I will last night I was like I'm gonna wake up early before work wash my hair blow it out You know look all nice and put together feel my best I got some new makeup products yesterday that I wanted to try out today and Yeah, I just kept hitting news on my alarm I've been staying up late watching movies lately like the other night I stayed up and I watched the new Conjuring movie Last night we stayed up and watched the Lizzie McGuire movie and then camp rock totally opposite direction So I need to go to bed early tonight so that I won't feel so tired in the mornings But I just wanted to mention that because I know that I see other women Mainly on social media that like always looks so put together. They always have their hair done They always have like full glam makeup. I just can't relate to that like I would love to be that But I'm not I never have been sometimes you just don't have the energy for that You know and that's fine. It will be okay So like I said, I had did this client's hair one time Prior a few months ago and at this point as you can see it was starting to grow out a little bit I mean, it still looked good With my low maintenance blondes I try to make my application in such a way that as their hair grows out It still looks really seamless and really pretty and then I always tell them It's totally up to them how frequently they want to come in for touch-ups Some of my low maintenance clients I'll only see like one or two times a year and then some of them I'll see every few months Normally what I suggest if they don't like to have a lot of root Is that they come in every three months or so to just do a partial foil So that's what I'm doing here and when I do a partial Typically I just like to do around the hairline and then a few foils up top So I just want to brighten up mainly where they're going to see it the most And then just a few times a year will do a full foil and bring the blonde up all over With this client in particular I did a few more foils than what I normally would do in a typical partial application just because her hair is So thick just so much hair And I felt like she had a lot of depth So I wanted to just brighten it up a little bit more Just to make Honestly the work easier for me in the future the next time she comes in for a touch-up So I started around her hairline in the front and then I added a few foils throughout the front sections And then you'll see I end up doing just a few in the back up top in the crown area And you can see I'm taking very fine sections Just doing little baby lights so that everything is really soft and blended And I wanted to talk about pricing for a service like this because I get questions Like how do you know what's the difference between a partial foil or a half foil? How many foils do you do? How much product do you use? What do you charge? So like I said typically with a partial application I do a little bit less than what I ended up doing on this client But if you end up needing to do more just charge for the extra product and time that you had to use Every client's hair is different. I don't like to just follow A specific roadmap and do the exact same placement and application on every single client I like to really customize it based on their hair their hairline their hair density the texture Etc And every stylist is different every salon is different But for me personally I don't go based off the amount of foils that I'm doing Because that's really gonna vary right depending on how thick the client's hair is If I do 10 foils on someone with really thin fine hair It's gonna look like a lot more than someone on really thick hair So like I said, I just go based off of their hair and then I just charge accordingly based on how much product we need to use So this was her finished hair. It came out so beautiful and if you can believe it I did not end up doing any kind of root smudge or root shadow or anything like that The baby lights were just Placed in such a way where I didn't need to do that. I just did an all-over toner And that was it. You can see how nice and soft and natural everything looks So then my second client of the day was new and she was a rooted blonde But as you can see her roots were looking a little harsh She had a few like Harsh lines in her hair So she wanted to just add a few baby lights do like a partial highlight Just to make their grout a little bit more seamless Give it a little bit more of a blend. So I did a pretty similar application to what I did on my first client Probably used less foils because her hair isn't as thick And this was the final result of her hair I'm balancing my camera On a hairspray bottle. It's a little risky, but I just got finished For the day. I'm the only one here now so I'm just cleaning up but Went really well. I ended up doing very similar services On both of my clients. But yeah, both appointments went really well. The timing was perfect I love when that happens. My first client I literally was outside taking pictures of her hair When my second client was like walking up. So Worked out perfectly. Um, they both were super nice. Everything went smoothly It's a good day so far. So yeah, I'm just gonna get everything cleaned up Lock up and head home so precious Made two babies I literally just got home. I just wanted to share like As a hairstylist nowadays, especially with