4 years later and I loved this ! Thanks!

[@yamibottini5798]

I love stylist who show the passion and love for what people may not see or understand. Keep up the great work.I still feel that after37years.

[@ashleys9615]

This is a great tutorial and I didn’t find the music distracting personally! :)

[@Dailylifewithavs]

This was super easy and exactly the type of technique I could use on the daily! I hate crazy techniques I just like a quick and easy, thank you! 😊

[@wontbefooledagain9400]

First off I loved the tunes. Your work was awesome, really answered alot of my questions. Thank you so much. You're an awesome artist. Bad ass. I'm a hairstylist of 30 years. I'm trying to keep up with the latest. I'm a little late I know but I have been incorporating bayalage into my services. Thanks again.

[@amandaireland4493]

Judy Silka YOU’RE the badass! Thank you for watching. You can do anything with some practice!

[@dowaddict2]

This is the best video on Balayage that I have seen of the 4 or 5 I have watched. It is so hard to find a stylist that knows how to do this and make it come out right. I wish you were in AZ!

[@amandaireland4493]

dowaddict2 omg thank you so much! That means a lot to me!! ❤️❤️

[@stacyyoung8713]

Love your video. I think most people over think a balayage so keeping it simple and clean is best.

[@moazzamakarim3188]

Good job very informative I like the service. Please do videos on hair cut as well. Thanks

[@boomchic4965]

Lexi.... what a great job.. very humble about the correction but beautiful look....

[@ginamatassa3225]

[@amandaireland4493]

[@brianabuenrostro9252]

This was great, thx I loved it that you put the formula is in the description so few people do that and it’s very frustrating .

[@Renate.Maria.999]

This was excatly what I was looking for ❤️

[@lesleymorley6420]

Loved this video. Finely way to root touch up and just add light. Well done !!!

[@amandaireland4493]

+Cynthia Lopresti thank you so much! 😊

[@bodyjewels]

Amanda Ireland question. The root colors and toner both ash?? , but final color looks warm which I Love wanted to check with you on formula first. Before I do this. I do not look good in ash. My front hair is 50 grey. I usually use 6 med blonde brown gold..kenera. ?????I don't want my entire head blonde. This us the perfect natural look xxxxooooooo

[@normahutchingson3994]

What a fantastic tutorial! You are a great artist & yes, please more step by steps ♡

[@roxannetomlin3113]

Nice job, Iv been a colorist for 35 years and always was afraid to “ just paint lightener on “ but you made it look easy and I’m going to try it !! 😊 thank you

[@amandaireland4493]

thank you! good luck!

[@michellecarothers9691]

@@amandaireland4493 I know this video is 3 years old. But I have a question. I use Wella color but I’m curious why you used the pastel developer for the root color. Also, I couldn’t find your Instagram page.

[@amandaireland4493]

@@michellecarothers9691 hi! So since she isn’t grey I wanted it to deposit more. Illumina is permanent so using the pastel cuts the ammonia. My handle has changed since then… it’s now amandaraebecker ❤️

[@lolasanchez2232]

Agree simple thank you ! Easy and the dimension parts are awesome

[@amandaireland4493]

Lorinda Sanchez thank you so much!

[@crystalhenryartistry]

[@todaysthoughtbubbles]

Very pretty balayage. I like that you showed every step. Great job!

[@user-fd1qb7ml2j]

Great job! I do hair also, and I love this way of doing root color and highlights at the same time! So natural looking!

[@EricaTuley-lj7yc]

[@amandaireland4493]

dazee mae wow thank you so much! That means so much to me

[@jessikacampbell4363]

Awesome! You made this look so effortless and I’m excited to try this!

[@JoyBeardSunde]

That was wonderful! Thank you! It came out beautiful! One thing though, freelights are designed to be mixed 1:1.5 or 1 to 2 and the Service cond. Is important to seal the color and normalize the hair, brings the pH back down! Pastel deleloper removes the ammonia makes permanent color a toner! Thanks again for a great video! Subscribed!

[@Rachelle_Creates]

Wow this is absolutely gorgeous! I love this technique. You are so much fun to watch I can't wait for more!

[@amandaireland4493]

[@sabinekreuz]

Is it possible to see the next appointment the girl has with you. So what to do to maintain this color?

[@danikahsmith1924]

wow this is one of the easiest tutorials to follow! I subbed! u have a great personality and explanation was perfect thank you! please do more!!! I'm having such a hard time with this exact thing! watching you I may give it another go!

