Just love how you don't complicate the procedures, nor are you loud , as it is the norm these days . You are a breath of fresh air and a true blessing for hairdressers like me who do not have the means to upgrade their skills .Education at its best.

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Thank you Liz so pleased that I can be of assistance to you upgrading your skills 😁👍🏻

[@rain3743]

I know right? I worked around so many loud hairdressers, that I now insist on working alone in my own suite. I love hairdressers, but some of them i can live without.

[@kathyhamblin7251]

Trying to get used to living in Pompeii 2020. Posting inappropriate comments and trying to sleep at night...the norm. Also trying to decide how to fix this greenish mushroomy blonde I’ve “accomplished”. Yeeaaahhh it’s a thing I did(n’t do on purpose).

[@ariasworld9991]

Woooooowww 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@armpouniotis]

Yes, it is a total salon friendly work ! Excellent on every aspect ! This is what every hairdresser should do ! Not complicated procedures to impress the viewers ! I thought that you would do a root shadow and leave it for 5 - 10 mins, (just to "break" the warm tones) but actually you wanted to lift the root area by 1 - 2 levels ! Am i right ? ok, I watched the video again, and you emulsify the root area to get rid of the previous toner. Then you used the 7t toner on the roots and 9t on the mids and ends. Now, I got it !

[@rebelle-de-jour]

Great Job! I love your way to do the Root stretch and after learning this technic i use it every time i need it in the salon. Everything you have said about the duration and type of treatment and the prices is so true. My boss keeps scolding me about the long time it takes to do this kind of bleaching and color balance. She keeps saying "oh, a glossing only takes 5 to 10 minutes", Anja you take too long .. "but my clients are enthusiastic and the result is great. I don't understand some bosses. They should keep the prices longer adapt to the treatment and do not constantly put the hairdressers under time stress, because a bad result costs them more money and time.

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Yes exactly my sentiments entirely just charge for time rather than a service it is way more cost-effective as a business to charge for time over an individual service anyway. And ultimately you’ll get better results as you say 👍🏻

[@tiffanycrystalclear]

Is your boss a HD? A toner can Frim 5 to 20+ mins . She needs to increase her prices . Most pics comes from IG perfect and unreal world, takes 3+ hrs depends on many factors. I treat these jobs as color corrections and heart ❤️ surgeries, I live in Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 and at my location plus my expertise on the matter, starts @ 400$ +

[@rebelle-de-jour]

@@tiffanycrystalclear yes she is a hairdresser. But she learned in her mother's hair salon and took over him. That means that she has never worked anywhere else and has hardly attended any further training seminars.

Thanks for sharing the technique and sharing what shade toners you use!

[@slrcouture]

This is amazingly beautiful. After watching over 100 videos, your technique and teaching is by far the best and you respond to comments which is a plus. I do not subscribe to channels who ignore comment questions. I really want a root stretch look. My hair is virgin natural level 3 but I want my root a level 1 and my ends level 6,9,10. I want a nice blend. I don’t have access to shades eq. Only Wella products. Can you please help me with the colors and bleach I need? Thank you in advance. I’ve been watching videos for a month trying to get this down before I do my hair which I’m confident I can do after watching a lot of your videos. You are the best color instructor on KZbin.

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Thank you very much for your comment I massively appreciate all the comments that I made on the channel if you want some more concise advice it is probably best to send me a DM on Instagram @thelifeofhair1

[@slrcouture]

@@TheLifeOfHair Ok. Thank you 😊

[@tiffanycrystalclear]

Do you shampoo the toner off or simply just rinse it out ? I use SEQ too and usually shampoo my toners out. Then I treat the hair with R chemistry. New to Redken transfer from AvedA. 😏

[@achrafsaberbjj2690]

Its amazing i really love it but which color you use? I mean the reference

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Hi thank you very much it was Redken shades EQ 09t Off the top of my head I did mention in the video towards the end

[@JBNE21]

What toner would use to blend larger roots (base 6) into ash blonde

[@Freesingskills19]

omg, i love root stretches and so glad we have that in our arsenal. it adds so much interest and dimension. this was a stunning example! james, when i checked out your toning info, for your favorite brown it showed EQ gloss. what did you actually mean? thanks

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Yes I am a massive fan of that stretching it is a revolutionary technique in my book! Just a quick question I’m not exactly sure what do you mean by the toning info where were you looking sorry

[@Freesingskills19]

@@TheLifeOfHair haha if you click on 'show more' at the top of this video, you list your favorite tools, etc., and you show a list of toners you use for various color enhancement/correction. for some reason, your favorite brown toner shows an EQ clear gloss when you click on the link. never mind, it's 6NB brandy. i didnt look at the actual listing, but only the photo of EQ. it's there...sorry about that.

[@TheLifeOfHair]

@@Freesingskills19 No worries thanks for clarifying

[@dolcevita713]

If it’s due to length of a video. You can do part 1 and part 2 to show all process and technique. We will watch them believe me. Btw did you have the chance to do a video on toning brassy level 7 and 8 to cool beige blonde. I’m trying to perfect my toning but when I do it the ash overpowers the blonde. Thanks!

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Yes I have got plans for the future to do longer more in-depth episodes don’t worry lots happening in the background at the moment working hard to bring you guys fresh new interesting content. I haven’t managed to make a video about Toning level 7/level 8 hair yet but I will

[@trinawebb1705]

Do you use clear in your formula? When I use the T it pulls dark! Then I clear it out and don't get the toning results I'm looking for.

[@jeanmc73]

Wat colour did u use

[@EliasPerez173]

Hey beautiful it’s been a minute 😘

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Hi Elias ✌🏻

[@leoloewi2972]

hi James good job but if i seen right, the ends seemed one step to overprocessing . :-)

[@jwhomeschool]

Technique side all the way please. Also would you say redken shades come out dark or true to colour? They have started selling them in salon services am definitely interested in giving them a try

[@TheLifeOfHair]

I would say that Redken shades EQ is bang on level it looks very dark whilst it is processing but this is because it has a direct die in it that looks a bit scary when it oxidises but just trust it

[@jwhomeschool]

Hi Jame, her root is beached or only the end? What level of end that 9t turn to silver ashy ? On video, it looks like the roots was her natural and the end level 9 ( stil yellow) right Jame? TY how long you put 9t on end? Sometime I saw the processes too dark in 5 mins I washed them out :)

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Hi Amanda just to let you know this is the toning phase of a colour correction that I did on this lady the roots are bleached and there is a 7T root shadow applied that I have stretched into 9T It was processed for 25 minutes Redken shades EQ processing time is 20 minutes but I wanted it a little bit deeper and a little bit more silvery than it looked after 20 minutes so I left it on for an extra five

[@TheLifeOfHair]

Yes it will look very dark when it processes It’s because it’s partly direct die and oxygenated dye

[@btw410]

@@TheLifeOfHair hi JAme, I tested 9T on level 9 for 25 mins it is darker than your pic. am I doing wrong? in another case , If I lifted hair to level 8 (gold) and I want a ashy blond level 8, what should I use to get that tone? thanks much much

[@louisefrost4577]

[@hekmatwassif7085]

I am not familiar with that brand I will try to use their color

[@rain3743]

I include toner in my charge fo highlights because I feel like it needs it, and I don't want them having it as an optional add-on. I charge a lot because they get the best quality and I don't have to nickel and dime them for a result. When I put 09T on yellow, it goes green, so I don't know how to gauge how much is "enough violet" to cancel that yellow. Now that I think about it, it was applied to dry hair. Does that make the difference? I am afraid to add extra Violet and have it end up looking too violet.