social media and everything It's like even though I'm home now and I'm like technically done with work for the day But also I'm not yet because I now have to post on my instagram I took a bunch of videos and photos of my clients today I'll sometimes even just stay at the salon a little bit longer And do this before I leave or if not, I just do it as soon as I get home When I'm in work mode, I want to just get everything I need done first So then that way I can like change it to comfy clothes relax get comfortable But yeah, I got a lot of content lots of videos and pictures of my clients What I've been doing lately is I use the camera that I'm recording on right now To take my after pictures because I just I have the iphone 8 plus and I used to take my after pictures on this But I just don't feel like it picks up the color as well and the quality just doesn't look as good And it just looks a little like dingy. I don't know I can connect my camera like through the wi-fi to my phone So I sent all the pictures and everything to my phone And I always like to take a million pictures from a bunch of different angles of my clients because you just never know like It's always better to have More than you need than not enough. So I usually end up with a bunch of pictures that look exactly the same But I just go through them and then I decide which ones are my favorites And then I will Favorite them so that way it's like easier for me to keep track and then ones that I don't like Maybe it like came out kind of blurry or the hair is not sitting right. I know I'm probably Not going to use it then I'll just delete it. So it's not taking up space on my phone So yeah, I'm going to sit here and edit these I don't like to do like any crazy editing because obviously like I'm not trying to be deceiving at all But sometimes I do like to just brighten them a tiny bit not always but you know depending sometimes like the camera Picks up the light a little bit weird and I'm probably going to make Some reels too and just save them So that way It'll save me time later on same with captions for my posts too. Like I try sometimes I'll just post like bright and blended but Usually I try to have like a informative Caption that's like actually engaging, you know So usually like if I have something in mind ahead of time that I know I want to like talk about then I'm like Okay, let me get a picture that will correspond with that well And then I'll like type my caption out in a note on my phone And then save it so then that way when I'm ready to post it I can just copy and paste and it just saves me time With creating all this crap because let me tell you like just doing instagram Alone can be a full-time job and that's not even like taking into consideration All of the other social media apps that we have. So yeah, I'm going to be sitting here for probably at least like the next Hour or so doing this and then when I'm done, I will finally just enjoy my night Have dinner all that good stuff When they tell you pets are kind of like having children It's no freaking lie. Like I literally can't even go to the bathroom And have privacy. They will follow me and try to bust the door down to get in here with me Ah Benny's laying on the bed though because the students. He heard me turn on the shower. He was like, nope. I'm out I wanted to just share with you guys my little like post shower Routine or like what I use pretty simple But I have noticed that like my skin just feels so super soft and nice all the time since I've been doing this So I just got the palmers coconut oil Body lotion and then I started and like the lotion is whatever like I changed it up sometimes, but I started getting the moisturizing body oil and the stuff Is amazing. I actually was using this when I was on vacation because I got a little bit of sunburn on my shoulders It's good good stuff and your body like actually fully absorbs it So you don't like feel sticky and gross, you know, like it dries down pretty quickly So I just do the lotion all over and then a light layer of the oil over that And then I've been trying to wear spf on a regular basis all the time like even if I'm not leaving the house Just always just to be on the safe side. So I've been using this cita fill spf 35 Moisturizer and it's really good. I'm almost done with this bottle and I haven't had any problems with it. It's very light weight Doesn't leave like a white cast or anything. It blends in really well and it hasn't broken me out Oh and also another little update since we're talking about shower stuff We did get a filter for the shower head if you guys saw my vlog I think it was like two videos back two or three something like that I did a whole video where I was like doing my hair and I did a clarifying treatment I was talking about how we have hard water at this house and It's been wreaking havoc on my hair. So I wanted to get a filter. Most people were like, oh just look on amazon They have so many ones that are like, you know, pretty affordable So I just went on there and I just looked for one that had some of the best reviews I'll put a link to the specific one in the description if you're interested I believe it's an 18 layer most of them said they were 15 layer, but this one was 18. So I was like, oh Maybe that's a little better. Let me try that. It was only around 20 dollars I was a