BALAYAGE, FOILYAGE, OMBRE - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? & WHAT TO ASK YOUR HAIRSTYLIST FOR
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ค. 2024
- Breaking down some common hair color techniques to give you a better understanding of what they are, how they work, and what results they'll create. Hopefully now you'll be a little less confused when talking with your hairstylist and explaining what you want!
Keep in mind, like I mentioned in the video, these terms mainly refer to the TECHNIQUE and not so much the final result. A hairstylist that specializes in color (particularly these "lived in" low maintenance colors) will know the best technique to use for your specific hair and hair goals.

Your candle/light in the background also matches your orange blouse and nails too!! 😊
Finally a video on this topic that actually makes sense to the layman person wanting to get these services done! I have just gone through 6 other videos before watching this one and I can finally stop scrolling cause I know what I want and what to ask for, and the difference btwn each! **sigh of relief**
When you asked us to subscribe at the end, I'm just like "girl you DESERVE it!!!" Thank you for your explanation on all that and tips. You explained everything so well!
Orange looks BOMB on you sis! 😍🔥
Thank you!!
You’re welcome!
Please keep in mind, these are general descriptions of some popular terms/techniques. Each one can slightly vary depending on the stylist and where you live. As you can see from the photos, a lot of these techniques will give a very similar end result, so don't get too caught up in the terminology - let your hairstylist worry about that part ;)
ALSO - I forgot to mention "shadow root" - but that's basically the same thing as a root smudge.
Sam, Are you a hair colorist by any chance? I’ve gone plat blonde over 15 times in the last 20 years, never a single incident... ever.
Until last time, my hair was totally natural dishwater brown I don’t take any vitamins or hormones my technician had a complete blank beautiful healthy pallet to work with and her processing did not work! It started to work, but was blotchy so she put a toner that made it go back to brown! I ended up walking out only two shades lighter brown than I was before and she blamed my hair?
I tried to make my point to her that I don’t pay for experiments I paid to be blonde and she still blamed my hair and wouldn’t do anything to fix it or even give me a discount on an appointment to fix it.
Who is right here? This just happened to me a month ago
Omg THANK YOU!!! I love your video and everything that you went over! I’ve been trying to understand about all the different terminology for so long! I also love the tips that you have for when looking at a hair we like and really questioning ourselves what exactly do we like about it! Precious tips! 🙌🏼😍 thank you!!!
I'm feeling empowered with the information you've shared. Thank you, you're the ISH!
Wow. This was incredibly helpful! I loved your advice to bring pictures and pay attention to what exactly we like about the picture (colors, placement etc). Thanks so much!
These videos are sooo helpful! They’re making me feel more confident and prepared for cosmo school in a few months! 💙
Happy to hear that!! :)
This was so informative! Thank you so much, everything you explain is so easy to understand and Im so upset that this doesn't have more views
Aw, thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful :)
Thank you for this video I really needed it, it really broke down the terms for me I’m currently going to cosmetology school right now and I watch your videos all the time! notification bell on to make sure I never miss any of your videos love you keep up the good work💕
That's so awesome!! Thank you for watching :) Glad you're finding these videos helpful!
Sam Vay School of Hair... is what I'm gonna call it, I've learned more watching your videos than I did in beauty School...
Thank you for making this video. This has been very helpful for me who is getting their hair done for the first time!
Yes, thank you for educating us. It’s so confusing. Thank you for sharing 😍🙏🌻
Love this girl reviewing everything I’ve learned in school so far!! On point!! 9 months to go for me😬
Good luck!
Absolutely Amazing video, thank you. Better than being taught at cosmetology school xxx
I was curious about the terms you say in your videos/storytimes, so this video was great!
I love the orange theme. 🧡🍊 That's the color of the sacral chakra. You're definitely creative and educate others with your knowledge.
I experimented with some hair lightener with 20V and hair color 2.5 to 3 levels higher than my hair to create teasylights as a cost-cutting way to add color without tinting my whole head, and it worked nicely.
