God,my dreams of having my own salon,or even renting a chair,because the last place i worked they would have given me 15 minutes to do this😒 like there is no way!!! Ughhh Thanks so much for this informative video 😊😁
Make it Happen Haley I would say unless you want the responsibility of staff then go chair rental and use social media to get yourself busy the possibility is endless for self promotion these days 😁👍🏻
Thank you so much about mentioning the bit about social media. People boasting about spending hours on one person to push the envelope on a service. That 8 hours is also very costly!! Most clients can’t afford an all day session costing hundreds of dollars. Thank you for being realistic and practical
Absolutely my pleasure Jade yes who has the time of money to spend eight hours in the salon I don’t so I don’t think it’s realistic for me to promote techniques that are going to be done over the span of eight hours 👍🏻
Fantastic I have been using this technique for years so nice to see u do it as I do, meaning it makes feel better about it as I always felt like a cheat but clients always loved the natural way it grows out thank u James 😆
Tina never feel bad about the technique you use you are the professional here do what you need to get the job done don’t feel like you need to conform to the constraints of other peoples techniques 😁👍🏻
Not a licensed cosmetologist here… but just did this technique on my daughter and it was so much easier then foiling and it gave her such pretty blended highlights! Thank you 😊
I use the same board for both highlighting and lowlighting. I love the result and your client's hair is gorgeous! 💛 Curious about what bleach you used?
Another great video and fantastic advice for us stylists out here. Sometimes the pressure is high to perform miracles. It is good to know that we can stay confident in our advice to our clients. 🙏🏿
Fabulous intro James 🤣 a star in the making 😜 so the board ..... I wish I had watched you do this about 10'yrs ago when I tried one🙄 my one and only attempt that still gives me Nightmares 😳 of course I had No idea what I was doing and hence ended up with practically a full head of bleeds and blotches and an afternoon of "low lighting " 😜 fabulous result James you really are like the Harry Potter of the hair world 😝 thanks as always 🙏👍😊 Paul
Thank you for your comment yes it is true that if you do this on dark hair basis he will get orange results potentially not always in my experience you can push through the orange sometimes and get very yellow results anyway nevertheless it doesn’t mean to say you cannot use it on dark hair bases it just means that you need to be aiming for a warm end result if you want it copper highlights in someone’s dark hair or a caramel for instance then this technique would still be perfectly appropriate of which I use it all the time for that particular scenario on the shopfloor but I do appreciate where you’re coming from in terms of getting anything to light from a dark base
great board! you are like the Jamie Oliver of hair! lol so am almost retied stylist is salon at 15! anyway thx for keeping me up to date! Really enjoy you learning from , were did u get that board with the comb? My plastic board is almost 47 years old LOL!
Love this i actually thought of doing this a long time ago but didnt hv the confidence to trust myself...but James would it work with tint and the power lift bleach who is it by??
Haven’t even watched the whole vid yet but I know it’s going to be awesome 😊 and I always like your vids straight away before even watching because you are a talented amazing hair dresser 👍
I am not an Hairstylist and I don't habe straight/Wavy Hair. I have very thicc Curly Hair. I don't really know why i clicked in this but ..m it was very satisfying to watch! :)
New subscriber here🙋♀️ Could you use a clay lightner to do that🤔 I was just wondering cause we use redken at the salon and the only other option for lightner is powder and I would definitely be scared of transfering with that😬
Hi thanks for the subscribe, yes you could use clay lighting to do this technique play liner is superb to get the feeling of controlling your situation as well
I loved everything you said esp. The eight hour😬😳😂, I would like to know why you didn't want to put in some seven level low lights in that I know she had low lights naturally but why not put some more in it?
This has been my fave vid so far! I really loved and appreciated the discussion about being a people pleaser as a stylist and how to work with our clients when they come in with expectations inspired by social media. Thank you!!
Very nice. I really wish you would have parted the hair open during the reveal. It’s something I think I could use. Where do I get the board with teeth??
Yes I always think that after or sometimes during but as they are my clients and they are good enough to let me video them it’s sometimes hard to start rummaging in there hair 😁👍🏻
Thanks so much! I would love to use this in the salon. Which board did u purchase? There's a few on Amazon but not sure of quality then I saw the "Coo board" on behind the chair. Which do u suggest??
Superb I just bought a cheap on from salon services I generally buy cheap board because I find that even the more expensive ones the teeth brake off 👍🏻
I'm over a YEAR late to watch this video, but "BETTER late than NEVER" seeing it at all. WOW! That was AMAZING. James, where do I buy that Balayage board?
Ur videos are always fab and the technique is amazing however im feeling a reluctance to name the product used to lighten and i think thats key in this technique as more people would then feel confident to try, and the whole message of quick services may actually filter down better as we will have the confidence to try it. thanks for sharing xx
Thank you again for your amazing video. My hair is almost similar to Patricia except I have 50 %grey roots on the front and both sides of my face. I will follow your video to do the my dark roots (6ish )behind my ears to the back of my head. I have S. blonde 9 lift with 20 vol. only . Can I use 30 vol. but diff. brand? Could you please kindly help me how I should tackle the front and both side of my hair with 50% grey and what product
Fantastic and I hope it works out for you Lucy what I would say is if you’re thinking about mixing 30 volume from a different brand with the blonde nine level do that at your own risk it’s never advisable to mix peroxides from different brands with each other
As far as tackling The sides and the front hairline well without being out to actually see your front hairline or the side it’s tricky for me to say but I would imagine that you’ll be able to take it on exactly like he would be back or anywhere else preach this white hair as if it’s blonde hair so you just get a nice pale blonde on on the grey bits 😁👍🏻
Hi Pearl thanks for your comment Glad you liked the result I would love to know at what point in the video you thought I was rudely handling her hair ??
My career has nothing to do with hair and I watch these videos like my life depends on it
Loved it. Thank you for the reminder tip re: taking our clients on a journey, rather than all in one 8hr day!
You are very welcome 🙏🏻
Amazing 👏

