AirTouch Balayage on the Upper East Side
AirTouch balayage at Fabio's Hair & Color Studio is a consultation-led blonding service. Controlled airflow helps separate shorter and newer hairs before selected sections are lightened, allowing the colorist to design soft transitions and intentional dimension.

AirTouch Balayage FAQs
Need help choosing the correct appointment? Call (212) 410-2005.
What is AirTouch balayage?+
AirTouch uses controlled airflow during sectioning to help separate shorter and newer hairs before selected sections are lightened. The colorist then customizes placement, lift and tone.
Is AirTouch better than regular balayage?+
Not for everyone. AirTouch, painted balayage and foils create different kinds of control and dimension. We select the method—or combination—that fits your hair and goal.
Is AirTouch suitable for previously colored hair?+
It may be, but previous color, buildup, porosity and condition must be evaluated first. A staged plan may be safer for dark artificial color or compromised hair.
How long does an AirTouch appointment take?+
Timing varies with density, length, starting color, sectioning and the amount of change. Call before booking so we can reserve the correct service.
How do I maintain an AirTouch result?+
Use the recommended color-safe home care and return for toner, gloss, treatment and lightening visits on the personalized schedule your colorist provides.
