It is a great work ! Once again a total salon friendly technique ! James doesn't give you secret techniques on reverse balayage ! He shows us how to do it, and then we just put our personal touch on it ! I totally agree that saturation is a key on colouring or bleaching hair. If we want to have satisfying results. we don't need to be like Scrooge ! James points that out in all of his videos ! Well done !
The technique is on point as always, but it’s the commentary and behind the chair insight that I so appreciate. It’s real and I’m always nodding along as you say it. And those who aren’t on LOH Patreon, get there! You won’t regret it!
I swear your uploads read my mind! I was in need of this! The gold additive is such a great technique to give that 7 a nice reflect and healthy vibrancy! Thanks again so much, you’re the best! :)
I love the way you explain things... so many stylists on your tube say things so complicated that don't make sense buy you always make sense and always make me say to my self "ah that makes sense" lol thank you so much
You did a phenomenal job on this correction, just seamless!! I was scratching my head over not putting the shades on the ends in the front but it was perfect! Love your educational videos, you are always spot on, Thank you for sharing with us 👏❤️🔥🔥
Oh my sooo beautiful! I'm one of those clients who was born with jet black coarse hair that turned blonde then dirty blonde. Started coloring it dark brown right outside of high school and now 17 years later I'm wanting to find out what my natural color is lol. I've always had black pieces woven throughout naturally. Love watching your videos. ❤
Wow Amber your hair sounds amazing I’ve never heard anyone’s hair changing colours so much. Sounds like to me that you don’t actually want one natural colour LOL. Good enjoy the videos thanks for the comment
@@TheLifeOfHair aww thank you so much. Lol what's the fun in just 1 color 😊 but at 36 and a lot of gray coming in I have decided to take the journey to find my natural hair color again after dying it for so long. Love watching your videos 😊 God Bless
Wow, what a fantastic transformation. You really know your stuff. I was nodding my head so much when you were talking about blondes going darker. It’s absolutely true. I really enjoyed this, thank you ☺️
Heyo! Would love to see a babylight/balayage technique on level 2 hair? I have always wondered how to properly color melt really dark hair, haven’t seen it done very often. Anyways, love your work! :3
Great work AGAIN!!! How would this shades EQ differ from using a permanent color with 10 volume? Since shades is a temporary color how will this color look within a month? Thanks for your wonderful videos I love them❤️
So shady cute isn’t a temporary colour it’s a dummy permanent which is halfway between a semi and a permanent so the long Jevity isn’t as long as permanent tent but this isn’t a bad thing as quite often people want to change their colours a lot more these days and have tonal changes as well So for me using a permanent just limits what we can do in the future hence why I like Shades EQ 👍🏻
Good evening James, after that I have missed your live session 😞 I have enjoyed watching your videos...... you have such a great advice for salon friendly techniques..... I really enjoy and love it 😍 So happy to discovered your channel...... Thank you 🙏
Wonderful thank you very much well it is wonderful to have you in the lives but it is also great to just have you in the comment section any questions you have please don’t hesitate to ask all the best James
I wish you could do my hair! I have an awful situation going on here because the person who did my hair just didn’t understand what I wanted TWICE. And I has photos of my own hair brilliantly done about 6 years ago when I lived in another country. Unfortunately you also live in another country and I have an awful hair situation going on and no clue of where to go to have it fixed. Your videos are awesome, thank you!
Excellent technique. I would remind all colorists to slow down and think 🤔 carefully when performing your initial analysis. If you are not familiar with the client’s hair history, test strands are a must! No one likes unpleasant surprises-clients will be grateful and trust you forever in the future. They also will never leave you for another colorist! This type of correction requires your highest skill and attention; allow yourself plenty of time and make sure the client understands this is as well. Under promise and over deliver. Having said all of that, be sure to charge a fee that is representative of your skill and time!
I love this. You have taught me so much. I have a quiet week coming up so I’ll be practicing all of these techniques on mannequins as I do need the practice since I mostly do elderly but when the few young ones come in I’ll have tools up my sleeve.
