Holy cow I’m about to do my first balayage touch up and I was freaking out till I saw your video! Thank you so much for the tips ! Definitely feeling more confident ! Thanks !

[@JamieDana]

That makes me so happy to hear! Thanks for watching!

[@bensonryker4798]

i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can give me

[@aniapzyciejestpiekne]

I agree, it is one of the best videos I've ever watched!!!

[@annikathomas6685]

GOOD LORD this has changed my LIFE!!! I have SUCH curly, thick, blonde hair and NOBODY (*NOBODY*) has EVER done my hair like correctly OR like this!!!!!! I can do it MYSELF now!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@stb229]

I just wanted to say a huge thank you! I’m in my last semester of cosmetology school and thanks to your KZbin I’ve gotten so much better at color. It was my weakest point but now I’m so much more confident. You’ve taught me more than school has as far as the techniques. I’m far from perfect but thanks to you I’ve grown a ton and hope to someday be as successful as you!

[@JamieDana]

You are so sweet, thank YOU! I am so happy to hear this has been helpful!

[@Thelifestyleofmarie]

SAME HERE! ....I'm at my third month at school and have learned way much with Jamie than with my teacher 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@AshleyB-xh1qh]

Yes!! I totally agree with you! Actually, we watched your balayage videos in my balayage class at cosmetology school then they told us to try it on our mannequins 😊 I love your videos and your energy. Thanks for helping us all on our journeys.

[@shanfamfun]

I’m glad I found you recently! So many people on KZbin have super annoying voices. You are easy on the ears. Thanks for being professional and willing to share your knowledge with us.

[@JamieDana]

Shannon Arellano Oh thank you so much for saying that! I'm glad my voice isn't annoying haha! Thanks for watching!

[@RajSingh-ck6px]

I like your work

[@MarziaMarzia]

Shannon Arellano lol are you talking about Mandy? 🙉

[@cirose6035]

Shannon Arellano i agree! I can’t stand half of these videos on here bc people have annoying voices!

[@breakingsland6783]

Where have you been all my life I’ve been hairdressing 20 years and seriously you have turned so many light bulbs on in my head The conditioner on the roots is going to be a game changer for me. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏

[@JamieDana]

I'm so happy to hear this has been helpful!

[@Maryklokkis]

I just wanted to tell you that you inspire me so much🙏🏻 im a hairdresser from norway, and i started using your foilage tecnique and im so Happy there is people like you on KZbin to help and inspire other stylists🙏🏻 thank you!

[@JamieDana]

This makes me so happy to hear that my videos have been helpful! Thanks so much for watching!

[@courtneyricker1254]

Ugh I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I LOVE your technique! I’ve told all my coworkers about it. So simple with such a gorgeous outcome.

[@JamieDana]

Courtney Ricker Awe thank you so much for sharing this with your coworkers! I really appreciate it!

[@haleighcooper7008]

I’m not a hair stylist and I will more than likely never be one. But I’ve watched almost every video and feel like a professional 😂

[@JamieDana]

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

[@azg73]

I LOVE this technique! I am more comfortable using foils as I have been doing hair since the early 90s and freehand painting takes a lot of practice to get it right. I used your exact placement and technique recently on a client with a similar base color with amazing balayage results! Foilayage with the conditioner "buffer" zone is genius! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@artexgirl]

LOVED that you showed the end result!!! So many do not. Great video!

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much, Jan!

[@daddiebeeh93]

Just did my own hair following this video & I’m in love with it🥰 Thank You!

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@deadlymoonlight]

Did you use any conditioner?

[@northman799]

I did this technique on a customer and it came out beautiful. Can you do more video's on hispanic hair?

[@JamieDana]

Thank you Sasha. I'll keep that in mind for a future video!

[@ericagonzales6130]

Yes, please! Our hair is a little difficult to work with sometimes.

[@NatAndKaii]

Wow didn’t know you can use conditioner as a blending agent, very useful tip thanks for the awesome videos!

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@deadlymoonlight]

Did you use any kind of conditioner?

[@whitneywise1528]

I use your channel as a form of continued education! Lol. You're absolutely delightful to watch and I love how informative and explanatory you are!! Been doing hair since 2010, and find myself smiling and nodding and giggling like at some of the things you say like we're in the same salon.. You're such a joy, I just can't help it! Lol!! Anywho, thanks so much for being you!!! :)

[@trudycat72]

Love this technique looking forward to trying it out! After being out of the industry for 7 years it’s so so great to have these step by step videos to get inspiration and learn new techniques!! Thank you thank you Jamie you’re just brilliant and such a lovely girl too!! Trudy x

[@Jessicaconeja]

Best foilayage video I’ve seen EVER. Job very well done!

