DiamondTouch technique

One second per strand. Half the time per client.

Napitel Diamond draws the short hairs out of a section with gentle suction, so you colour only the lengths that matter. Seamless balayage and highlights, without hot air, without a roaring dryer, without an aching arm.

How it works

Suction instead of hot air

Airtouch blows the short hairs out of a section with a hair dryer. Napitel Diamond does the opposite: it draws them in. Same soft, diffused root, reached faster, quieter and with far more control.

AIRTOUCH · WITH A HAIR DRYER hot air Short hairs fly out into the salon. Hot air on the strand and on the client, 101 to 105 dB. Long hairs stay in the hand and take the colour. long hairs short hairs DIAMONDTOUCH · WITH NAPITEL DIAMOND Short hairs are pulled down into the nozzle, collected in the filter. Cool intake, 82 dB. Long hairs stay in the hand and take the colour. long hairs into the filter

Gold lines: the long hairs, these take the colour. Dark lines: the short, regrowing hairs that have to leave the section first, otherwise they take the lightener too and the root line shows.

01

Take a section

Hold the strand in front of the nozzle, exactly as you would for foils.

02

Press the button

A short press on the handle. Short and broken hairs are drawn into the nozzle in about a second, then you set the handle back in its holder.

03

Apply the colour

Lightener goes only on the lengths left in your hand, for a seamless blend.

04

Empty the filter

Collected hair lands in a washable filter. Rinse it every 5 to 10 services.

Appliance colouristics

Five techniques. Four of them impossible with a dryer.

Napitel Diamond is not a faster way to do airtouch. It opens colouring techniques a dryer physically cannot do, because suction holds a strand of any density without sagging and never blows the dye off the roots.

01 · 10 to 15 min

Like-touch

The fast, soft-root technique for a natural grow-out.

02 · 30 to 45 min

Diamonding

Full-head strand separation with foil for expressive lightening of the lengths.

03 · 15 to 25 min

Diamonding without foil

Open-air lightening by tone level, for the softest possible transition.

04 · 30 to 40 min

Demi-touch

A partial technique for a refresh between full services.

05 · 10 to 15 min

Combining

Root colour and lightened lengths in one sitting, finished with the marbling effect. Walkthrough below.

Execution times as stated by the manufacturer for the sectioning stage, not including processing time.

Spotlight: Combining

Roots and lengths in one appointment

Colour the roots up to 3 cm and lighten the lengths in parallel. The lightener goes over the dye in the root zone in the marbling technique, so the two melt into each other instead of meeting at a line. For medium, long and very long hair.

  • 1. Apply the dye to the root zone, starting at the nape.
  • 2. Divide the hair into three zones: nape, right side, left side.
  • 3. Take a wide section at the lower nape and separate the layers with the handle, drawing it downwards.
  • 4. Apply the lightener, respecting the dye's processing time at the roots.
  • 5. Marble the lightener over the dye. Tone by emulsifying, or wash and tone.

Three ways to apply (foil, no foil, or both) and three ways to tone give you nine finishes from one method.

Everything you reach for, in one trolley

Suction handle Nozzle for curly hair Speed dimmer Three drawers Filter port Hair dryer holder
1

A handle that weighs 345 g

Start and stop the suction with your thumb, without letting go of the section. About half the weight of a hair dryer, so your shoulder lasts until the last client.

2

Curly-hair nozzle included

Section curls and coils in their natural state. No straightening before the colour, no extra half hour.

3

Stepless speed control

Gentle for fine, fragile hair. Full power for thick, coarse sections. One knob, no menus.

4

Three drawers and a work top

Bowls, brushes, foils and clips stay at hand height. The trolley rolls on four wheels to whichever chair needs it.

5

Washable filters, two in the box

Collected hair ends up inside, not on the floor or on your client. Rinse a filter every 5 to 10 services and swap in the second one meanwhile.

6

Dryer holder on the side

Your dryer still has its place for finishing. It just stops being your sectioning tool.

Why salons choose it

Better for the salon, the client and the colourist

A colouring service that used to take three hours can take about half that. That is room for one more client a day, or an earlier evening.

01For the salon owner

More clients per chair, higher tickets

Sectioning is the slowest part of balayage and highlights. Cut it down and your chair is free sooner, every day.

  • Up to 50% faster colouring service
  • A signature "marble" blend you can price 20 to 30% higher
  • A technique clients cannot get at the salon next door
Soft balayage result
02For the client

A colour appointment that feels like a spa

No hot air across the face and ears, no roaring dryer next to the head. The motor sits in the trolley, below ear level.

  • 82 dB instead of 101 to 105 dB
  • No heat and no backcombing on the strand
  • Soft transitions without visible lines

03For the colourist

Lighter hands, a tidier station

A 345 g handle instead of a dryer held up for hours, and no board to hold either: the strand stays open on its own. Curly and very thick hair can be sectioned in its natural state, with no straightening first.

  • About half the weight of a hair dryer in the hand
  • Speed dimmer for fine or coarse hair
  • Colour fumes are drawn away from your face into the filter
Where it comes from

Born at a colourist's chair, engineered with aerospace acousticians

Napitel Diamond was invented by a working stylist, Arsen Babayan, who wanted complex colouring to be simpler, safer and above all faster. Development started in 2019 with vibro-acoustics engineers from the space industry and aviation aerodynamics specialists.

  • Airflow modelled digitally before the first prototype, so a dense strand opens without tangling.
  • Cool air intake only. Nothing hot, nothing blown against the cuticle.
  • The method is patented (2024). CE, EAC and RoHS certificates, 2-year warranty.
  • Today in salons in 23 countries, from Lisbon to Los Angeles.

Hair dryer or Napitel Diamond?

Same day, same instruments: a hand scale, a sound level meter and an anemometer. Lighter in the hand, quieter at the client's ear, and still more air speed than a popular dryer.

FAQ

Questions colourists ask

How is this different from the airtouch technique?

Airtouch uses a hair dryer to blow the short hairs out of a section. Napitel Diamond pulls them out with suction. You get the same soft root, but faster, with more control, without hot air on the strand and without the dryer noise.

Does it work on curly or very thick hair?

Yes. You can separate strands in their natural state, without straightening first. The speed dimmer lets you adjust the suction for fine or coarse hair, and a dedicated nozzle for curly hair is included.

How loud is it?

About 82 dB at full power according to the manufacturer, noticeably quieter than a professional hair dryer (101 to 105 dB). At lower speeds it is quieter still, and the motor sits in the trolley below ear level.

How long does it take to learn?

If you already section for balayage or highlights, the movement is the same: hold the section, press the button. Most colourists are confident after their first few clients. The how-to video above shows the full routine.

How do I clean it?

The collected hair ends up in a washable filter. Empty and rinse it every 5 to 10 colouring services, let it dry and put it back. A second filter is included, so you can keep working while one dries.

Is it CE marked? What power supply does it need?

Yes, Napitel Diamond has an EU Declaration of Conformity under the Low Voltage and EMC directives. It runs on a standard 220 V, 50/60 Hz socket.

What is the difference between Diamond and Mini?

Diamond is a full salon trolley with drawers, a work top and a dryer holder. Mini is a compact unit on a round floor base with the same suction handle, made for smaller spaces, extra stations and mobile work. DUO is both together.