Exactly that great opportunity at this time of year to make a beautiful subtle soft blonde out of those really bright summer highlights personally this type of colour is one of my absolute favs 😁👍🏻
@@TheLifeOfHair your always very welcome James I'm trying to do a root shadow please help can I use 5n in demi I have heavy highlights but don't want green I can only get to Sally's beauty I've got more brown than blonde to cover my blonde currently is about level 9 some ten for sure hope you can advise me i have platinum protein filler and neutral protein filler thought I could mix the filler in my color on the neutral one anyway or put it directly on my roots for the root shadow
@@TheLifeOfHair and lol omg blonde is truly the crack cocaine of hair color for sure I fell out of my chair dying laughing when you said that I'm still belly laughing my face hurts from smiling so much you kill me !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💪💯💪💯
😁That is so true about blonds... i totaly agree with u james...as an asian with curly hair i even prioritised bleach instead of healthy curls ...... and once i go blond i can never go black 😉 lol
James that was a great video. Like the drag down tips. Great end result. I've not moved onto share a EQ though desperate to. Next visit to my suppliers. They have it just in last month. Like all the way you explain it As you do it.
I want to start by saying I love love love your channel I do have a question .for this video could I have done think weaves like you did threw out all four quadrants and then do a root TouchUp with a semi permanent color between the foils and done?! Im 3 years experience stylist fairly new hence my probably inexperienced question hahaha.
Very nice result,very nice technic..but i have a guestion..after 2-3 months the dark color will fade and come the under tones .. what ee should do after to correct it?
Absolutely fabulous James you've waved your "magic wand " again 😉 oh I know what you mean about "crack coke" blondes I recently used a level 8 on one of my lady's and you'd have thought I'd used blue black and that was just a sprinkling on top and sides🙄 I think sacrificing her newborn would have been less Traumatic for her😳 fortunately she managed to get used to going "dark"😳🙄🤣 thanks James fab as always stay well and Bat free😉🦇😁👍
Yes I’m glad that you agree with that statement is one of my favourites are using consultations all the time even if you just drop them down to a nine sometimes I feel like you’ve turned on Browne LOL Blondes ah 😆
Hello! Love your videos. Just wondered I work with wella but with your formula I understand why you would add gold tone, but with the violet / blue do you ever get worried the blue tinge will be left as the hair is so porous? I always worry on over processed hair, thanks
I have two questions, one can you do this on short hair, and two what shades would you use to make this ash blonde (dirty blonde) instead of ash brown?
Greatly done, is the result given by the Redken Shades gel like consistency!? Would a Dialight from Lorea make the hair darker and the Ash violet tone grab duller!?!
Thank you very much, Shades EQ is a good product for this but I can use any hair colour to achieve this L’Oréal Dialight will do it perfectly you just follow exactly the same principle glossy, satin, into Matt.
Always makes me laugh.. james atkinson 2020: you're a crack cocaine blonde 🤪 very true tho most clients go back to blonde from dark, although I was blonde for 14 years then went brown which matched my skin tone and eyes more! Beautiful colour so soft and effortless looking I need to try this out on someone thank you for another great video hope you and family are keeping well 😊👍
Hi I have a question about going from blond to dark for example from level 10 to level 6 Do I need to do pre pigmentation then the colour Also I’m using wella which colour do you suggest (level6)
Hi thank you for your question so if you’re going to go from level 10 to level six you will need to pre-pig/precolour you will need a level seven with either a beige gold or copper time depending on the end result you would like to achieve Beige will give you a cool end result, gold time will give you a neutral result copper will give you a warm result Hope that helps
Oh this is just perfect. Another technic that i Will be trying out soon myself. Love how blended it looks and how easy it is to just swipe down the color and tone the ends with light saturation 🥰👏🏻
You are so polished and accomplished James ! Thanks for sharing