Since my hair is curly, the different soft rays of hair color work to my benefit in order to create a soft beach inspired look, especially when the sun shines.
Sometimes you have to work with the elements of your natural hair rather than forcing it to do your will in order to chase trends that can ultimately harm your hair with time. I speak from experience.
Not everyone is meant to have a perfectly blonde balayage. But maybe you rock a raven blue black, cherry wood, or metallic balayage that becomes your signature look. In the end, it's more important to be memorable than hip. 💇♀️✂️
Perfect way to start my day ! 🖤
This is so helpful! Thank you, you deserve so much more subscribers💕
Juana Palacios thank you! I’m glad you found the video helpful! :)
This color looks so so good on your 🔥
You broke it down 👌 sis!!!
Thank you so much for clearing this up for me!
Thank you Sam your explanation was amazing very helpful 💖💖
As a fellow cosmetologist I really wish you would have mentioned price with these techniques. I'm really sick of these teenaged girls coming in with these trendy inspo pictures of $300 services with $80 in their pockets.
Haha true!! I don't know why I didn't think to mention that! I actually was planning to do a video on salon prices very soon though, so any suggestions of things I should mention in that would be appreciated! :)
Danielle Moxley well if you’re getting any of the techniques in this video they’ll be using bleach. And if you’re going to go to a salon and expect top quality work then you need to expect the price to follow their skill level and art work. If you wanna risk a school to save some bucks then do it. But you get what you pay for
@@kaitlyncochran7379 I agree.
@@daniellemoxley2585 ok so that discount chair school hair life cooked my fukkin hair off in my early 20s I was a waitress and couldn't afford a real stylist . The procedure was 2 simple peekaboo highlights on my underside . .. fried 2 chucks of my hair out and the girl was being supervised .! Good thing I have a ton of gorgeous hair u couldn't tell . But now I pay my stylist because I can afford it and 2 I tip her 20 % on a 250 + session and pay that ish in cash because she's worth it .. and I pre-book
What would cost 300? Most people are not doing things to their hair that should cost over 150.
love this color on you 💟 thanks for the video!
Thank you :)
hey, i just came upon your channel but god bless you and your super pretty! and this helps me out a lot because im getting my first balayage this friday and im getting a darker tone added too my hair + a haircut too so this helps, because im lowkey stressing about it lmao but this helps so thank you!
Thank you for this video!! ❤️❤️ now I know that what I most wanted was babylights 😁
SUPER helpful!! Thank you 😊
This video was so helpful! Thank you!
This was very helpful, thank you!
yes thank u i just got an ombre done
I had a client today who literally fresh box dyed her hair BLACK that morning and put it on her ends, she wanted “carmel” highlights. There was a language barrier between her and I and it was difficult to explain what I wanted to say. But all I have to say is thank GOD for Redken Flash Lift pH bonder & shades EQ and FINE FINE FINE sub-sections!!! She lifted unevenly but to about a level 6-7 with 30 volume and minimal breakage. This is not always the case I just got lucky lol
I LOVE YOU FOR THIS VIDEO OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG !!!! Thank youuuu! ❤️
ahh ur nails and outfit match yesss 😍😂
She knew.
Very helpful. Thanks a lot.
Your awesome girl! Thank you❤
Extremely HELPFUL !!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!❤️🌹👏🏻
Super helpful video 👍🏼
This video is so informative!
Which of these techniques do you think would work well for virgin hair that is looking for low maintenance haircare? I always thought I wanted to do a balayage since I heard it's not supposed to damage the hair as much. Now after hearing all this new terminology, I am curious for styles like babyhighlights how much more or less damaging is it to the hair?
great and useful explanation , thank you
By the way...love your videos!
Such a good video!!! Thankyouuu
thank you this helped so much!! x
And neon orange candle lol 😍
Great video you are to the point real and didn't make any dumb faces at the camera!!!! I am one chair session into my blonde lightening collaboration of highlights from dark natural !
Very well explained ♥️
I’m a client not a stylist and this has been so helpful thank you. I’ve made the mistake of rocking up at the local salon and asking for some of these things!