[@angelarowland7114]

I really like in when you are very clear in instructing each step you take and the products you use and admitting you did a mistake and fixing it and showing us how thanks

[@tylerrichards8205]

I just have to say I have searched and searched and SEARCHED for the best balayage tutorial (as a newer stylist) and I am absolutely AMAZED at this tutorial! You really took your time, you didn’t speed up the video, you thoroughly explained every single step and I couldn’t have been happier!! I’m ecstatic to try this technique on my clients!! You’re amazing! Easiest technique, yet most beautiful outcome I’ve seen!! Quick question! Is that a semi, or demi permanent color you used on the root? I’ve learned that permanent colors aren’t as seamless!

[@amandaireland4493]

Tyler Richards it was permanent but I made it into a demi by using the pastel developer.

[@amandaireland4493]

Tyler Richards try doing permanent at the roots and mix up a demi or semi for the mid shafts. That’s usually what I do

[@tylerrichards8205]

Thank you so much! I’ll definitely try that!

[@texascontessa5818]

Excellent.....need to find a shop here in Italy that does this....exactly!!! What I have wanted for years

[@aacts2219]

love the hair color and how you curled it. would love to see detailed blow-out and curling for this style video, if possible, with the description of products used.

[@kavanderanita6263]

I liked it..tx for showing in details

[@melissaalexander1042]

Great finished result. Was the root color a semi permanent color?

[@raquelvenable7736]

[@vanessaturner5324]

Great video! Do u have a video where u take the client a lot darker on her base with an existing balayage and refresh the balayage?

[@prettybird2588]

That's a fantastic job very beautiful work. I would love to see how you would do a BAYALAGE BLENDING GRAY ROOT TOUCH UP on someone that's a natural level 6 light brown. 🎨❤️

[@pixiemermaid]

Yes! Key tip take that dang clamp kick stand off the curling iron. Thumbs up

[@carmencontreras6245]

[@athenanelson5770]

How do you keep your black hair super shiny? Love love

[@katha9301]

Hi Amanda, I love the video! I normally keep my base my natural hair color (level 7 ash); however, a while ago a hairdresser experimented with my hair and changed my base to a golden shade. Golden doesn't look well with my skin tone. I have been wanting to go back to my natural blonde color with highlights for a while so thanks again for taking the time to make this!!

[@Bleigh1584]

Loved!!! Color was so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@RealmMeira]

[@dianethompson9525]

Did you shampoo her with cold water to keep the base color from toning the blondes? Good job-looks great!

[@amandaireland4493]

[@Carmelj90]

That’s was beautiful.. great job

[@amandaireland4493]

thank you soooooo much!

[@erickavaden1208]

this was awesome!!! the only troubles I find is when I blend the blonde into the color for root melt it seems so brassy. what toner should I use to knock that out. I usually use the paul Mitchell uta. thanks again the hair looks so great

[@amandaireland4493]

If it gets too brassy you can use two toners, tone the brassier area with the according shade and then the ends with a lighter shade.

[@stephanies870]

I love videos like this!

[@maryclebeau]

I loved what you did. Where is your salon? I live in California on the central coast are you near me?

[@Morgan-ow5bn]

Loved it! Excellent job!!

[@HairByAriiianna]

[@seemabeautypassion8433]

Great outcome keep it up

[@MelissaFurdero]

Beautiful!!!! Is the wella color touch 9/01 a toner or hair color??

[@tinasparkles2434]

Stunning.

[@Noah_burbridge]

Great video can u tell me why u used pastel developer for the base?

[@amandaireland4493]

Emma Burbridge thank you! Since illumina is a permanent line, if you use 1:2 pastel it cuts the ammonia out and makes it a demi! You can do this with the Koleston Perfect line as well. :)

[@MamaMia-xn1op]

Looks good!

[@1riflegirl]

LOOKS FAB!!!

[@ashleymarshall2609]

Simple but effective ! 🙌🏼 thank u

[@amandaireland4493]

[@bodyjewels]

I love this video , I have watched it at least 25 times. Do I can do this. My hair is white roots, not grey. Most at part line, rest dark blonde , once this is done how do you retouch seamless. Then you will have to lowlights. I live in f la and the sun bleached out. Oh I wish you were hear.

[@michelecondon7821]

Thank you!!
