lol nope! I sent you my braider and good friend. If you start at 9am, you’ll be done by 3pm MAX! She’s fast, provides snacks and drinks plus educates you on proper hair care. Also you don’t have to bring hair, she provides it.

I love that you are a follower of Christ, wife, homeowner and award winning influencer. You have so much to be grateful for, and I’m glad young ladies can watch and be inspired by you! Ref the braider, maybe text her “constructive criticism” or leave a review that includes the suggestions (while remembering that a soft answer turns away wrath). 🙏🏽

1. Go ahead and give that Braider that feedback. These people need to know so that they can work on their customer service. 2. Love your backyard plans! Can’t wait to see the end results!

I really think you should provide the Braider feedback. So often we have bad experiences and don’t say anything. People can only get better with the information. If no one says something it passes as acceptable. It can be hard to find the words and it may be hard to receive on the other end but it’s necessary

Yes definitely let the braider know!!! She maybe young but this is a teachable moment in business. Also loveeee the couch but I do think it should be facing the opposite direction, but love it! And it looks sooooo comfy. Yes I noticed the ads are longer, but they are actually more personalized at least to me sephora, luxury perfume so I dont hate im forced to watch it them

10 hours for boho individuals is unheard of. I love the couch but I agree it’s too big. I can’t wait to see your finished backyard 😊

No but really, your hair is fire. I think the braider is like that because no one has ever challenged her. If it were me, I would definitely text her suggestions on how to be more professional. Because we as a people can actually learn a lot from each other if we just accept constructive criticism. White people do not mind doing it to each other because they know at the end of the day it’s going to make their businesses better. 🤷🏾‍♀️ so think of it that way. As long as your motive and heart posture is right in your feedback, you should. Hey, it’s better than leaving it in a review 💅🏾 🤷🏾‍♀️

Switch the couch on the longer wall until you replace it, so it's not blocking anything

I love-love your vlogs! I feel like I'm catching up with my favorite cousin! #SoRelatable 😊

The living room looks tewww good, love seeing how you are turning your house in your home❤🎉.

Jess you my best friend in my heart girl! Laughs and Bible talks would be fire! 🔥 Merry Christmas from my family to yours! Blessings!

Love your hair, Sis. I think the couch could work if you just move the whole thing to the wall which will clear the balcony doors.

Love the revised braids. You gave them life! As a viewer, vlogmas can be overwhelming and then everything kinda goes quiet in January. So if I can’t watch in December, the boredom of the KZfaq streets in January will have me watching.

Hey Jess! Would it make sense to move the couch part on the long wall and have the chaise on the right side (opposite of patio door) like you had it when you first unboxed? So essentially the sofa is facing the kitchen and not the tv, but it seems like it might fit your space better. Maybe even add the ottoman to the left side of the couch to create a u- shaped sectional look. That way you’d have access to your entire patio door? 22:25

To get rid of the edge control residue, smooth it out with a wet, warm towel. Then seal it with the oil again. I think the couch will look so cute on the long walk and still allows your living room to look open.

Jesssss you gave those braids life 👏🏽 👏🏽 yessssss that's the drama/fullness boho braids are supposed to have. I thought I liked them before but now they are really 🔥

Enjoyed this vlog so much!! Thank yuh sis❤

Jess has the prettiest smile 😊. I love the dimples. I always wanted those for myself..

The couch is beautiful and allows you to grow with it; perhaps your next home will be an ideal space for the furniture. Suggestion: purchase clear and backless barstools to seamlessly fit under the counter top.

Jess you are literally so hilarious. I be laughing the whole vlog 😭

Hey Jess! Love the vlogs! As for the couch, I was thinking putting the chair along the wall and pushing it towards the where it was but the chaise on the right side so then its facing the kitchen.

Ok now after seeing the whole room I get it! I see what you’re doing.

