Came for the shadow root.. Stayed for the amazing foiling techniques. You did a really awesome job. Thanks for explaining everything so well. You are a great teacher! Thanks so much!

[@JaneSmith0709]

Same!

[@Nancnurs88]

I'm not a hairstylist, but I've been highlighting my hair for over 30 years paying $$$, and have never ever had a colorist pay so much attention to detail to my hair except one that if course moved to Austin. Hopefully I can find one as talented as you in the Houston area. Thank you!

[@JamieDana]

I would recommend finding a stylist on instagram in your area. Thanks for watching!

[@JaneSmith0709]

There is a lady in Houston named Melanie Knappke. Best my hair has ever looked! She's not cheap but she's so good! Highly recommend.

[@anxioushippiexo]

I’ve watched this 3 times in preparation for my client today who I’ve been super anxious about getting to that beautiful creamy blonde. Thank you so much for this!!

[@widowrumstrypze9705]

How'd they turn out??

[@mimi22658]

I wish more stylists took the time and attention to detail like you do! Beautiful!

[@JamieDana]

I'm so glad you loved it. Thanks for watching!

[@diamondwebb5749]

The Olaplex 2 to ease the tease, the side back hairline baby lights, the root tap one inch, add seq processing thickener, rinse before toning mids and ends, the foiling technique all of it is master!

[@debbiamick9740]

I used this technique, with my own spin on it, on my client today. It was so amazing and blended so beautiful with her grey. It was honestly the best blonde shadow root I have ever done!

[@JamieDana]

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear you loved it!

[@clairehug7583]

THE BEST HAIR VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN ON HERE 🎉 THANK YOU SO MUCH, HER HAIR LOOKS GORGEOUS 😍

[@BabyLlama81]

Hi Jamie! Fellow stylist here, and i just wanted to take a minute and tell you how much I appreciate you and ALL the work you put into your videos on behalf of us artists all over this world. I can’t imagine the time and effort it takes but i thoroughly enjoy and appreciate each learning experience with you and the fun and excitement you bring to your videos/education. You are wonderful and i thank you all the way from Texas!!!

[@JamieDana]

Hey Brooklyn Rollins I'm so happy to hear you've learned so much from my videos! Thank you so much for watching.

[@jaziia2238]

I am a young hairstylist, honestly I thought my love for hair died but after watching a couple of your videos it's been ignited again thank you so much I learned alot !

[@JamieDana]

That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you so much for watching!

[@BlackThorndRose]

Jamie I’m so glad you repeat how crucial those detail foils are! It truly does make all the difference! Even if you go and cover the blonde with Vivids, it still makes ALL the difference that I wish more stylists would take the time to work on. I’ve been to stylists where I actually mentioned it, especially around the hairline, and especially when you have an even darker base, you know...it’s like a black hole!🤦🏻‍♀️

[@JamieDana]

I'm so happy to hear you loved that. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@susanwatts4453]

Hi Jamie . your tutorials are so inspiring. Since giving up my salon toning has become the latest thing . I now understand how it works and the product I need to use its just picking the correct shade to use. thankyou your videos are so great ( 75 year old still working .) Uk .

[@SuzyQT]

You are AMAZING! If only I could find a stylist like you…You’d have a client for life bc I’d never leave! Your work is gorgeous💕.

[@esevilla11]

You are rocking it with the content you are putting out! Thank you for all of your hard work to put this out for us!! Your a breath of freshair of the people I follow for education. God bless!

I love how in depth you go into your tutorials! Thanks for sharing! 😍

I'm so happy to hear that. Thanks so much for watching!

[@YoMissyRocks]

Thank you for saying how long the application took. That’s a common thing I’m always wondering when watching tutorials

[@JamieDana]

You're welcome! Thanks so much for watching my videos!

[@YoMissyRocks]

Jamie Dana of course! I always end up sharing a lot of your videos to coworkers. You’re very innovative! Always learning a new technique from you.

