@@silvia7058 Made the mistake of rinsing the bleach too soon, so it was brassy- but at least it was even coverage. She did a bleach bath after, but her hair was left healthy so a win in my book. I definitely recommend the technique! Next time, I'd do a strand test to see how quickly their hair developed FIRST and then use this technique again with the correct amount of time to avoid a do-over or a bleach bath.

In my bathroom salon, this process makes a lot more sense. After reading articles, and videos in a 2 year hyper fixation gold mine... this process makes far more practical sense hitting on the finer points of lightener chemistry. Plus I'm doing it in a 360 mirror so there are all sorts of wild perspectives to deal with. This process is user friendly.

Hands down the most helpful video on this process. Much more realistic in a time crunch setting at the salon. Still takes time - but not everyone has time to do a triple process

i always come back to this whenever i'm doing my long roots. this technique should really be more widespread. i love it so much.

Absolute Game changer .. I watched this video a while back and have used this technique on many color corrections... thank you so much.

Thank you for that great idea. This will be such a time saver and we will impress our clients at the same time. :)

This is such a gorgeous result!

Thanks so much James. I shall try it tomorrow and it will hopefully resolve my usual problems

so glad i stumbled upon your channel! you are such a good educator, giving totally doable and effective techniques to use in the salon with lovely results! thanks for sharing...

Thank you for this. I am a hairstylist and I use this technique too. I like how you explain too when going very light blonde it's not always perfect because when someone is so dark your looking at multiple sessions to get the perfect light blonde. I know because my hair is a level 4 and now I'm a level 10. Turned out beautifully, and I found using the foils for regrowth it turns out a lot more even. Been a hair dresser 10 years now and took me quite some time to figure all of this out. Good to know I'm doing it right 😍

Superbly so well and very happy that you have had some validation like the techniques that you are using are well thought off, I know so many hairdressing friends of mine who didn’t know about this technique for many many many years and when I posted this particular video it was like some sort of revelation. Keep up the good work Lisa thanks for your comment

You were God sent!! Truly an answer to prayer! I want to thank you for making this video. After completing a lengthy color correction, I then had to go in and match the 2.5 inch regrowth and finalize with a color melt. Using this technique (with 30 vol & blondor) was of great aid in delivering satisfying results!! She left happy, and left the highest tip I've received in my career. I am now subscribed to your channel and look forward to your great teachings!

I don't recall how much this service was 🤔 but as cliche as this may, sound the largest tip I've received is their trust to return and continue their services. Monetary wise, the tip will always be different based on the service rendered. In this particular case in addition to the cost, the tip was $100 ( +the service). Hair and makeup were once very complimentary to each other so if you can Master both traits that makes you twice as valuable. I would say give it a try. I know the pandemic has changed so much with the whole mask situation. Makeup industry has suffered. Nevertheless that doesn't mean you cannot reinvent yourself. Best wishes!

And, I am quite surprised that you are using 30 vol on the scalp……. I thought that for bleach products on the scalp, it’s maximum 20 vol…… isn’t it? But definitively will try this technique next time, instead of struggling to apply products on the roots after the foil…… thank you James….. great tips as usual 🙏🙏🙏

To attack the band would adding a 5 vol while adding the foils work?
