Balayage on Dark Hair | Foilayage Technique on Black Asian Hair

✨ FULL TECHNIQUE INCLUDING FORMULAS ✨
I wanted to share my technique for doing a balayage on dark hair. In this video, I use my signature foilayage technique and it allows me to get a TON of lift so that I don't have to cover brassiness in the hair. I'm able to get my clients to a beautiful caramel color without it fading brassy.

What was toner. Beautiful work

[@Jessicaconeja]

So gorgeous!!!I work with mostly Hispanic level 2-4 hair DAILY. Your balayage technique has changed my hair game COMPLETELY! And I’m forever grateful. More than you could know!!!! If I could offer some helpful advice, closing BOTH sides of the foils instead of just folding the bottom corner on darker clients will help you so much. It incapsulates the heat better and allows for a much better lift. I also don’t believe in putting clients under the drier for a quicker lift. So instead... I always insure to fold the bottom horizontally then fold the sides vertically. I can guarantee a better lift with that. So happy we can always help each other!!!

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much!

[@mikaanderson1690]

100% agree. You need that extra incubation for a better lift.

[@redw.2452]

Thats so nice what a sweet comment and I work with native american long hair mostly and also a level 1 to 2 and they wanna go golden and caramel tones so thank u for your tips as well

[@JM-sv8xx]

it looks beautiful although j see the conditioner diluted the lighter to process and the top of the balayage is orange ..

[@MrzBadaBing]

just want to thank you so much for your videos...i don't think people realize how much work it takes to do videos on youtube, sharing info for FREE, editing, most likely your models don't pay for the service...i appreciate you so much !

[@JamieDana]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear it's been helpful!

[@idorujackie]

Thank you for showing a technique for asian hair. I have asian hair and I had a stylist tell me Balayage is for blondes and that she didn't like using Olaplex. Needless to say, I stopped going to her.

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@anndam__]

I have asian hair... and my stylist just did my hair balayage. She probably doesn't want to do your hair. Go and find a new stylist who will do your hair when you wanna get done.

[@anastaciathomas1215]

She was a lazy stylist.

[@teteworld8353]

Anyone who behaves like that, just don't go, cuz from my experience, ppl who are not nice to you will no wayyyyyyyy in hell properly do your hair.

[@guacgirl]

She probably isnt confident to do dark asian hair. Possibly intimidated because dark asian hair isnt easy to lighten. (but it can be done obviously) it takes skill and special know-how to work on that hair type. Feel grateful that she told you upfront instead of doing a bad job and taking your money. Just find someone who has experience with ethnic dark hair with evidence in their portfolio. As a stylist i can tell you working on caucasian hair vs. Ethnic hair is different, some stylist are not up for the task.

[@dreamingviolet8027]

Why is watching you fold those so perfectly is so satisfying..😆 Her hair looks so pretty.

[@conniesuther9421]

Beautiful thank you for all your videos they have been upping my game , after over 30 years in the business love that we have people like you out there to help keep us up to the new stuff.

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much Connie! I'm so happy to hear these have been helpful!

[@alphqiu]

hair look beautiful . i would recommend thinner section and paint closer to the root and using toner to color melt the top for perfect transition .for more graduated look

[@sleazybizniz]

I had anxiety watching her grab so much hair lol smaller sections would’ve made a huge difference!

[@karinaluis3415]

I just started cosmetology a few months ago so I’m still learning about cuts and color but your videos are so helpful!!!

[@marissapowser1755]

This is so beautiful!! The best foilayage for dark hair tutorial I’ve seen so far 😍

[@M0ka3108]

Love to see some Asian hair! Thanks for your clear tips and intructions, you would make an awesome teacher!

[@haleyalvarado2906]

I've watched all your foilayge videos repeatedly and I couldn't completely wrap my head around the technique at first. I tried it and it was ehh but after some time I've gone back and watched some more and it clicked! I did it on a client and it was SOOOOO GORGEOUS I was highly impressed on the turn out, thank you so much for sharing this technique! I'm hooked on framar foils, brushes, and the acidic milk rinse from biolage

[@DonnaMaldona]

[@JamieDana]

I'm so happy to hear you loved this. Thanks for watching!

[@rachellefinseth3073]

Really beautiful, but a root shadow or mids toner would help tremendously with the red/orange spots where the lightener and conditioner meet.

[@aleeasieben9374]

Rachelle Finseth i agree!

[@TylerMonroe15]

Agree

[@jaimeross3200]

Agreed.

[@teasi9671]

I agree to. The ends are beautiful but transition is still to much warm

[@JamieDana]

I totally understand what you are saying, there will always be a little bit of warmth in the transition from dark to blonde pieces even without this conditioner method. But unfortunately, the footage makes those pieces look more brassy than how it looked in real life. If it was that orangey in real life, I wouldn't have let my client walk out and I would have absolutely done a dark toner to counteract the warmth. Thanks for watching my video!

[@seloveheart]

So beautiful!! Thanks for sharing doll !! 💕😍

thanks for share, beautiful work result

[@J-G2023]

I love watching your videos! I wish I could become a client of yours!! Quarantine made me do some crazy things. I had the most beautiful long blonde balayage that took me about 4 sessions to achieve! My hair was not damaged either since I did invest on going to a professional who specializes in balayage! Mostly because I had been dying my hair black for years is why it took so many sessions. But recently I had an itch to chop my hair just a little bit past my shoulders and dye it to a really dark brown almost black(I did not use box dye just to clarify!). Now I’m regretting it! So I haven’t dyed it anymore and it is beginning to fade to a brown. When the salons open again and it’s safe to go back I’m definitely going back to my girl to start the process over again. I feel like she’s low key going to be mad 😂

[@xxcarolxannexx]

I did this on my sister. It looks so good.

[@ashloudon]

Yassss. I really enjoy your work as a new stylist I can really see your amazing work. But I am always afraid of the brasiness area where the lightener meest the base color is always stubborn to the toners. Why I know we are trying to save the root shadow. Placement is just amazing