It’s like, I get so excited when I see a new video lmaoo😂😂😂❤️ everything is lovely

I know your pain. I went to a braider for a total of 3 times. She was about 15 to 20 minutes late two of those three times. Its crazy how they want to charge or cancel you if you are late but they do not give you a discount if they are late! These braiders are so disrespectful. Not to mention, after paying money and waiting on her, I had to go home and braid the hair all the way down, re dip it and fix whatever needed fixing. After my last hair appontment, I have not returned!! But your hair turned out great!!💛

That couch looks so comfy, I love it! Also def give sis the feedback because even though you picked the curly hair she could have put more in. I love how it came out when you fixed it up though !

Never clicked so fast after jumpin’ on YT after a long day of outing activities 😊 Love catching up with ya Jess! ❤

The moment I seen the thumbnail ❤ cmon braids that was a good decision sis, so pretty!

Yesss Jess you right on time with the vlog

You can move the couch a few feet forward and place console table behind the couch and place plants along the patio door space 🤔

I think the couch would look better on the walls. This way you and your guest can look out at your beautiful backyard..🥰

YT NIECEYYYY! You just KNEW it was wash day and I needed some content to get me thru. Lol Ok, let me watch. Always good to see you.

It’s your Jamaican accent popping in and out for me! Beautiful coach a little tight but beautiful ☺️👋🏾

Jess so so,am dying with the wispering,and i feel you on'am doing my own hair as from now',and mind you am here watching you,with thousands of stuff to do,yet i dn't care,and when i say thousands,its really thousand,lol,anyways i need this break and with you,am all for it

Jess I love the couch, switch up your room orientation, put the back of the couch towards the kitchen and put your TV on the wall and add a chair or lounge in that space to the left...just a suggestion 😊

Jess! You're not lying about that hair style! I recently got the BoHo twist. For my birthday, Dec 15th. The curly part is a lot of maintenance. I will not get this style again. I will stick to regular twists and knotless braids. I love your house ❤ Happy holidays.

Hi Jess! Hopefully this makes sense, but have you ever considered switching your living room and dining room? Like move the TV and couch and stuff to the other side of the kitchen and then move the dining table to the island side of your kitchen?

Braids are 🔥🔥🔥🔥! Back to the video ..... Update: I have the same issue with the edge control, immediately white and build-up that same week. I end up taking my braids out earlier because theres so much build-up. Your lucky your a hair guru and know how to fix it yourself lol.

It's terrible you had to fix it but it looks so much better. You go girl!!

Hey Jess! UK 🇬🇧supporter here! Love your content 🫶🏾I agree the Ads be soooo annoying! Don’t tell anybody lol.. but the trick is with the ads, press the 🔼 button on your remote select the ℹ️ icon (About this ad) click stop seeing this ad then the option “return to video”; that will skip ALLLLL that. No need to wait to skip or anything. I have noticed however if you do it too many times like 30-50 at a go you won’t have the same option for the next 10 ads but it’s well worth it!

I like the couch set up, you could put the bin on the other side, and people can just walk the long way round, but it definitely gives you more space in your living room x

Yass! A video from my fav to have my meal with 😌😌

Thank you Jess for this vlog I enjoyed watching 🥰🥰🥰🥰 your new couch is beautiful

The way you said “boneless boho braids” had me weeeeeaaaakkkkkk!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Girl I stopped paying others to braid my hair because now a days its too much chile. KZfaq is a great university. Definitely give her the feedback so she can improve because that was way too long!

Jess I know I am late watching as I have been so busy, you know what this time of the year brings. So my opinion on the couch is placing the back along the wall and place the chaise on the side away from the sliding doors. Don't know if it's left or right as you know with the camera your right and left is different through the lens. The chaise may be sticking out in the middle of the room....not sure how much space you have there. I have a similar chair and placing the chaise is a "situation", Lol.

Spray your hair with warm water. That will take care of the white cast from the edge control. It helped tremendously on my daughter's hair. Love your vlogs!🥰

Hi Jess!!! Happy Holiday ma’am!

