Hair color trends are constantly evolving, but few techniques generate as much buzz as Airtouch. At Venelle Salon & Spa in Park Slope, Brooklyn, our expert colorists are bringing this revolutionary method to clients who want soft, natural highlights with minimal damage and effortless maintenance.

If you’ve been curious about Airtouch, here’s everything you need to know about why it’s taking the hair world—and Park Slope—by storm.


What is Airtouch?

Airtouch is a modern highlighting technique that uses air to separate strands of hair before applying lightener. By blowing air through the hair, stylists isolate the finer, thinner strands that naturally catch the light. These are the strands that, when lightened, create the softest, most natural-looking highlights.

Unlike traditional foil highlights or balayage alone, Airtouch produces a soft, diffused effect with seamless blending and subtle dimension.


The Benefits of Airtouch

1. Natural, Sun-Kissed Results

Airtouch highlights mimic how sunlight naturally hits hair. The result is a lived-in, sun-kissed look that grows out beautifully, with soft transitions and no harsh lines.

2. Less Damage

Because the technique targets only the hair’s finer strands, Airtouch is gentler on the hair. This means clients can enjoy bright, dimensional color without compromising hair health.

3. Perfect for All Hair Lengths and Textures

Whether your hair is long, layered, or shorter in a bob, Airtouch can be customized to add dimension where it’s needed most. It works beautifully on straight, wavy, or curly hair.

4. Low Maintenance

The soft, diffused effect means roots grow out naturally, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups. This makes Airtouch ideal for busy lifestyles or anyone seeking effortless color.

5. Enhances Other Techniques

Airtouch can be combined with balayage, babylights, or lowlights to create a multidimensional finish that’s modern, soft, and sophisticated.
