The technique where a blow-dryer's airflow separates fine strands, lightening only what's meant to lighten. At KAiMAK Hair Studio it's planned individually for a natural, sun-kissed result.
In airtouch, a blow-dryer's airflow separates the hair into fine sections mid-air; only the strands left floating are lightened, while thicker, root-adjacent hair keeps its natural colour. This gives a finer, more evenly distributed dimension than traditional balayage.
Because there's less contact with the root, the scalp area stays healthier and regrowth is less visible — extending the interval between visits. The result is a natural, sun-kissed-looking colour transition with real dimension.
Airtouch creates an especially soft dimension on fine to medium hair; it can be done on thick hair too, with the time varying by density. It's a labour-intensive technique, so the appointment is scheduled early in the day.
This page is for local search; for a detailed explanation of the technique see our airtouch service page. Before we begin, your colour, dye history and lifting potential are assessed.
A blow-dryer separates only the fine strands; thicker sections keep their natural colour.
With less root contact the scalp area is protected and regrowth is less visible.
Tone and contrast are planned for a natural, warm or cool target; toning is added if needed.
Colour, history and lifting potential are assessed; the target tone is set.
A blow-dryer separates fine strands and only the intended ones are lightened.
Toning is applied if needed to refine the desired shade.
We recommend home care and a refresh interval to keep the colour.
On lightened hair, colour-safe and moisturising care matters; purple shampoo may be recommended depending on the service to balance yellow tones. Heat protection preserves both colour and hair health.
The airtouch price depends on hair length, density and target lift. See an indicative range in our price list; the exact price is given after a free analysis.

“I loved my hair. I'll bring my daughters as well — thanks, Ilhan bey.”
In airtouch, strands are separated by a blow-dryer and only fine ones lightened, so the dimension is finer and more even with little root contact. Balayage is hand-painted on the surface. Which suits you is decided by analysis.
It's labour-intensive; the time varies with length and density and is usually long. That's why the appointment is booked early; the exact time is confirmed at consultation.
With little root contact the scalp area is protected; still, as a lightening service, hair health is assessed beforehand and staged when needed.