Love the hair! And when it comes to the couch you should put it just how you set it up but against the long wall if you'd like if you do not want it to cover the sliding doors.

Jess the added hair came out so bomb !!! Yes ma'am I was going to suggest using synthetic hair but my previous comment was already too long so I left it out. Its definitely giving "the drama" now jess

Love your channel and the wig scene in your last vlog!!!

Hey Jess, girl I wouldn't go tell the braider anything because she has probably been told before.. Send a clearer message by not booking her or sending anyone her way, I guarantee she'll get the point when you and people get tired and them pockets get salty!!😂 After all that the braids are 🔥💯

11:28 JESS DO NOT TEXT THAT GIRL!!! I have a feeling your suggestions will NOT be received well. Just leave it be, you vented to us and I TOOOOOTALLY agree!! 🙌🏽 I have many of the same complaints about my braider. But then months go by and I want those fire braids again and all is forgotten/forgiven till next time 😂😂😂😂

I will say, My Sister has always been the type to tell the hair stylist no, not to take a break. I've even seen her stay on the chair until she gets her hair fixed, if it's not to her liking. Whereas I am more of a DIY girl, I rather just do it myself because I know how I want it and if it doest come out right, I can't be mad at anyone, I just learn a new skill. I've had too many hairstyles not come out right, I'd rather save the money, because it never actually works when I try to save time.

Love the vlog. The braider mmmm I'll probably keep my feedback to myself. She might get mad and lash out. Now the couch is so cute with the rug. I would put the couch along the wall until you get the left side piece. Instead of curtains, sliding vertical blinds would be nice. I'm glad you finally got sunlight in your living area. I lived in a place that had no sunlight in the living room and kitchen. I was so depressed the whole time living there. Now my place has so much sunlight and I'm so happy now. Lesson learned.

Only Jess really talks to herself in stores and aint care😂❤ love it

I have been following you for so long and you are SO DOPE!!! Love your story, your content, your energy, I’m not even an avid KZfaq watcher but you are a real internet sis!! That being said, I have been thinking of one thing- I feel like your kitchen is in your living room and your living room is in your kitchen!! That’s probably why you feel like you can’t get good use of those two rooms or get the furniture the way you want to. I’m no interior decorator or anything but I just wonder what might happen if you put your dining room in your kitchen space and make better use of all that space on the other side by making in a true living room?!!!!! Best best best and happy holidays! You are awesome. You are truly doing it for the he girls out here ❤️ ❤️

I love your vlogs. The braids are dope❤ I can relate to your experience. The raiders forget about their customers SMH. Like hey I am here for the braids not your ignoring my hair

Yeah there has been nothing but horror stories about stylist now adays makes you not want to pay them to do it.. I love the couch it looks comfy!! I hope you had a very good Christmas and wonderul New year!! ❤

I should be sleeping.... but Jess just posted 💛 hey girl hey!

I love the at home store!!

Jess, you whispering in the suite is so funny.

Ross has great art pieces that are EASY on the pocket, and there is always a big selection of art celebrating the beauty of Black women. I would walk out of there with several pieces every single time I go in there, if I had places to put them.

Hey frennn (in my head lol) ...love the braids! So mad about the edge control ashy effect tho You are better than me. For those types of styles I'm going to the Africans where they're gonna put atleast 2 ppl on my head and they always pick the right edge control it seems lol. Esp because I have like type 4CCC hair 😂 I did a style with crochet and hair left out like you did and them lil strings got on my nerves esp because i went to P.R. and it got wet and tangly. I love how you fixed it too! Also, i love the couch, I do think that one crunched area is gonna eventually bother u lol. I was trying to see the rest of the space to see why it can't go against the long wall instead. I wish I could draw how I would suggest changing it lol. I wanna say put the piece with the ottoman against the long wall and then the rest of the couch along where the patio door is? It won't block the island chairs so much. What about the patio was blocking the daylight before?

