 No What the hell oh My god, I look like a crazy person right now So I don't know if you can tell a difference in the quality I'm using my old camera right now, which also has issues of its own and is old and a little janky But I was using the Sony Z Z something I don't know like that really popular like vlogging camera that everybody uses Recently it just like wasn't working as well It's just been like giving me like internal issues and then this morning I turned it on to start vlogging and I was like this is so weird. It's like not focusing right and Then my klutzy ass just dropped it and now the lens is like completely wonky and broken And it won't like go back in because it's like literally It's broken. It's like not even sticking out straight So I have work. Oh it should go. I have work In about 15 minutes and luckily I got ready really fast. So I had time to run down to my apartment And grab one of my old cameras but this one The quality isn't as good and it has its own issues because it's just really really old. I got this camera Back in 2015 Now I'm like, what do I do? Do I try to see if I can go and get that one fixed? I don't know What can be done or how much it would cost or how long it would take so like should I order another camera in the meantime as a backup And if I do Order another one. Do I want to get the same one that I had? Or do I want to do my research and find a different one because I had some issues With that camera, but in the meantime this old camera should work. Hopefully Um, I'm gonna run in and get a coffee. I ordered Starbucks On the app because I don't really have time to like go in and wait anywhere So hopefully it should be ready And then I'm gonna run to work really quick Just got to the salon. I'm the only one here so far My client should be here any minute. I'm just going to rip a couple foils And get my station ready for when she gets here So this client is one of my regulars and she was just in today For a touch up as you can see her blonde was quite grown out So I ended up doing a full head of foils on her and I just did a combination of teased weaves and baby lights Keeping all of my foils super thin so that I could get as much lift as possible I left her to process under low heat for about 30 minutes or so And then when it was time to tone her I did five na as my shadow root Because she likes her blonde to come up really really high I do like to do just like a little bit of a root smudge to make the grow out as smooth as possible And then I did 8n 90 and 9v For the toner all over and this was her final hair Just got done with my client. I only had um one person today Wednesdays and Saturdays usually are my shorter days So depending on what I'm doing. I normally only do like one or two people On those days our receptionist just helped me I don't know if you can see everything behind me um so I used to do lashes at the salon and Sorry if the air conditioning is loud. I just I need to blast it right now My car says it's 75 degrees too. So that doesn't help but um Yeah, I used to do lashes and I had a whole bunch of furniture in my lash room upstairs and since we had shut down Last spring I stopped doing lashes and I don't plan On doing them again at least not any time in the foreseeable future So since I'm moving into a new house. I just needed more storage So I had a cabinet upstairs in the last room that I wanted to bring down to bring to the new house to put in our bathroom um, but it was a little bit like big and awkward to carry so Um, our receptionist just helped me carry it downstairs and load it into the car And it was like kind of hard to maneuver and fit it in here because I also have a chair back here too So yeah, I'm sweaty from that but I um, I'm about to Go get my lash extensions removed I'm getting lasik eye surgery in two weeks and they told me it was probably best to just get the extensions removed Because they're going to have to like tape my eyes open during the procedure and the tape might rip the extensions off Which just sounds really painful. So I'm just getting them removed for now and then after I get my lasik. I'm gonna definitely get them put back on But that's what I'm gonna go do right now. Say goodbye. They're looking a little sad anyway They really needed to be filled at this point anyway But uh say goodbye to these extensions So sad so naked That was a nice quick appointment though. I was in and out in 15 minutes And you know, whatever it'll all be worth it. I'm so excited to get lasik And it's nice every so often to give your lashes a little bit of a break But you can see They are not damaged at all whatsoever Like I got all my lashes They're nice and long and healthy because I know that's a super common question Like do lash extensions damage your real lashes and they absolutely can if they are not done properly Um, if you get extensions that are too heavy or too long for your natural lashes If they're not isolated and glued on properly If you're not taking care of them at home Like if you're picking at them and ripping them out all of that stuff can definitely cause damage to them But um The ones that I get are pretty soft and natural and not too long and the girl that I go to is amazing So I never have an issue with mine Please tell me I have a hair tie or a clip or something My hair's driving me nuts I literally just used a mask To tie up my hair Cute Here's my sad broken camera You see how the lens is Crooked so it is later in the evening. I'm back home now But let me show you the cabinet that I brought from the salon So this is it here this actually I had ordered it online from walmart a couple years ago and it's Abled as a shoe rack But I mean you could just use it for any kind of storage and I just like how simple it is it has the three shelves Inside and then it has one drawer up top So I think I'm going to put extra towels and bath mats and stuff In here and then more products can go up in this top shelf So anyway, I'm just going to make myself A cup of tea that's been my new nighttime routine The last few nights. I've been having this Gemini lemon