[@aniapzyciejestpiekne]

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

[@fabjacob]

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!

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@gailtompkins-ford1383]

love watching you doing hair, im in the process of getting back building my business and find these really helpful

[@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!!

[@mkss323]

You are so talented & knowledgable! Thanks for sharing your tips!💖

[@jessicapetrie3109]

Your techniques are amazing and have helped me so much! Thank you for your tutorials!

[@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!!! :)

[@thecherishedlife]

This is probably the best tutorial I’ve seen on this! Thank you so much!!

[@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.

[@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!

[@artexgirl]

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

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much, Jan!

[@britneymcmullen7052]

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

[@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.

[@tizianapaonessa5611]

Great job. You made things so simple but effective. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing this with us.😊

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@YvesHairStudio]

Watch till the end loved it!!!

[@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!

[@MsLarisBeauty]

I am so in love with this! I can’t wait to try this technique!!!

[@JamieDana]

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

[@mahrnz7940]

Thanks for the video I got the answer to one of my questions well

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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?

[@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]