My eye sees that and my brain thinks "There will be spots." But, no. I NEED that paddle.
Yes the paddle makes a lot of difference

Really enjoyed that video. Great quick and low cost option for the client. So glad I followed you.
Soooo beautiful!!!!! Such a great technique !! I’ve never seen it before!!
Wonderful glad you enjoyed it
SO great for an express service! Did you use regular lightener or was it a clay balayage lightener?
This is a fantastic express service and you can use both clay lighteners and blue powder bleach is for this particular technique
Fantastic I have been using this technique for years so nice to see u do it as I do, meaning it makes feel better about it as I always felt like a cheat but clients always loved the natural way it grows out thank u James 😆

Could you let me know which bleach you use plz
Not a licensed cosmetologist here… but just did this technique on my daughter and it was so much easier then foiling and it gave her such pretty blended highlights! Thank you 😊
What is the brand name of the bleach you used and what percentage of developer to bleach?
Redken power lift + 30vol 😁👍🏻
where to buy the paddle w a comb? thank u
Thank you for your message 🥺. Social media is so intimidating
Beautiful result. I have the same board and will now use it more often . What bleach did you use.

Hi James Can I ask so many questions from you if you do not mind. Jamie Melbourne Australia
Yes Jamie happy to answer a few questions if you want to ping them over to me maybe add me on Instagram @thelifeofhair1 It’s easier to chat on there
I use the same board for both highlighting and lowlighting. I love the result and your client's hair is gorgeous! 💛 Curious about what bleach you used?
What board is this?
@@Kew2TheTie I got this around 12 years ago. The one I have is made by Wella.
Where can I get that board..
@@pattimay2588 start at your your supplier. Online do a search for balayage board with comb or balayage board with teeth.
Hi Heather I used Redken Power Lift 1part plus 2 parts 30vol 😁👍🏻
Where can you find the board with teeth?
I bought mine at salon supplies 😁👍🏻
@@TheLifeOfHair haven't seen one of those since my first salon job, blast from the past!
You can get these boards from Wish.com.
At "Amazon ", The name is "Strähnenfärbekelle" (in german)

Thank you Paul very kind, oh no mate nothing worse. Maybe time to try it again 👍🏻😁
You need to warn ppl that this doesn’t work on ppl w dark hair and creates an orange mess.

Gorgeous end result I have just bought some of these paddles in different sizes can't wait to give them a go
Wicked enjoy using them
Where do I get the boarding you are using live the tutorial
Hi Susanne the board is from hedgehog
Great video as always mate.
Cheers Bro 😁👍🏻
It’s a very good technique, but I didn’t like the final color on the top
Glad you enjoyed the technique Gloria and that is the beauty of our industry is that it is an art form and we all perceive things differently 😁👌🏻
The Life Of Hair you are right!
Going to try this technique on a dolls head first 😂 but absolutely lovely 👏👏 x
Wonderful Jennifer hope it works out well for you and yes definitely practice it before you do it on your client hope you enjoy it
