I’m not a cosmetologist. I don’t do anything pertaining to hair. I just love watching blonding videos. Who’s with me on this?! I can’t be the only one.

[@JamieDana]

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

[@leannevanzessen3951]

me too, although i’m already naturally light blonde, it still is cool to see how making hair blonde works hahah

[@mlborella]

I'm with you!

[@emiliadonnelly1085]

I finally channelled my inner Jamie Dana and foiled backwards on my guest, the seamless effect was beautiful and surprisingly effortless!!! Thanks for all your tips and tricks. Much love to you girly!

[@JamieDana]

I really wish that the foiling edited at 4:18 wasn't skipped. I was really looking forward to watching that. Really great technique. Thank you.

[@emmmilyyy]

Wow!!! Colour is incredible I really appreciate how well you explained it all too!

[@emilytroxler827]

You are so amazing I feel like when I was in cosmetology school and even when I had been in a few different salons everyone foiled the same way or takes offense to someone asking for tips and tricks!! I am so thankful for your videos they have been helping me give my blonde clients better results!

[@MrsSkofod]

Beautiful!! Adding in pearls to toners is such a game changer!

[@JamieDana]

So true! Thanks for watching!

[@DayDay0622]

Im obsessed with your foil pattern. Youre absolutely right about the 2 to 3 small foils in the temple area. Makes a huge difference. Youve given such great explanations and demonstrations and it helped me so much. I never struggled with foils but these little tips was deff a game changer. Thank you

[@mamispapis]

I love your tutorials!! I’ve been out of the hair game for a while but recently had friends and family ask for me to do their hair so I searched how to highlight videos and yours came up. Now when I do anything I watch you first then I feel like I have the know and confidence to do the job! Thank you so much!! 💗

[@akhairandmua]

I just graduated cosmetology school and my best friend has super blonde hair and this video helped me learn some new things to try on her!!

[@bigbirdbirdbird]

i strive to be able to place my foils so effortlessly close to the scalp-and to get them to stay. talent right there

Lily Fawn exactly! I’ve been meaning to try this technique on my hair for the longest time but it’s insanely difficult to do it myself 😭

[@kimberleypatrick1225]

@@vvv7698 the trick is..take your time...dnt plan ANYTHING for the entire day..I have super long hair...and this is great for a rainy day project...HOURS. but it is possible to do it urself.

It is just awesome to watch ur videos and learn from them as a new stylist I get discouraged often but then I find my light at the end of the day by reflecting watching ur videos and you enlight and encourage me to keep learning and keep going...😍😍😍😍💜💜💜

[@squigglove]

Definitely have to try foiling backwards!!! I hate standing in front of the client because even though I'm tall I still have to lean over. Gonna try this!

[@joyannsurface5775]

I used this technique on a client and she said I nailed the color! Made my day!😁

[@JamieDana]

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

[@brittanybohm9945]

Your hairline placements and tips are much much much needed!! Especially with baby hairs. I ALWAYS get stumped around the hairline. You explained everything so perfectly and made it so much easier for me. Thank you!! 🙌

Every highlight video makes me realise more and more I need Jamie to do my long hair....I am in the UK tho' so a bit tricky and even more so with covid.. love your skills soooo much. ... One day when we have normality again please come to my home in the UK and we can video your transformational work. x

[@madisonfrancesbailey5740]

This is perfection exactly what I’ve been looking for!

[@DanteVelasquez]

I'm not really a fan of pale blondes but that was a great job. Seamless touchup. shows how what you were saying about detailing is all true. People who don't like detailed work shouldn't be stylists because the detail is necessary here or you won't get results like these. It drives me crazy sometimes lol but its worth it for the end result and then you charge appropriately.

[@JamieDana]

Thanks for watching, Dante!

[@stephanievalentine121]

I've been doing hair for 19 years and I foil backwards. Always have. Mainly because I'm 5ft but you're right it helps get tighter placement.

I'm so glad I found your channel. You're a great teacher. You explain things so well. I like what you said in another video about your time and not to get discouraged about how long services may take you. I've always struggled with that and thinking I had to do a whole highlighting service in like an hour. Lol. It's refreshing to watch someone who is willing to take the time to explain things and in a way that is easy to understand and is willing to do this to help others.😊

I'm so happy to hear this was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!

[@evvy21]

I love your work. You’re a very inspirational hairdresser. I have a question how do you prevent bleeds from your foil or foil slipping? Every so often my foils leave a bleed or line of demarcation and I want to stop this from happening.

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much for watching! You want to make sure you secure your foil but also your lightener may expand! It takes a lot of practice but you'll get it!

[@rachelmcmillan7741]

Jack Winn taught me to dog ear the top corner of my foils and then fold. Helps with slippage and if you use a lightener like Brilliant lightener, no swelling, it almost completely eliminates spotting!!

[@faithtoler3952]

Jack Winn Colorists Rachel McMillan who’s the brilliant lightener by? I’ve been using one from joico but I’d love one that doesn’t swell

[@sloanssalon3073]

You should try Framar board to the bottom section. I love to use them to the hard parts.

Omg, Jamie...beautiful job! You're amazing! 💕

[@JamieDana]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

[@tigen9]

I can't believe some of those foils didn't slip while clipping (which would cause spotting). I feel like if I got that close and clipped/pulled that tight I would get spotting. This is amazing

[@vianeyperez2173]

Only KZbinr I have my notifications on for! I won't miss any of you videos! I've learned so much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! :)

[@kendratanner8707]

question? At the sink are you using olaplex #2 for approx 10 mins, toner for approx 10 mins and the acidic milk rinse for approx 10 mins? I was just trying to calculate how much time it actually takes at the sink. If your answer is yes to my question then your video on "charging your worth" rings true in the fact that your spending 30-35 just at the sink rinsing the color. :)

[@JamieDana]

That's almost right! Time will vary depending on the toner, 5 minutes with Olaplex 2 and 5 minutes using Acidic Milk Rinse

[@burmesejade4080]

Love watching your video's Jamie....and yes, i tried the foiling backwards and i def found it much easier on myself!! thanks for the great technique tips, lots of love from Australia, Jo

[@danab6226]

I love your videos! Soooo helpful and I have a possibly silly question, how do you address clients that move around while you are trying to foil? Your clients sit so well lol i can't seem how to address this silly little thing without feeling bossy or rude i hate it. Thank you in advance!

[@JamieDana]

Haha! That's always tricky. I usually tell them to try to keep their head still and then I say, "If you keep moving your head, it'll mess up the color ;)" And then, I just keep moving their head back to where I need it. Most clients get it. And for those who don't, you just have to be stern with them because it really can mess up their color. Hope that helps!

[@danab6226]

@@JamieDana it does! I never thought if it that way, clearly saying why it's important instead if just asking them to not move lol makes so much sense i new i just needed an outside of my head view! Thanks so very much! Also, Love your video in prices and knowing your worth and i believe another video that you suggested trying out another salon. I'm going to a high rated salon local to me next wk for a blowout to learn some tips & tricks. Please keep making those videos as well they do not go unnoticed!

[@DanteVelasquez]

I tell them in a firm voice to stop moving, and I always start the service by telling them they shouldn't move their head or it can mess up the color. I also move their head back gently when I need to and remind them every time. They are usually apologetic about it.

[@helengarbenis5992]