ginger and it's super good because it's got like a little bit of a kick From the ginger. I love it. So yeah, I'm just going to make that and then wash my face and just go to sleep I will see you guys in the morning. I really like my outfit today. So let me show you guys What I'm wearing. I have this dress from zara that I got last summer flannel is from Bass I think it's a men's flannel and then I have some adidas sneakers and I just have like some more high rise socks that I just pulled up a little bit And these glasses by the way are from firmoo. They have prescription obviously I got them last year, but if I can find them, I will link them in the description for you guys They're super cute I have two clients today. The first one is a balayage touch up with a haircut and then the second one is a new client Um, and I think we're just making her A lot brighter really blonde. I will see you at the salon This client is another one of my regulars and we've been doing just like a really natural sun-kissed balayage on her since last summer And today she was in for a touch-up and a haircut So I brought all of the brightness up and then we decided to also just brighten her up all over So I just did a full head Balayage application with clay lightener just freehand painting and then I did a really cute textured lob haircut And I really love how her hair turned out and there's benny and his sister every time I'm taking her pictures They always have to watch me from the window and my second client of the night was a new client She had reached out to me and told me how about a year ago She got highlights and she didn't love the look of it and it also left her hair extremely damaged like She had so much breakage in the front of her hair her hair literally just like broke off From the previous highlights So the goal was to make her as bright and blonde as possible while still maintaining the integrity and health of her hair So I did a full head of foils a combination of tz lights and baby lights And I only used 10 volume on her and I did not process her under any heat The magic of just doing really tiny thin foils Good morning I slept so terribly last night And I had such a hard time getting up this morning. Oh My lens was like not completely open. My new camera is supposed to be arriving Tomorrow, I'm really excited I hope that I like it. It's The most expensive camera That I've purchased to date So Hopefully it's worth the price I'll show you guys which one I got when it arrives tomorrow In case you're interested I know some of you guys also make online content and I get asked What do I use for filming and editing and that kind of stuff? So I'll show you Oh, and I also got a new car mount to go with it I got a new lens for it And I have some microphones that I had ordered A few weeks back that I have yet to open up So I'm excited all this new technology coming and hopefully it will help improve the quality of my videos I am just making a quick stop at Duncan before I go to the salon because I haven't eaten anything yet and I know that I'm gonna need some coffee And a little something to eat. So I'm just gonna have breakfast sandwich and I don't know what coffee I'm gonna get yet. I honestly hate Duncan coffee Like it's just not strong enough for me, but Maybe I'll do like a iced latte Or something Hi, could I please have a turkey sausage egg and cheese on a toasted english muffin? Okay, and then can I also get a small iced latte with an extra shot of espresso Okay, um, and can I add um Just like two shots of caramel to that All right, and that's it Okay, thank you I just pulled that order out of my ass. So we'll see how I like it I don't really go to Duncan that often. So it's like every time I come here. I just like order Different random things and then I always when I'm in the drive through I like Get nervous being put on the spot I had to this client's hair back in august and at this point as you can see it was very grown out So she was just ready to bring the brightness up and just refresh it She wanted her ends to be more solid and then just have a really nice soft blend throughout So I did a full head of foils And I only left out her ends that were already lightened, but everything else I went over I just did a combination of teasy lights Teased slices teased weaves and I can't remember exactly what I used for her toner, but I want to say I did maybe 7v with a little bit of 8n and 8na No shadow root or anything like that. And this was her final hair. I I'm obsessed. I think this was well I liked all the hair that I did this week with this. This is definitely like My top three. Oh, and I did have a few haircut clients after this But I didn't end up getting any footage of that Happy Saturday. I cannot wait for my car mount to get here. So I don't have to Hold my camera anymore. So I'm on my way to the salon. I have two clients today They should both be pretty quick and easy They're both regulars of mine and neither one of them have like a crazy amount of hair And they both are going darker I will see you at the salon and my battery is running low. So I don't know how much footage I can actually get But uh, yeah So my first clients I didn't get any actual footage But this is her before picture as you can see she had a grown-up balayage And she was just wanting to tone it down and just bring her natural color throughout the ends a little bit more But still keep to mention So I just tried to match up her natural color and just drag that through And then I toned down the lighter pieces that I left out And then my second client She was just ready to go Super super dark. She was showing me pictures of hair that was like practically black. So I mixed 3n with 4n And as much as I love doing blonde It's nice every so often to just change it up a little bit and do some dark color too Today's monday my new camera finally arrived What do you think of this quality difference like how crazy? Whoa, hey, hey chill out I'm curious to see like once I import this onto my computer How different it looks but just from what I'm seeing in the viewfinder I love it.