This was really helpful tq sam
Excellent ❤
Very useful video thank you
Informative thanks!!
what a useful video😍❤👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I would love to see more simple hairstyle tutorials from you in the future! My mother in law always has me do her hair for special occasions but I literally don't even do my own hair LOL. But I watch videos and try my best anyway because it's fun. I almost always do some sort of curly half updo for her.
Great explanation
Hiiiiii Sam!!!! I have a question because these hairdressers in my town don't seem that they are being honest with me. I went to a few places with a questions about my hair because I want it bleached blonde.. Okay so my hair is naturally brown and i box dyed it blonde like a year ago so it's half way grown out. And it never came out blonde btw more like a very light brown. Now i want to get it professionally dyed blonde at the salon but my hair is very dry and damaged so do you think it's a good idea to bleach it? Also i have sensitive hair. i got bleached highlights one time and my hair was falling out and was stretching like elastic. The hair dressers I've asked don't seem to be concerned with what I've told them and said they shouldn't have no issue. What do you think? Should i just stay away from the bleach??
Thank you
What Technique do you recommend to blend grey hair on dark Brown hair ?
Neon orange shirt nails and the ambiance coming from the candle is orange as well...
most of those were used on my hair! i was so confused as to thinking iwas getting lighter every single time i went lol no, its toner or technique that makes a blonde balayage different.
Thankyou
very nice.. thank you 😘
So helpful
Any suggestions to blend highlights at the root, they came out to stripey and to blonde. The rest of the hair looks good.
Omg thats reallyyy good but i live in egypt and hairstylists there are trash 😂😂they wont even what is balayage.like ughhh why can’t i just fly to you 😩💖💖💖💖💖
Where did you get this sweater top from? It’s perfffff
I think it’d be cool if you did a video where you reacted to your old hair coloring videos now that you’re a licensed stylist ! Either a reaction video or like a “would I still do this?” Video 🤷🏼♀️
Yesss! A few people actually have suggested that before. It's on my list of video ideas, so I'll get to it soon! I'm kinda nervous though haha
Don’t be nervous! Lol just keep it light hearted & fun ! I know I used to use or do things totally wrong or even just differently before I got my esthetics license, but now I know better & so do my clients 🤗
Hello. How do I ask a stylist, where I can view there work on another clients? Thank you in advance.
My hairstylist, where I went once and never will again.., really fucked up my hair... I wanted a nice dark brown (my natural hair color) to blond blend and I showed her a picture.. She didn't even talk to me about what I want before she started, I showed her a picture and she said "oh yeah that's a balayage" and started... That should have been the first red flag (But this was my first time in a salon, bc we have our own hairstylist, a friend of my mom, but she isn't specialized in those types, so I went somewhere else) then when she was done with the balayage, I liked it, but only bc my hair was nice and fresh. (i payed 150€) Then after a few days I realized that that wasn't what I wanted, bc the dye was tooo far down (2nd red flag) Then after a week I decided to go there again to let it get fixed (which was a huuuge mistake) I told her again what I wanted, I trusted her which was a huge mistake as well. So she made the balayage again but started nearly at my roots TOO FAR UP!!! It looked nice again after she was finished, but only bc I hadn't seen it that good. I ended up paying 50€ for conditioning, drying, etc.. So I spend 200€ for regretting that I even dyed my hair in the first place, bc it looks bad. Those blond highlights aren't anywhere near blended nicely into my natural dark hair and when my hair is wet it looks like ramen inbetween WHAT I DON'T WANT AT ALL bc I want my hair to even look good when it's wet, bc it's nearly summer and I will be in the pool very often. The picture that I showed her and my result look as far apart as Europe and the US... And now I don't know what to do, I don't want to go back and I don't want to leave my hair like that, bc I don't really like going out in public looking like that. And I want to feel confident, bc I am a waitress and am constantly around people. I think I'll go to another BUT GOOD hairstylist, explain her what I want and how the other one fucked up my balayage/or whatever technique that picture shows and will pay even more for my hair, but when the result will finally end up being how I want it to be, I am willing to pay that price.
