Air Touch

Master controlled Air Touch coloring. A course for hairstylists who want to work with intention to build multidimensional blonde with strong light reflection underneath and a natural, darker top.

About the course

Air Touch is a comprehensive coloring technique for achieving a subtle, multidimensional, diffused blonde effect. The course shows how to work on natural level 8 hair - for a client tired of global lightening - to build lasting color with strong light reflection underneath and a naturally darker, seamlessly integrated top. This is a course about moving from random air touch results to a consciously designed, fully controlled service.

Adam Sierocki walks you through a detailed working scheme that defines the entire coloring process before any product is applied. You'll see how precise sectioning into symmetrical triangles at the back, separately worked sides, and a secured top become a map for the final effect. A key element of the course is conscious control of how much hair is blown out depending on the zone - from the first foils, blown out minimally for strong light reflection, to gradually increasing diffusion toward the top.

In this course, you'll see

  • The full sectioning scheme into symmetrical triangles at the back, plus a separately worked front, as a precise map for the entire coloring service
  • The principle of graduating the blow-out - from minimal at the nape for strong light reflection, to increasingly diffused toward the upper sections
  • Why the first 3-4 foils from the bottom are lightened almost panel-style (without blowing out) and how this builds the foundation for the entire effect
  • The technique for integrating the dark top with the rest of the coloring - how to use air touch with more blow-out to create a smooth, blurred transition
  • Separately working the front to achieve a "front blonde" effect without creating a harsh line against the rest of the hair
  • Working with the coloring board and brush - how to work product in from the edge of the brush and push it in at the root without risking patchiness
  • The role of washing in finalizing the effect - how to rinse out product without disturbing the blending you've already built

After watching this course, you'll stop treating air touch as a one-size-fits-all technique and start consciously designing how light falls across the head based on each client's expectations. You'll learn to build color services that look natural, don't create a harsh regrowth line, and let clients space out their salon visits - while raising the value and profitability of your service.

  1. Air Touch - The key importance of sectioning1:07

    01The key importance of sectioning

    They're extremely important, because they give us the entire blueprint for the coloring.

  2. Air Touch - Changing the intensity of the blow-out21:48

    02Changing the intensity of the blow-out

    As we get closer to foil number five, we'll be blowing out more and more of this hair.

  3. Air Touch - How to judge the thickness of a section29:42

    03How to judge the thickness of a section

    For me, the benchmark for section thickness is that the layer should be fairly translucent.

  4. Air Touch - Technique for a strong front blonde1:33:55

    04Technique for a strong front blonde

    With front blonde, I often don't blow this hair out at all for one or two foils.

  5. Air Touch - A new technique for blending the top1:56:38

    05A new technique for blending the top

    I'll keep working with the air touch technique, but differently. First, I'll pick it out by hand with the tail comb.

  6. Air Touch - How to avoid "stamping" on top2:01:17

    06How to avoid "stamping" on top

    If the hair is too long, it's better to do it in two passes and close the top with a dry foil.

  7. Air Touch - Brightening with free airflow2:15:32

    07Brightening with free airflow

    For the hair where I want to add a bit of light, I'll simply comb it through, without foil.

  8. Air Touch - Styling that highlights the color2:34:20

    08Styling that highlights the color

    Wavy hair will work completely differently on camera. It reflects light in a totally different way.
