This video has helped me decide what I am going to do for my client, who has the same hair colour problem. Thank you x

I 100% agree with your sectioning, foil placement and spacing. Saturation is absolutely KEY. I am partial to 9 part sectioning.

Super natural results ...... love it 😍 and totally agree about starting at the back to rinse easily and not over processing the products too much...... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

When doing this kind of work I start with 10 vol, until I do the top section I use 20 vol so I don’t need to rinse. I don’t like rinsing, it’s messy and difficult to do thoroughly. Also I find when only doing regrowth, thin foils get me closer, thick foils are my go to when doing first time blonding or tipping the ends out to have more of a sturdy base. In this case i would have blurred the warm band with an 8 ash while all foils are in and after rinsing tapped the roots with the remaining demi to soften leaving the hairlines out. Your outcome was beautiful though!

Absolutely…you’re so right about lowlites… I feel exactly the same and I will avoid them as much as I can…. Love your content!

I agree 100% I love allowing their own natural color for dimension vs. over lightening and then adding artificial depth that fades funky

This was maybe the most informative and educational of all your videos, loved that you took the time to thoroughly explain not only what you were doing but also why. Thank you James, you’re the best 👏💖

Wonderful yes it will definitely make you quicker to work like this one thing I would mention is that its best if you work with wider foils in standard 90 to 100 mm wide foils work really well for this particular technique you do not have to split any of the back quadrant where the hair is at its widest just above the ear

Your work is so good to watch and always explained brilliantly

Just watched this again. Beautiful work James.

Love it , it's perfect ✨ thanks for the details can't wait to try this , good job 👍

Beautiful! Completely agree with you about low lights looking muddy, I don’t tend to add them in when there is a lot of blonde.

Beautiful work ❤️

I have always used the same hi lighting technique and weave pattern! Although I often use a herringbone weave as it makes it even more timeless. I time the base slice starting 40mins and I change the volume of peroxide for the top of the head lowering it for the hairline! Nice lights!

Fantastic video as always James I will be using this next time I like the perfect blend !

Hi James wonderful placement I used to be a 9 section wella trained guy! However experience helps over the years but absolutely love this one👍 definitely agree with the baby lights around hairline and following head shape something I've only tried about the last 6 months but getting much much nicer results with 😊 I also love the 9 level on root toner followed by the 10. Something I've yet not tried but makes perfect sense as I've had the "ashy" ends grabbing on some clients😳 however.... after watching one of your recent tuitions been using your warm/ cool toning recommendation and have to say Amazing and just what I've been wanting! Your the Best James and Really appreciate all your wonderful Free classes! 👍🙏😊 so come on guys get pressing that Subscription Bell for this Amazing Educator 👍🙏😊

Hi James, thanks for all your great videos. What way would you say is best for dealing with the top of the head so you don't see lines when doing highlights close to the scalp? I get lines at the top.

Hi James, another great video!! I've learnt so much from watching you. I agree with you about removing the back foils as soon as they are done, it's something I always do, yes it's time consuming, yes its messy but it's worth it to ensure the client still has hair left, I sometimes find I have to do this by the time I reach the top, even though I start with 20vol most of the time, especially when the client has thick heavy hair as the heat soon builds up. Thankyou for keeping us all up to date with your great techniques and problem solving!! 👍

Glad you enjoyed it the game player HD yes I find that too sometimes if the clients really hot or it’s a really hot day or like you say they’ve got really thick hair you can seem fine the back is ready and you’ve only just got to the top I still take them out at that point actually attend to Subdivide head into 2 back then front even So when I finish the back I then go and check my first foils and if I need to remove them then I do It before I start the top as you said

Great 👍🏻 job. Tell me with this Redken bleach does that mean you don’t have to use olaplex no 1 and 2. Also do you find it’s better to tone on dry or damp hair.

Awesome job, love how you did the foils as well! How long was this process? I know different prices can vary depending on the salon , but what you accomplished what would you recommend on charging the client? Thank you for sharing, wish I lived close to you , I’d come to you…😊

Impressive. I thought for sure you wouldn't get the orange banding in the midstrand above the previously lightened hair with such a nice clean application folding the foil twice. Bummer when that happens. Yet you were able to correct it and finish with a flawless blend.

Awesome thanks 💜

James. Please ALWAYS give the EXACT formula that you are using so that we may have similar results and there is no guessing involved. Thank you. Very nice look.

James, did you use a 09N shades on her root area then dragged it down?? Thanks for the answers in advance 🙂

I love how you explain as you go and share the formula too. I’m new to Redken SEQ toners. Can you pls mention how long does it take you start to finish ? So we have an idea what to expect from similar projects. I know it’s different for every canvas who seats in the chair. Also I find it takes from 2 to 5 hrs and ppl finds it expensive- whenever they bring in a SM inspiration pic. I need to identify the technique used and based on it I customized but still takes so much time for little money. Prices varies depending on location and stylists experience and expertises, and I figure ppl don’t care how well educated u are in the subject! They just want it done excellent, affordable and fast! In my consultation I tell them the pros and cons that I may encounter along the way.. I almost never promise but I try to over deliver it. Yes they are happy but then I don’t see them like in 6 months down the Road. I think 🤔 SM is full of unrealistic expectations for guests bc artists make look so easy , they aren’t showing it all the cons they encounter when doing those models hair. Not everyone got virgins H root to end, majorities come with a color correction mess look like. Thanks for sharing J, I learn everyday “15 yrs in the BI” ❤️🇨🇦

Great job! I love the way you share information. It’s so important in our field. It seems the new normal is highlighting and then shadow and tone - I’ve been doing hair so long - I started with a highlighting cap. 😷😂😎Lol. My question - what is your timing on a full highlight like this ? ( mine is about an hour ) and what is your cost ? I charge by the hour now - instead of by service. Works better for me in my business model. Thanks again!

Thank you Christopher yes great question so I generally book out around an hour our like yourself and for this type of thing exclude toning I would charge around £135 And I have different prices for different toning services for a root shadow it’s around £57 I book out 30 to 45 minutes depending on the contrast of the colour, the more contrast in the more time I give myself. Hope that answers your questions Christopher 😁👍🏻

If I have natural brown hair and I put red in it could I use this process to turn it blonde

Hi I’m just wondering what tone the level 9 was at her roots? You said 9 shades EQ but that’s it. I am learning so much from your videos and would also like to know more about becoming a patron. Thank you Charlotte

your videos are awesome could you do a video where it's the opposite? someone who has full head highlights and would like to go scalp blonde. Curious if that's possible

Do you ever use a halo placement of the foils? I mean a placement of foils along the hair line in the neck..

Been getting ALOT of clients lately with CRAZY THICK baby hairs around the hairline. I know all of them have had covid and this makes doing them hairline so hard! Please do a video about this if at all possible I’m struggling so much

In these times of confinement, I’m trying to inform myself as much as I can to see if I will be able to highlight my own hair . I know your videos aren’t for non professionals but it really helps to see how your way of doing it is working out. Thank you for being so easy to understand ! Now that all the ladies have to stay inside and can’t really go to the hairdresser, they will love to watch your videos on your tube and learn from them. I’m sure you’ll get a lot of views😉