[@kennedyfasching6426]

This was such a great help❤️ I appreciate and love the detail you put into you work! I can’t wait to try this technique out!

[@Syd101.1]

I’m really freaking about the client I have coming in the salon today. I knew I could count on you to make me feel better about it!! Definitely going to incorporate these techniques when she gets here!! Thank you so much 😭

[@MKalee]

Great teacher! Beautiful results! Upbeat personality without being annoying. Loved watching this!!

[@lisagreen6139]

This video has just changed my life! Backwards Foiling is the best trick I've ever seen! Thank you so much!

[@colleencarey3256]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! Your videos honestly blow me away. Everything from your formula's to your techniques are so masterful yet explained & shown in a detail that gives all of us watching not only the understanding but the ability and "how-2's" of achieving & maintaining salon-looking hair at home. 👑👑👑👑👑

[@JamieDana]

Hey Colleen Carey I'm so happy to hear you've learned so much from my videos! Thank you so much for watching.

[@abigailtucker2851]

I am obsessed with watching hair dying videos and although I’m not a hair stylist I know the general jist of how important technique is and I LOVE your technique and how you talk through everything instead of a basic song in the background and just watching!!

[@JamieDana]

Aw thanks so much for watching!

[@susanbaldino1115]

So nervous about root shadows….great video thank you!

[@dmikullajewelry]

You are a fabulous colorist and terrific teacher! I’m retired 4 yrs but I also did the detailed foiling and you are so right - it’s worth it, the clients love it and you can charge premium prices. This blonde is gorgeous!!

[@Zyxwomp]

Thank you for showing her hair up at the end! I’ve seen different hairline techniques where they don’t do that and it seems silly to go to all that work videoing it and then not showing the outcome.

[@JamieDana]

I'm thrilled to hear you loved it. Thanks so much for watching!

[@gabrielavilla7308]

Love how much you talk and how everything you say is valuable

[@valindalaughlin2486]

Thanks for sharing! I'm going back into hair after being out of the color end of it for 15 years. So many new techniques to learn! New terms, New techniques, I'm really excited about jumping back in! Keep the videos coming and that was beautiful!😍😍😍

[@mostroupe4568]

Love this!! I am in cosmo school, and they obviously teach the cut and dry techniques, sectioning all that. I love the way you teach, I learned SO MUCH from watching this. Thank you!

[@garyharden7311]

Looks awesome!!! Takes me like 4 hours when I do this -forever and I'm moving non-stop

[@JamieDana]

Thank so much for watching!

[@Rosielurose]

I wish you’d upload vids every day because you are sooo amazing at explaining and especially sharing the formula so clearly ... amazing work please don’t stop making tutorials 😄😊❤️

[@JamieDana]

I'm so glad you love them so much! Thanks for watching!

[@dnllmaurer1]

Georgous results! These are brillant techniques that flow together seemlessly. You clearly explained many important points in the process & to consider the client's experience. I agree, when extra attention to detail is focused on the full hairline, it adds tremendous value to the finished look & extends time between a client's visits. I'm intreged by your backwards foil technique, back combing remaining hair to allow short lift time giving it a boost to grab toner & creating varied intensity on shadow root with brief exposure on money pieces. Really appreciate you taking your time to share your system of creating this beautiful blonde color with a luxorious glow! Wishing you abundant Blessings! Thank you!

[@JaneSmith0709]

Those small things you do make such a huge difference. This is one of the best foil videos on KZbin. Great job!

[@belinda4934]

I love the babylights and shadowed toot technique. The end result is seamless. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. 😊

[@JamieDana]

I'm thrilled to hear you loved this! Thanks for watching!

[@jesusiscallingtimeisshort]

Nice job! What I appreciate is you have good explanation, and you're voice is not fake sounding or sassy/prissy like many others. Good teaching!!

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much! So glad to hear you loved it.