little skeptical of how well it actually would work But I figured for 20 bucks, you know, if it doesn't really make much of a difference It's not the end of the world It's only the second time now that I've washed my hair with it But I honestly noticed a difference even after the first time I washed it It just I don't know how to describe it like the actual feeling of the water itself feels different And it doesn't smell the hard water Had like a mineral smell to it and especially when it would touch my hair It just smells really gross and when I would get out of the shower my hair was still wet I could smell it very very strongly And that was all I could smell I could not smell my shampoo or any of my products at all It was just like the smell of the minerals so far. I think that it's making a pretty good difference I believe it's supposed to last for up to like six months or so I'll continue to keep you guys updated on that but I'm gonna go put it on my lotion and everything get dressed and I'll see you downstairs for coffee I needed the big cup today But I wanted to do a little bit of makeup today because I did get a few new things I haven't bought makeup in a while And I just haven't been really wearing it much and I haven't been excited to wear it or wanting to so I don't know like Having new things to try is like making me excited again So i'm just going to do something a little bit light my usual natural like, you know nothing crazy, but I also Want to film a video today Trying to decide if I'll have time to do it before work or if I have to wait till after but whatever Either way So yeah, I got the elf flawless satin foundation and then I also got the elf What is this camo concealer the hydrating camo concealer? And then I was at Ulta and I got the essence pretty natural hydrating foundation. I saw Taylor win. I'm obsessed with her videos lately. I don't know just something about the way she talks is like very calming to me But she was talking about this one and saying that this was like one of the best foundations for summer It's transfer proof It has a really beautiful finish good coverage blah blah blah. So I was like That sounds good. Let me go get that and it was only like six bucks. If that's super inexpensive This one I had to guess as far as the shade goes to because they Again didn't have any testers out, but I think it looks okay It's in the shade 90 neutral suede It literally doesn't feel like I have anything on my face That's what I like. I'm gonna just put a little bit more Over the areas where I have a little bit of dark spots Just to see if I can get a little bit More coverage because that was just kind of a light Layer that I did Let's go over by the window. You can still see a little bit peeking through but I feel like it gave pretty decent coverage while still Looking pretty natural And I feel like that color match actually is really good. I'm very impressed with this so far We'll see how it wears throughout the day and if it like oxidizes or anything now. Let's try out the concealer i'm gonna Do it people now have been like Doing their concealer like this like in an upward Whereas like back in the day would like drag it all the way down Remember like the upside down triangle. Wow this concealer like a little bit goes a really long way I feel like oh, I don't like how my under eyes look at all. Maybe I should blend it out with a beauty blender instead What's up? It's going on. Okay. I like it a lot better It blends it out with a beauty blender instead of a brush the brush was making it just like get patchy and look Like really dry and crusty. I did not like that. So I don't know I need to play around with it a little bit more before I can really say if I like it or not Let me Set it with some translucent powder because I can already tell That if I don't set it it's going to be A freaking mess I do not like that concealer at all like look how dry and crusty that looks and it's just like clinging To every little teeny fine line Like from a distance, I guess it doesn't look bad, but nope do not like that One bit if you like this concealer And you do something differently than what I'm doing and you find that that works better for you Comment down below. Let me know like what am I doing wrong? Or does this just not work well with my skin? But whatever I'm going to leave this because I already have it on and I don't want to like Waste time wiping it all off and starting over. So we're just going to leave it be um And who knows maybe throughout the day, it'll start to look a little bit better Then I'm gonna do a little bit of the nyx matte bronzer And then this is just like a nyx nyx ombre blush Which is super old. I don't even know If they still make the use to be honest Just been putting everything in like that upward kind of Direction So it just like Makes your face look a little bit more lifted and youthful and then I like to put a little bit on my nose too and then I haven't been like Filling my brows in completely. I just take a little bit of brow pencil And I literally just draw A line underneath them and then if there's any like crazy gaps like this brow has Isn't as full as the other one it has Definitely more noticeable gaps. So I'll just kind of fill them in a little bit But I like to keep them as natural as possible. I haven't been like Fully shaping them out and all