Foilayage Hair Technique - How to Balayage Brunette Hair (Easy Tutorial)
I wanted to share my signature foilayage technique and how I balayage hair. Some of you may not know, but I hardly ever do open air balayage. Instead, I use a foilayage technique I came up with a few years ago.
This is a great technique that allows me to get tons of brightness while still maintaining control and a great blend.
Also, I want to know, do you spell it foilayage, foilyage, or foiliage? I see so many variations. Let me know in the comments!

I’ve been a cosmetologist for 5 years now and I’ve never been happy with my results on this type of color. I gave your method a try today and it turned out absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for being an awesome teacher!
I love this! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm so happy to hear it was helpful!
This is so helpful. I went to Cosmetology school in 2010, worked as a hairstylist for about 2 years once I finished and left the field completely until this year so trends have changed and I haven’t been the most confident in color that is trending because of placement and feeling like I needed a refresher. Thank you so much for sharing these tips!
Thank you so much for Sharing! I'm so happy to hear this was helpful!
Wow this is GORGEOUS, FINALLY someone that isn't obsessed with ash lol this was a perfect neutral tone! Great work....
Haha thanks, I love that toner formula, it's the perfect neutral toner :)
THANK YOU! I am soooooo sick of ashy somber tones!
Ya ya!! Me too! I love warmer tones. I actually did a root touch up, and a colour refresh from mids to ends on one of my guests. She was older. And so I did warmer colours on her and it made her look younger! I was totally was pleased with it!

I love this look and how really easily you got there. So many utubers are so fricking hyper in the delivery it’s hard to see what’s really going on...... thank you for the simplicity
I'm thrilled to hear you loved it. Thanks for watching!
So pretty! I love seeing brunettes with golden blonde. It’s so pretty especially for summer and her skin tone. I myself am ash because golden doesn’t look good with my skin, but I really love the look
Thank you so much! So happy to hear you loved it.
So, I did this exact technique on my client Monday and it came out gorgeous and I felt it did not take nearly as long as how I previously did balayage/foilyage . Thank you thank you thank you!
That's amazing, Beverlee! I'm so happy to hear that this was helpful!

I love how you use the conditioner as a buffer and aren’t scared to admit it ! Better safe than sorry! Love your channel , you explain techniques very well!
I needed this! I have such a hard time not getting a soft blend when I'm not using root color to blend it into so I love the idea of using conditioner to soften any contamination or possible line of demarcation..... can't wait to try that technique
Thank you for watching! I'm so happy to hear it was helpful!
(M(?iñku++j.
Just gorgeous! Thanks for the wonderful tutorial! I think I need one of those combs!!!!

Brittany Hughes It's so fun huh?! And oh, that makes me so happy to hear!
LOVE the disclaimer - nice touch jamie!! always great work.
Oh thanks! Just gotta stay legal over here just in case ;)
Beautiful job!! Never thought about using the clean brush and conditioner. Thanks for the tips!