[@ooohlaa13]

yes I am so tired of the utube jargon constantly joking with loud music and keep robotically saying so Yeah, and Yeah ,,, yeah yeah when at a loss for words ... and the upending raising ones voice at the end of each phrase or sentence like everything is uncertain or a question ... I don't get it. This is elegant, classy and the art and teaching is masterful and so professional. I love your taste in backdrop, setting and clothes and hats!!!

[@terryfrazier8648]

It’s so great to see someone else foil backwards! I’m the only one in the salon who does it! Some use boards also. I’ve been doing hair a very long time so I have done many different techniques but prefer this way! Great job by the way!! Terry

[@samanthalewis5032]

I love that technique! You do such an amazing job.

[@kathyoleary4722]

This technique is so perfectly done. Gorgeous job honey!!

[@HairTransformationColor]

I loved this! There is something soothing about watching someone rid themselves of split and choppy ends. Thanks so much for putting this together!

[@ellizabethvillada2403]

I loved how you did the hairline such precision!! Love how you did shadow root with client sitting up.

[@brookelane6589]

Yes ! I’ll be using your foiling technique and root shadow technique! Love it !

[@UndeniablyBlond]

That is amazing! I’m going to show my stylist this video! Thank you so much!

[@heatherg2083]

Love your vids....and thank you for sharing your amazing expertise!

[@JamieDana]

Thank you so much love!

[@itsBrittLyn]

Folding e foil backward when putting it at the base helps it stay at the nape. You then can adjust it to move it up if it falls ♥️

[@miax5528]

Very specific and practical video! That’s why it’s expensive to get your hair done! Great work - although I convinced myself that “no you won’t be able to do it yourself” when I finished watching it 😅

[@classybeauty2912]

Never, ever could I DIY this, and YES, I’d pay BIG $$ to have her do this!! Finding a stylist w/ this technique & knowledge is difficult! Hate overpaying for mediocre work.

[@sommercoleman7653]

[@briellescherr9898]

Awesome video! I search and search for tutorials that actually show you step by step instructions on hair that had root growth and surprisingly there isn’t very many detailed videos out there! You did awesome on telling how long it takes, if you feel awkward during the process and very detailed instructions that I truly appreciate. I’m doing my hair in a little bit and have 5 inch root growth (natural is a level 5-6 and ends are 10) and I need to break up the blonde and blend the roots without making it to dark. Thanks again! Can you post one for doing hair at home on yourself? That is something most women want and yet another hard video to find on KZbin. Keep up the awesome work!

[@safiyaayuen2230]

Wow this colour turned out really well! It's so well blended and the tone is creamy, doesn't look over the top.

I’m planning on going to cosmetology school after going to college & deciding this is really what I want to do. (Knowing when I was in high school but thought I’d give college a try!) but, I follow a whole lot of hair stylists on KZbin but I LOVE you! You’re my favorite. The way you do things, the way you teach/explain, personality, style! You’re my role model! Love you!

Wow, I’ve watched a ton of tutorials on foiling and this one is the best. Thanks so much!!! I LOVE the reverse direction foiling although I’m a fold under gal. The detail on the hairline is something I’ve only experienced in California. I would go to you in a heartbeat!

[@kendratanner8707]

Awesome video as usual! I would love for you to make a video on the most polite way to "fire" a client. Clients that are not happy with your work but still come back time and again, or you just don't meld as a client / hairstylist relationship. Your so graceful with your words, is there a good way to say "Hey, I don't want to do your hair anymore"?

Thanks so much for your feedback. I'll keep that in mind for a future video!

Hey lady! Thanks for all the amazing videos! So, if this was in the salon and not being filmed, how long does this foil placement generally take you? (Just getting the foils in)

[@JamieDana]

This took about 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours. Thanks for watching!

[@Johgffccbjjfddgg]

Great question! I think it helps the people saying, I want this type of hair color, understand this takes a lot of time to achieve.

Ahhhh I love this! I’ve always been scared to shadow root but this helps so much! When applying the shadow root, do you comb out each section with the wow comb?