that like I used to and like really brush it out So there's no like visible Pencil lines And then this part is totally optional I know some people Love the really bushy spiky brows and then some people hate them. I really like them right now So I've been using the got to be spiking glue styling spiking glue. It's a hair gel, but It Is strong It holds these babies into place All day long every like regular brow gel that I've tried They like look good at the beginning, but then A few minutes later they start falling down and it gives them that like look as though they were laminated And it dries down clear, which is nice. So you don't have to worry about having like a weird white cast on them or anything I'm gonna do a little bit of highlight too. This is the essence pure nude highlighter It just adds a glow like no shimmer. No glitter. No like beaming highlight Just a really pretty like you could honestly even set your entire face with this if you wanted to For like an all over kind of glow and then for my lips. I'm using the charlotte tilbury pillow talk lip liner So I line and fill in my lips with that and then I'll just take like a clear gloss in the center There we go. There is my Finished makeup for the day, but yeah, even though I tried some new products today Like the steps are basically the same that I've always done like for years now. I've just been liking a more natural Simple kind of look. So I'm gonna blow out and style my hair and get dressed and see what time is it? I should have enough time to Film before I have to leave for work So I'm gonna do that and then I'll bring you guys to the salon I just have one client tonight, which is nice and I had did her hair a few months ago We're just touching it up bringing her balayage up a little bit higher But I'll bring you along for that and then I will update you throughout the Rest of the day and let you know how the new makeup products are holding up my video It went well. I just imported the footage onto my computer and was looking through it and everything looks pretty good So I'm probably gonna edit that either later today Or sometime tomorrow, but I'm about to leave to go to the salon I just wanted to show you my outfit real quick. So I just have this button up Men's shirt I think it's from bass. I don't even remember just unbuttoned it a little bit layered some necklaces From vibe season. I have these high-waisted Levi's shorts And sandals from target I need some iced tea. So I'm just gonna bring some of this with me This is the kind of tea that it is Tulsi sweet rose My therapist actually recommended this to me. Um, it's supposed to like help Balance your mood and your like energy aids and stress relief and uplifts mood supports immune system And supports the natural detoxification process. So she said it's good Um, that I should just like drink it and use it like medicinally drink it every day And it should help Balance me out if I'm feeling super anxious It'll kind of mellow me out if I'm feeling like really depressed and low energy It should like bring me up a little more So I don't know. I've only been drinking it for the last couple of days And I don't know if I notice a difference But it's probably too early to say but it does taste pretty good So she suggested brewing it letting it sit for like 15 20 minutes and then sending it in the fridge and Drinking it ice. I just add a little tiny bit of This agave syrup to it Just to sweeten it a tiny bit And it's been really good. And if nothing else it's a good way for me to like Get in more water throughout the day. Anyway, I'm gonna bring this with me and Go to the salon now. Hello I didn't end up vlogging much of anything at the salon. I'm sorry. Um, so my client she Well, I got a little bit of stuff. So this is her before picture. I did a balayage on her I don't even remember when she originally had came in But it was a while ago and it was grown out and she was just coming in to get it touched up Brought up higher and refreshed the ends and as soon as I saw her hair Because she came in with it in a ponytail and as soon as I took it out It just like hit me like the smell and it's exactly what I was talking about earlier with hard water You can just tell like if you look at the before picture It just looks really dingy almost has like a green tint to it and it had like that mineral smell So I just knew immediately like you have hard water We need to get all that build up out of there because I mean a it just is like it totally changes your hair It makes it feel so much lighter less weighed down healthier cleaner But it also will help the hair take to color better So it'll light in more easily because you don't have like that barrier of build up in there And also you want to be careful Because when someone anytime somebody has any kind of minerals or any chemicals in their hair You never want to take the risk of it having some kind of chemical reaction with the bleach that you're going to be putting on them So we did a malibu Crystal gel treatment on her. That's the exact same treatment that I did on my own hair a few weeks back And this is what it pulled out of her hair Crazy and I love this because I love when I can show clients like look at what this did Like I can tell you a million times. Oh, you should do this for your hair It's gonna be really beneficial do this and that