Wow, thanks! I'm going to try your technique tomorrow. I never thought of using conditioner near the roots or a clean brush to clean up my blend, LOL! I always use my finger and the end of my comb to clean it up...sometimes common sense escapes me! Looking forward to future videos!
Haha I actually learned that technique from someone else and I was like, duh! Why didn't I think of that?! So glad you like the video!
Today I applied this technique and foil placement on a balayage client and it is the most beautiful balayage I have ever done!!! Thank you so much for your videos! (I'll tag ya tomorrow on my Instagram 😁 when I post it) ♥️
Love it! Thank you so much for watching. I'm so happy to hear this was helpful!
stellar job, her hair looks amazing!
Thanks Denise!
Very beautiful! Love that its not too ashy, seems like almost everyone like to go for a really ashy toned look and its not for everyone, but this colour really works well for this beautiful lady! Love love love it! Plus the technique was spot on really good colour placing! So inlove!
can't say much, just wow 😍😍 i can't wait for your next video please videos for clients with gray hair and balayage and babylights
Zien TA Thanks for watching! I'll keep that in mind for another video!
Jamie Dana can't wait xoxo 😘😘😘
Yes! What to do with gray in roots?
I'm doing this tuesday and I'm so excited I can't wait to use this technique I'll take a picture and send it to you
Yay! So excited. Definitely take a picture and let me know how it goes!
Great job with explaining every step. It turned out Beautiful 💜 definitely going to be using this technique
Thanks so much Maria! I'm so glad to hear it was helpful!
Love this! Genius mixing warm and cool tones!
Thanks so much!
This looks so perfect!
Absolutely gorgeous! And so simple. I feel like sometimes educators complicate things and don’t realize how hard it is to follow! Your method and instructions are super clear. Do you have any tips for combing out the tease? I never want to hurt someone!
Sara Sclafani Thanks for saying that! It means so much to me! As far as combing it out, usually Olaplex No 2 helps, but I typically just use a Wet Brush and It's a 10 to detangle it at the chair after shampooing.
Get the deluxe wet brush. It's a life saver!
Jamie Dana I’m curious did you tease the front panel I did not notice.. Thanks for the info Looks like a better technique for me to follow
I have always struggled with balayage and have avoided doing it for so long because i could never get a nice blend and always ended up with patchy areas I tried this method today and it came out beautiful!! Thankyou so so much for giving me confidence to do balayage I no longer have to hide away when someone wants it done ☺️💖
Hey Tasha Gladwish I'm so happy to hear you've learned so much from my videos! Thank you so much for watching.
Sharing this video with my entire staff! Thank you for the great tips and the quick video. It's hard to find time to sit through a 90 min tutorial! This was perfect! You do amazing work Jamie!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Can’t wait to use this technique on my client Saturday!!
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
Taylor Clifford i
How was it?!
I’ve been a stylist for a long time, and I remember the first time I seen a birth mark in the hair. She was 5 years old, beautiful, and was wearing ruby red slippers. She is now in college and just as beautiful.
Love it. Thanks so much for watching!
Another fabulous tutorial.
Really love the colour and great technique....
Could you do a video educating more on shades eq? I’d love to start toning with them more but I’m not very familiar with them.
Thanks for your suggestion. I'll definitely keep that in mind!
Omg I had a client with the coolest white birthmark, right on top her head, her color always looked so good, I lived it and get happy too when I hv a client with a birthmark!
Oh wow, that's so cool! I love it!
You do great work, Jamie!! Love you!! 💖
I LOVE FINDING A BIRTHMARK IN THE HAIR!! I think it's fascinating and so cool.
I'd love to see your technique for doing a darker color at the base and then balayaging/foilayaging the ends! That's one of the hardest colors for me to do because I think it's tricky to get the blend perfect when you have to blend it into another color!
Jessica Kimball Thanks for the video suggestion! I've had a few other people want to see that too, so I'll definitely make that video!
Love it
Using this technique on Tuesday and cannot wait!!! 🌟❤️ you are amazing and talented 💕✨
So excited to hear this video was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
Beautiful! You are an artist!
Super and beautiful thank you, Jammie.
I'm thrilled to hear you loved this. Thanks for watching!
Beautyfull!! I have a question: does it matter what kind of conditioner you use in the foils?
Not really! I prefer a lighter conditioner but it's up to you. Thanks for watching!
So beautiful! Can't wait to try this technique
Thank you so much! Let me know what you think!
That’s so stunning, good job 😍
I love this!! My only thing that I can’t wrap my brain around.. I literally rewatched this 4 times.. is the conditioner. So it gives you a lighter tone to the hair? Lighter than the natural color but darker than the ends? Is that the reason you use it because it dilutes the enlightener or is it to just make sure she doesn’t get too bright at the roots? Thanks for the video !! Xxo
The only reason why I use the conditioner is it creates a better blend with the lightener. It doesn't do anything to the color.
This has definitely been one of the easiest tutorials I have ever seen! Not sure if you have touched on this subject, but do you have any recommendations on what common colors a stylist should have in their color bar when purchasing a color kit? Especially for blonding services? I always feel like I don't have enough and of course it's not necessarily practical to purchase every single color on the shelf (unless one can afford to, lol). Thanks again for this awesome video!
Thanks for watching! I'm so glad you found it helpful! And no, I haven't touched on that yet, but I should, thanks for the suggestion!
I second this suggestion! Great question.
This is what I’ve been looking for, for the last two years! THANK YOU!
I'm so happy to hear this was helpful. Thanks for watching!
YES! It looks AMAZING. Job well done!
Thanks so much Melissa!
Where are you and can I book an appointment... I need someone who isn’t obsessed with ash tones! You are so talented!

This was amazing loved it soo much ❤️
I have a birth mark a streak of white hair on the top part of my head....when i was younger i used to HATE IT ..because every time i colored my hair that part would turn out lighter than the rest so one day i decided i would darken it....biggest mistake ever!!!! IT WAS AT THIS POINT WHERE I REALIZED HOW LUCKY I WAS LOL !!! i realized I wasnt like anyone else ...never again did i cover it ....I LOVE MY BIRTH MARK LOL😁😍
BY THE WAY IM A HAIRSTYLIST TOO LOL...AND I'VE COME ACROSS SEVERAL CUSTOMERS WITH BIRTH MARKS ....
Oh my gosh, that is so funny! I think birthmarks are so cool!
can I ask where you get your foil from and the dimensions pls. can you help imin Australia
I'm not sure what you have over there. So sorry! I would ask around at professional supply stores!
This was the perfect video! You showed the technique and what you used and step by step. I have been looking for a video like is! Thank you!!
Oh thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it and found it helpful :)
Hi! Did you weave each foil? I love the technique. Thank you
Suits her beautifully! Great job.
Thank you so much!
Do you tease everyone’s hair? I have a few clients who’s hair gets tangled really easily. Would you tease their hair?
I do for most client because it gets the best blend. However, I have a few where I can't because it will tangle too much too.
2:33 “A couple pumps”
It's was 3 full pumps then 9 half pumps 🤣
thank you SOOO much. I did your technique and loved it OMG AWESOME
Hey Kelly Ferrara I'm so happy to hear you've learned so much from my videos! Thank you so much for watching.
Loved this! So wish I had seen this before the color I did today! This technique would have been perfect! & I can’t wait to use it!
Victoria Alexandra Thank you! I hope you can use it in the future!
How do you get out the teasing?
We use Olaplex No 2 at the bowl and that helps release the teasing. And for the rest, we use a Wet Brush and a detangling spray at the chair.
Jamie Dana ahhh thank you for sharing your techniques
I like tetangling hair while still a little dry in the top.. Easier..
Jamie Dana I just did my balayage with olaplex and OMG it's Sooooooooooooo soft my hair olaplex is the best
Hey Jamie, we gonna try your technique at home tomo with my mum. I wish i could send you the before/after pics . Maybe i can send it if you have email. 😊😊 kisses and love from Turkey ❤️
Amazing! Tag me on instagram @jamiedanahairstylist and I'll take a look there!
That came out beautiful!
I follow this technic and I love the results, thank you so much for your video ❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear you loved it.
would it be weird/rude to show this to my hairstylist as an example?
No, I don't think it would be! Most hairstylist's are eager to learn and want to make sure you get the result you want!
No, girl! Do It. We love that.
Great work and a simple technique! I will be trying this tmrw on a new client👌
Love your technique! Thanks so much for sharing ♥️
