About Balayage & Airtouch in Sliema
Balayage and airtouch are the two ways we create that soft, lived-in colour you see all over Sliema in summer, lightness painted in by hand instead of foils packed root to tip.
- Hand-painted, not foiledYour stylist paints lightness where the sun would naturally hit, so the colour blends into your own shade rather than sitting on top of it.
- Balayage or airtouchBalayage is painted on freehand for a relaxed look. Airtouch uses a gentle stream of air to part out the finest hairs first, so the blend is even softer.
- Grows out gentlyNo hard line of regrowth, so you are not back every few weeks chasing your roots. Kind on your hair and your time.
She works the colour around the health of your hair and finishes with a toner so the shade is exactly right. A big colour change starts with a free consultation, so you know the look, the price and the plan before you book.
How it works
Free consultation
Your stylist looks at your hair, talks through the look you want, and tells you whether balayage or airtouch suits you best. You leave knowing the plan and the price before you commit.
Hand-painted colour
She paints the lightness in by hand where it falls naturally, keeping an eye on the health of your hair the whole way. This is the part that takes the time and gives the soft, blended result.
Toned and finished
A toner sets the exact shade, then a wash and style so you can see the full look. She shows you how to keep it bright at home and when to come back.

Rated 4.9 from 162 Google reviews. Here is what clients say about Vintage Studio.
Best blonde, yes, best hair cut, yes, best advice for professional products and hair care routine, yes. What else is missing? Oh yes, the best atmosphere and welcoming experience to complete your time with the best services. As I am regularly having my blonde maintain, I find the barber services also very well looking, of course even though I am there for my hairdresser, I will have a look around ( who doesn’t?) and can say even the guys are pleased with their barber experience so we can say best barber too, why not? We know when a guy gets of his chair and all of a sudden he feels confident again. The final results matter by the end of each appointment made and they make sure you are happy with anything you booked to do, makeover, haircut or even just popping in to refill your products for your hair recommendations. Amazing team amazing experiences!
I've been a customer of Andreea for 3 years. She always did a great job with my blonde, understands exactly what I want and always gives me advise on how to keep my hair healthy. Ciprian as well does is a great barber. Highly recommended, central location and very nice people :)
Discovered a little randomly on the internet, I was seduced by the positive opinions on this hairdresser. You can go there with your eyes closed! The welcome is great, the services are very professional, it’s a salon of choice, especially if you want a real change. Thank you and see you soon ! A new loyal customer
Andreea and Ciprian are the best, they are very careful about every detail - from the coziness of the hair salon to every need you may have. it goes without saying that they both are very very very good hairdressers! speaking of Ciprian, I can see that on my male friends not on me 🤪 but I can speak for myself when it comes to Andreea ofc 🤭 she does her best to satisfy you (from the appointment you need to any request you have) and she's very good with coloring and cutting! the whole service and experience is amazing!
Super happy every time I go to this place! Beautiful saloon and very professional hairdressers!
Very professional. Knows what they’re doing and listens very well to what you wish for. Would definitely go again!

Both give a soft, blended colour. Balayage is hand-painted on freehand for a relaxed, natural look. Airtouch uses a gentle stream of air to separate out the finest hairs first, so the blend is even softer and the grow-out is almost invisible. We will tell you which suits your hair at the consultation.
Around three hours, as hand-painting and toning take time to get right. It is worth setting the afternoon aside. The upside is you will not need to come back chasing your roots for a good while.
Choose balayage or airtouch if you want a soft, natural look that grows out gently with little upkeep. Choose full highlights if you want brighter, more even lightness all over. Not sure? Send us a photo of the look you like and we will steer you to the right one.
Your stylist places the colour with the health of your hair in mind and will not push it further than your hair can take in one go. If your hair needs a little care first, she will say so. A hair repair treatment is a nice add-on to keep it feeling soft after colour.