[@JamieDana]

Thank you! I'm so happy to hear this has been helpful!

[@76alison]

Just stumbled upon this while researching new ways to deal with balayage.... as I hate the paddles. Seriously, this was to the point, super informative and this conditioner at the root thing is amazing. I'll be trying this on a client tomorrow, wish me luck!

[@JamieDana]

So glad you loved it! Thanks for watching!

[@jessicajimenez1419]

This is the most informative step by step foilyage video!. Great job jamie best retouch video on youtube, no ?

[@JamieDana]

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear you loved this video. Thanks for watching!

[@ScreamSingAndLaugh]

i just recently found you, i watched this video last night and today i tried this placement twice today on 2 clients! i customized it for each guest of mine and i loved it! i was able to move fast through application and still gave the finish look a lot of brightness in the right places! thank you!

[@JamieDana]

I love it! I'm so happy to hear it was helpful!

[@Melanie-nd1pt]

Omg this is life changing can't wait to try this in the salon! I feel like using the conditoner is going to be super helpful! I've had the issue before where no matter how much I feather up or tease it still doesn't look as blended as it could so I think this will really help!

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much for watching! I'm so happy to hear it's been helpful!

[@kello92300]

I love the conditioner tip. Thanks for sharing. I don't like balayage because it takes too long to process with clay lightener and never gets bright enough. I spent 5 hrs on a girl yesterday because I had to go back and foilyage after doing balayage. She had old color on mid-shaft and blonde ends so when I rinsed the clay lightener(40vol) off after 50 minutes and she had orange band around the middle. I knew the toner wouldn't touch it so I went back with foils. Looked better. I am never happy with clay lightener, I guess I'm impatient. Time is money. It works good for virgin hair if they want very subtle highlights. And I definitely like using foils over anything. Again, thanks for the video. Your voice isn't annoying like a lot of other youtubers😆 your nails are pretty too

[@JamieDana]

Thanks for watching!

[@lillyjosie3074]

From one licensed professional to another great job

[@JamieDana]

Thanks Haydee!

[@YvesHairStudio]

Watch till the end loved it!!!

[@jordanstrah9976]

Girl, you are my favorite hair tutorial guru, it’s your awesome attitude- I love it! Keep up the amazing work! Also best balayage video, hands down.

[@Navikevi]

I’m so excited to try this technique. I’m not a professional, but I do mine and my daughters hair. The initial balayage was great but I struggled touching it up. I had some areas that weren’t blended well. I think this will be a much easier technique.

[@sharonw26]

I love this it’s my new obsession I have done my last few balayages this way and there’s no going back. Your so inspiring love your videos x

[@JamieDana]

Thank you so much for sharing! I'm so happy to hear this was helpful!

[@conniesuther9421]

I used your technique today and had amazing results thank you so much , just what I needed.

[@JamieDana]

Thats amazing! I'm so glad you let me know. I'm so happy to hear it has bee helpful!

[@kristen5396]

Jamie, thank you so much for these videos. I am going to be going to cosmetology school here in a couple of months. I hear that schools do not teach these techniques. I watch tones of videos and your videos I can handle. You are very easy on the ears and its nice to see that you are not only down to earth but beautiful too. I cant stand the duck lips I see in many videos lol ugh. Thank you for sharing tips with us. I realize my writing is terrible lol I am also taking online reading, writing to brush up on skills for the future.

[@britneymcmullen7052]

I have my first balayage touch up tomorrow and I was freaking out till I found this now I feel confident thank you!

[@mariewalton555]

I’ve over complicated foiliyage and balayage topping up for so long this technique is amazing thanks so much for sharing and explaining it it such a straight forward way x

[@agnesamorina2765]

I tried you method today I'm so lucky to find you. You saved my job never know how to do balayage today it turned amazing I wish I could send you pictures thank you ❤️

[@vernasaunders3389]

Great work Jamie. Color came out soft and nice. Neat work also. Really Nice color.

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much Verna! I really appreciate the feedback!

[@ElliScott]

Thank you so much for this helpful video!!! I showed it to my sister, because she wanted to touch up my balayage and babylights (also done by her) . She followed your instructions and it came out sooo well!!! We didn't use conditioner but I think the key was teasing the strains! It blended perfectly and looked super professional! We also followed your tip to start at the bottom and not to forget the strains around the face, the result was stunning.

[@alicevalenzuela4546]

Used you technique...my client loved it...Thank you Keep your videos coming so helpful...🥰💞

[@Abbyravenclaw92]

Because of you I think I found my passion. Thank you 💕

Omg best explanation of all my touch ups so far! Tysm for doing this!^-^♡

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much! I'm glad it was helpful!