Moral of the story: Do your research, when it comes to hairstylists, etc!!!!
(Excuse my English, my first language is German🙈💕)
I wanna get a light purple balayage
I love this video..subscribe..definitely.
What's the real difference between sombre and ombre? Some hair salon on ig put a pic on their ad saying that's ombre, and they can do it for $XX, only to backtrack when i asked and say that's not ombre, and it'll cost $XXX 😐
From what I always see, sombre is somewhere in between an ombre and balayage... but again, the terminology isn't really that important if you just bring in a photo of the look you want. As far as prices go, you can't just say "the hair in this photo will cost X amount" because it all totally depends on each individual client. Everyone has a different starting color, different amount of hair, different hair length, etc. So the price comes down to the amount of time and product that's needed for YOU specifically. Just keep that in mind!
This helped so much! Thanks for this video, I'm def subscribing!
Nice lipstick color..can you list it?
Why do I feel like the pics she showed for “Teasylights” looked like regular highlights? 👀 someone wanna explain
Please select color for me indian skin tone long hair and wavy
Where's your salon?
I'm just planning to dye my virgin hair a supercool funky color but I've no clue how I'm gonna tell the hair dresser what I want 😐
God I'm tense
HELP! Are you a hair colorist by any chance? I’ve gone plat blonde over 15 times in the last 20 years, never a single incident... ever.

Who is right here? This just happened to me a month ago
Unfortunately, there's so many factors that are involved with color (especially with lightening) so I can't make any assumptions without being there and seeing your hair and watching what she did. Does this stylist specialize in blondes? How did you find her? Did you do research and look at her portfolio before deciding to go to her? Did she do a thorough consultation at the beginning and explain the process? Did she promise you that you were going to leave with platinum hair that day? All I can say is at least you're lighter than what you started with and (hopefully?) weren't left with damage. I would find a blonde specialistic next time, and hopefully with one or two more appointments you'll get your goal color.
Thanks Sam!
She was referred by an an acquaintance and works at a fairly decent salon in a high-end town.
I guess my real question is since I know that my hair is not the problem is it normal to keep having to pay for extra sessions to get your hair lighter and lighter?
I know my hair can lighten because it was almost platinum blonde before she put the toner back on it.
Typically going platinum does require multiple sessions depending on your natural color, but considering your hair isn't that dark to begin with and was virgin hair, it doesn't sound like there's a reason why you couldn't have achieved it in one session. I'm not sure what she meant by "blaming your hair." And if it was blotchy, that typically would only happen if you have old color left in your hair or some type of mineral build up, or if her application was uneven. When is the last time you colored your hair?
Luckily, toner isn't permanent, so it'll eventually fade and get lighter.
My hair was untouched for 6 years. She blamed my hair. I’ve gone plat over 15 times, always worked first time, no issues, no damage etc.
Like.... if you can’t do my hair, you probably shouldn’t be touching hair... THATS how easy my hair is. It does anything you want.
What product can lighten this toner? Nothing extreme! But like a shampoo or rinse you’d recommend? This crap hasn’t lightened up AT ALL unfortunately.
She texted me a few hours ago and told me she was canceling my appointment now. She’s a coward who can’t even handle a very kind client expressing what they want.
Sorry but she’s a dipshit without people skills, class, or common sense. Luckily we have yelp reviews!
Maybe it's just me but all those after photos apart from ombre look the same to me
Exactly. That's kind of the point... A lot of these terms are just referring to the technique. :)
So happy to have found this vid. I have what I consider a #2 hair color, darkest brown before black, it has never been colored, and now that I am starting to see a few greys, I am considering getting my first color in my life....And I don’t know where to begin! I am guessing a foilyage?
Make a video on how to tell your hair dresser what color you want 😂😂😂

@@styledbysamvay God bless you lady❤️❤️ thankyouuu!!
The thing is that these looks look better on a wavy hair not straight
Teasylights sound painful
OMG I knew this woman that'd bleach all the hair and then go back in and do the lowlights... It looked really ridiculous 🤦
