Poor foil hygiene?
How Not to Place Foils in Airtouch❌👆🏻

If:
* Sections that spread wider down the strand.
* Hair or product left on the foil edges.
* Uneven tension throughout the section.
* Overloaded product causing bleeding.
* Messy, inconsistent foil placement.

Then:
• Don’t clump the hair
• Keep the section centered inside the foil
• Maintain consistent saturation throughout the section
• Avoid excessive pressure when closing the foil

AirTouch Tip #7 ✨

One small change that can completely transform your blend:

Stop sectioning horizontally.

If you’re losing tension like this, your Airtouch will never be seamless. 🥲

Keep the section flat.
Keep it elevated.
Keep consistent tension from roots to ends.
And don’t stop there.

That same tension must be maintained while placing your board and foil underneath the section.

Every small detail matters.
A seamless isn’t created by a root shadow.
It’s created by precision.

safely go from highlights to AIRTOUCH— but not only that

You can also use this technique for colour correction: fixing uneven colour through the lengths, chunky highlights, banding, or creating a softer and smoother transition from the roots.

AIRTOUCH is not just blowing hair with a dryer ❌❌❌
I learned this technique in Russia from Vladimir Sarbashev himself — the CREATOR of AirTouch.

A lot of the AirTouch techniques shared online are missing these small but very important details.

Tip #1 ✨

Soooo, what does it take to make a new client happy?

I believe 50% of success lies in the consultation.

Having a clear understanding of what the client likes and dislikes, their previous colour history, lifestyle, and how they wear their hair day to day.

There are only four colouring techniques in the world: shatush, balayage, highlights, and airtouch (do not mix it up with airblonde 🙄).

Any colour is achieved by using these techniques individually or by combining them.

But understanding what the client wants is still the most important part.

This colour is achieved with