The added hair 😍

Yayyy, been waiting. Hey girlll 🫶🏾

Love the set up. One piece of advice--throw pillow covers.

Oh yea the braids remix is 🔥🔥 definitely added some razzle dazzle! 39:34

I just did this style today and I started 9:15am finished about 2:30pm without the bohemian 😂😂I would’ve left the chair sorry 12hours hell na

We see you catching up on Talitha's Vlogggg. Das my good sis! ❤❤ I love to see when my faves watch my favessss!

Hi Jess! 👋🏾 Love your content. As far as the wall art is concerned, go to another home goods store to find the match. I've done it with my wall art with success.

Girl, enjoyed it 🎉

Heyyyy ..by the time this vlog is over I should be running away from my desk to go home 😂

When I get braided I go to the Africans ,I ain’t got tyme

Beautiful hairstyle and i love your plans for your home❤😍❤️

Beautiful Jess!🤩

The couch is beautiful, I think you should use it for now but you need the one with the correct angle to make the room and space look perfect.

I usually sit under a hair dryer (abs hand dryer sirens too) to melt the edge control into more of an oil to eliminate the white residue

Jess, the braids itself is nice. I would remove the curly pieces and just wash the knotless braids.

🎉 IM WATCHING THIS AS I WORK FROM HOME, MULTITASKING 😂

Jess you cracked me up at the end of your vlog... talkin bout that thick man!!!🤣😂😂😂

I arrived on time…3 mins early! Lol I love black ppl sister/sister! ❤

YAY!!!! A NEW VIDEO!!!!!🥰

I love the way the couch is and you should keep it but get the ottoman. Also art pieces can be at target , Ross, Marshalls, and TJ Maxx. If you find one painting at Ross usually Marshalls or TJ maxx with have the pair and vice versa. I think it goes the same for home sense but not sure

I think it being on the long wall looks better. Because it has no edge part on the side it should still look good. That space is very tight. But love the light and couch. And please tell her. Professionalism is a understatement right now

Loved the vlog! Yes im seeing multiple Ads without the ability to skip after a couple seconds 😢 Happy Holidays everyone 🎉

*Casually mentions to wear a produce bag as a shower cap* The way I HOLLERED 😭😭

Yes, the ads thing happens with your videos but it’s ok. Hopefully, they are sharing those coins with you! I love how your hair looks with the hair you added. It look good before but you really elevated it!

Boneless boho braids had me on the floor😂😂😂😂😂😂

Girl ur not wrong about the braided, u just have the worse luck with people and I can definitely relate to that. Keep yo head up.best wishes to u and the families for the new new 🥂

I did my own and my sister's boho braids with more boho in 15hrs 😂 and they were smaller squares and longer. She took wayyyyy too long!

Lol I'm sure she'll see your videos no suggestions needed 🤣 Also definitely had the long ads while watching this vlog.

To get rid of the white residue from the edge control try smoothing it out with a wet towel. Not rubbing it extremely hard might make it frizzy.

Ugh I have been waiting for this !!🥰🥰🥰🥰 So Excited!!!

That couch slick reminds me of the feather couch with those goose feathers in them. If so, sis! That couch is AMAZING and by God’s grace I’ll be able to get one. The only thing is I heard that they’re really long 🤔

"She did give me a fork when I asked for a fork" 😂😂😂😂

Girl, what is your gym arm workout routine. I had to rewatch the first minute of the vlog. ❤

❤❤❤❤ loved the braids and yes that braider needs to learn some professionalism. The house is coming along beautifully, love that open light. And girllll wayfair may have just what you need 😂. But frfr you will be amazed of the Gems you find and the local smaller furniture stores too

I love the couch, thanks for pointing out the left and right facing. Yes girl, I'm having to watch ads for 45 seconds, before I can skip. It's all good, I always enjoy watching your vlogs ❤

We need an app or something with these hair stylists on there so we can rate them like yelp! She really played!

Love this Vlog!! Hair is Gorgeous 😍😍 😍