[@savannahsmith5401]

Could you do a video on how to do a balayage/foliage for a client who has some grey hair and wants it all covered up? That is a tricky one for me

[@JamieDana]

Savannah Smith That is a great suggestion! I can definitely do that! Thanks for the idea!

[@keelynoxleymitchell]

YES! That's what I'm struggling with as well!

[@ramseynco]

Yes! Bc adding lightener on top of color to blend you get that band of warmth.

[@alexandervilesov8804]

I second that

[@robynfitch5951]

Savannah Smith yes that’s a great idea! I would really appreciate that too

[@sarahusman6123]

You are amazing with honest uploads. Love u!

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much Sarah!

[@alicegoldenvalley]

Love this! ❤️🌸 I did my first foilayage on myself with one of your foilayage videos on repeat in my bathroom and it turned out amazing!! 😃 and now I’m going to do this refresh video tomorrow. I love how detailed your videos are! And indeed with very dark hair no blending agent needed that is the only thing I will skip, because my hair is really dark and pulls very warm, so I am just going to really extra tease my hair and be really careful in de blending area :) again thank you!!

[@ciellexox]

Love this!! Will definitely try this on my client ❤️

[@daisybeckett-turff8275]

Watched this last night did your exact technique today absolutely loved the outcome!!! Thankyou 😁 xx

[@JamieDana]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear this has been helpful!

[@daisybeckett-turff8275]

My go to technique now!! I did get a bit of warmth where the conditioner was but I did silver shampoo and it was gone! Perfect 😍 xx

[@brandiswiderski106]

Used this technique last week on a client! Usually I struggle with balayage but your video made it easy for me to understand how to get that blend down. Color turned out beautiful and client was happy!

[@JamieDana]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear this was helpful!

[@melodypearson2730]

Hi !! I followed your pattern and it turned out great and beautiful !! The best I have ever done no breaks !! Thanku !!!

[@melodypearson2730]

Jamie Dana it came out beautiful !! Great pattern !!! Thanku !!! And I really don’t like to do it because I’m really not comfortable but I did it I should have taken a pic but it was perfect ! It makes me nervous still ???

[@redheadhairstylist]

[@beautifulpollution]

I've been doing the conditioner technique because I was tired of the hot root sitch.. I even apply it before foiled highlight like a root touch up first that way if there's product build up at the base it prevents the cheetah spots.

[@JamieDana]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ginawilliamson4542]

JAMIE!! Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial!Your enthusiasm is contagious! I used your signature method of foilayage my client's hair turned out absolutely beautiful! My only issue I had to deal with, and struggle with on occasion is this: Clients with thick, long hair...do you have any tried and true methods of getting the hair to process to where it can all be finished at the same time? I staggered my developer from 20 in back to 30 in front but the total application time was almost 2 hours! Maybe I'm just slow and need to get faster at applying product...? Your thoughts?

[@JamieDana]

Thank you so much for reaching out, Gina! It does totally depend on your speed and it sounds like you are doing what I would suggest, dropping the volume! If they have thick long hair, that means you have to take thinner sections which will take much longer. Don't be afraid to rinse out what is done even if you have a half of a head left to process!

[@garymccullough5343]

I love your videos. You are AMAZING!!!! Thanks

[@ninon5168]

Basically it’s like chunky highlights and baby lights combination about 20-30 foils I didn’t know about conditioner blending but I can imagine that can also be used to protect the ends. I like the end result

[@JamieDana]

Thanks!

I'm in cosmetology school and our instructor doesn't teach us how to do this. Your videos have helped me learn so much and I'm feeling confident enough to try these techniques on my clients! I do have one question, what does teasing the hair do for the bayalage? Does it help blend seamlessly?

[@JamieDana]

Hey Mallory McDarment I'm so happy to hear you've learned so much from my videos! Teasing the hair does help with blending. Thank you so much for watching.

Thanks so much Tracy!

[@daughter_of_yeshua]

Your videos are always so helpful, so glad I found you! 👍could you explain the effect that different partings give in balayage. I've heard that diagonal back typically gives more brightness in the back while diagonal forward gives more brightness in front. Is that correct? What other partings do you use for balayage or foilyage? Also, can you explain or show what the difference is between a weaved foilyage vs. A teased balayage. Thank you so much. Loving your videos, I'm in my way to watching all of them.

[@JamieDana]

Hey! Thanks so much for your questions! I'll keep this in mind to create a more in-depth video about this since this is a lot of extra information and may be best for a video. Thanks so much!

[@kimmy0868]

A powerful tip, do Not tighten the fold line, your actually pushing the lightener off of the hair!
