Front Light Air Touch

Front Light with Air Touch Technology — impressive facial illumination

Front Light is a coloring technique that responds to one of the most popular needs of clients—the desire to lighten the hair around the face while maintaining a deeper color at the back of the head. Radek Smarz, an experienced hairdresser and coloring expert, presents the Air Touch technique in this course, which allows you to achieve a natural, harmonious effect with minimal interference with the hair structure.

Why is it worth learning about the Air Touch technique?

The ability to perform Front Light using the Air Touch technique is extremely valuable in everyday salon work for many reasons:

“Nowadays, women are very keen on having much lighter highlights at the front and either subtle or much darker sections at the back. It looks very natural, brightens the contours of the face, and makes women feel younger and much more refreshed.”

This technique also works perfectly as a way to refresh color between full color treatments, offering clients an attractive intermediate option in their regular color care routine.