and whatever but for you to actually be able to physically see Oh my god, all of that stuff was in my hair and now you just pulled it out like You can't argue with that, you know, so We did that first then I just kind of rough dried her a little bit And then I baliaged her not all over but just like around her hairline and a couple pieces just up top She ended up being in a little bit of a rush because you know, she wasn't planning on having to do the treatment and everything That added on some time. So she asked if she could leave with her hair wet So I didn't get any after pictures or anything the days like yesterday both my clients hair came out beautiful I was super happy super proud and I just felt really accomplished and good. But today I'm like I don't know because I didn't get to see her hair dry The freaking color we use red congee dq in that damn color when it's wet looks so Dark and intense. So it's really hard for me to tell but I told her I was like, please like Once you see it dry. If anything isn't looking right, let me know come back in And we'll fix it up and re-tone you if we need to Especially because sometimes when you do a clarifying treatment, then the hair is just like It wants to suck everything up because you pulled everything out And so it can sometimes kind of take the toner a little bit too much. So I don't know It's hard to tell but she like really insisted. So I was like, okay, hopefully it came out. Okay, and if not Hopefully she'll come back and let me just fix it up a little bit Oh, but makeup update I haven't even really looked at myself in the mirror I feel like the foundation held up really really well. I haven't Repoutered or blotted or anything at all and it's pretty hot out today. So I don't look super oily at all. I really like there's like a little bit of a glow but I think it looks really pretty and really natural The under eyes are looking a little creepy and dry, but I don't think that it necessarily looks any Worse or too different from how it looked when I first applied it So maybe I just need to figure out a better way to apply it or just like Hydrate my under eyes a little bit better beforehand. So yeah, this is what it was again essence pretty natural I'll put a link in the description to it, but I just got some packages in the mail So I thought why don't I show you what I got? So first I got some stuff from h&m Um, they had sent me I think they were having a sale and then I also had a coupon. So I was like Let me get some stuff. So I saw this oversized UCLA sweatshirt and I just love this kind of stuff I love like in the summertime just wearing a big baggy sweatshirt with like some bike shorts underneath on the days When it's like a little cooler or even just around the house. I got it in a large so that it would be like Really big and almost fit kind of like a dress these kinds of shirts have been like really popular like the big boxy sleeveless shirts So they had this one. It was like super cheap I want to say it was like 10 bucks or something and I just think this is so cute because even though It's just a plain white t-shirt, but it has like a different kind of shape So it makes it a little more interesting and I thought this would be so cute with just some jean shorts like i'm wearing today or jeans and then I Saw this and I needed to have it It's just like a long sleeveless button up And I thought that this would be so cute. I'm so damn short that this Let me zoom me back out again actually I'm so short that this literally fits like a dress So i'll probably wear some bike shorts underneath just to be on the safe side, but I thought that this Was a really cute basic and it just really gives me 90s vibes Which is my thing lately and then the last thing from h&m Is an oversized t-shirt This is like my go-to outfit an oversized t-shirt or like a t-shirt dress With bike shorts in the summertime. It's just so fast and easy and comfortable But yet still kind of cute. I just really liked this color a lot because I don't think I have anything in this color But again really big and oversized. I think I also got this yet in a large so that it would be a little baggy And then bath and body works is having I don't know if it's still going on but They were having their semi-annual sale So all of their foaming hand soaps were three dollars and we needed more So I was like, you know what let me just stock up for like the whole year and take advantage of the sale Oh, and then I also had a ten dollars off of 40 coupon in addition to the sale So all of this stuff. I think I spent 40 bucks on everything in this box, which is crazy I got cotton and frizia coconut colada endless weekend vanilla coconut cucumber melon pineapple mango lakeside afternoon sunny blue skies sunwashed citrus coastal air sunshine and lemons and then oh, I got a body wash rose and lavender It's the sleep aroma therapy Oh, that smells really good. I love these soaps because they always come in such fun sense And then the smell really lasts on your hands and like the packaging is always really cute And I always get excited when it's time to Put out a new soap because I'm like, oh, which one do I want to do you guys like that too But I think I'm gonna end this vlog here anything that I talked about and mentioned I will try to link down in the description and I'll see you in my next video Bye
