Choosing the right tools for color services isn’t just about preference—it’s about visibility, control, and consistency behind the chair. Our Applications guides break down real techniques stylists use every day, showing how thoughtful tool pairing can simplify your process and elevate your results.
🎨 Techniques
Highlights & Lowlights
Dimension-focused services like highlights and lowlights require precision, clean saturation, and the ability to monitor processing without disrupting your work.
🧩 Featured Technique
Pairing Rolled Foil with REVEAL Film
This technique combines the structure and heat retention of traditional foil with the visibility of REVEAL Film—allowing you to see processing in real time without opening packets.

💡 Pro Tip
When layering REVEAL over foil, avoid hard folds. Keeping the packet smooth helps maintain even saturation from root to end and helps prevent lines of demarcation—especially on finer sections.
✂️ Why Stylists Use This Technique
- 👀 Visual processing without disturbance
- 🎯 More even saturation and predictable results
- 🔥 Controlled processing with less oxidation
- ⏱️ Less checking, less refolding, better flow
Extension & Long-Hair Color Services
When working with extensions or extra-long hair, standard pre-cut foils don’t always provide the coverage or consistency needed for clean results.
🧩 Featured Technique
Custom-Length Foils with the QTouch Rollmate
This technique pairs the QTouch Rollmate dispenser with Rolled Foils, allowing stylists to cut foils to the exact length needed—eliminating folding and improving saturation on long sections and extensions.

💡 Pro Tip
Use one continuous foil length whenever possible. Eliminating folds helps prevent pressure marks and uneven processing—especially important when working with extensions.
✂️ Why Stylists Use This Technique
- 📏 Foils sized exactly to the hair length
- 🎯 More even saturation from root to end
- 🚫 No folding means fewer processing issues
- ⏱️ Faster application with cleaner results
Balayage & Freehand Color
Soft blends and natural dimension rely on controlled pressure and even product distribution—making brush choice a critical part of freehand techniques.
🧩 Featured Technique
Freehand Painting with the Painter Color Brush
Inspired by traditional paintbrushes, the Painter Color Brush allows for feathered application, gradual saturation, and soft diffusion—ideal for balayage and lived-in color.
👉 Read the full guide: Why the Painter Is a Balayage Essential →
💡 Pro Tip
Apply light pressure and build saturation gradually. The Painter’s wide, flexible bristles help distribute product evenly without overloading the hair.
✂️ Why Stylists Use This Technique
- 🎨 Soft, diffused blends with natural dimension
- ✋ Greater control over pressure and placement
- 🌊 Even product distribution without harsh lines
- ✨ Ideal for balayage, root melts, and lived-in color
Using a Dual-Roll QTouch Dispenser
Designed for efficiency and flexibility, the dual-roll QTouch dispenser allows stylists to keep multiple materials ready at all times—supporting faster application and smarter technique pairing behind the chair.
🧩 Featured Technique
Double the Rolls, Double the Function
With two rolls loaded at once, this setup lets you pair foil and REVEAL Film—or keep different foil types on hand—without stopping to restock. It’s a simple way to streamline your station and maintain momentum during color services.
👉 Read the full guide: Double the Rolls, Double the Function →
💡 Pro Tip
Load one roll of foil and one roll of REVEAL Film to build packets faster and reduce unnecessary movement during application—especially helpful on high-volume color days.
✂️ Why Stylists Use This Technique
- 🧰 Two materials ready without swapping rolls
- 🎨 Easy pairing for combo foil + film techniques
- ⏱️ Less downtime restocking tools mid-service
- 📦 Cleaner, more efficient station setup
