Meet AIRELIGHTS ✨

My approach to the air touch highlighting technique, where softness, dimension, and intentional placement come together.

Using air to gently separate the shorter hairs before lightening allows us to create beautifully diffused transitions, preserve natural depth, and build brightness without harsh lines.

The result?

Soft and seamless or bold and dimensional.

This technique offers limitless opportunity for bespoke color, allowing every result to be completely tailored to the person wearing it.

But Airelights isnt just about blowing hair out of a section.

Its knowing what to leave behind.
Where to create brightness.
Where to protect depth.
And how to make every placement intentional.

And soon, Im taking it beyond the chair.

AIRELIGHTS EDUCATION by Pelo by Dalton

Exclusive classes for Modern Salon Services coming in 2027.

For the stylists who want to understand not just the technique, but the flow and the why behind it.

This is just the beginning. ✨

If lived in color, seamless extensions, and hair that feels effortless but still elevated is your vibe, we might be a perfect match.

I love creating bespoke hair that works with you. Your natural color, your texture, your lifestyle, and how you actually want to feel when you leave the salon.

Think dimensional, lived in color, soft grow outs, extensions that blend like they were always yours, and beautiful hair that still feels like you.

And behind every service is a commitment to continuing to learn and evolve. As an Advanced Color Trainer for Davines North America , I’m constantly immersed in education, both continuing my own and creating elevated education experiences for stylists around the country.

That education comes back behind the chair with me. It allows me to approach every client with intention, technique, and an eye for what makes your hair uniquely yours.

So if this is your vibe, let me be your stylist. 🤍

A day well spent with the amazing team at Whistle & Sway in Fort Worth. 🤍✨

We dove into the Davines Cut + Color Collection, and this team absolutely crushed the looks. Their creativity, passion, and openness are to learn makes every class 🧑‍🍳💋

So grateful to share education with artists who are always ready to grow. 💕

Behind the chair is only part of what I do—
A big part of who I am as a stylist is serving as an Advanced Color Trainer for and

Here is a quick recap on two days of intentional education, rooted in craft and refinement.

Day one focused on sculpting balayage with the Davines Blending Brush and paddle—soft, seamless placement designed to grow out beautifully—paired with curly styling and a deeper understanding of the More Inside and Essential Haircare lines.

Day two was dedicated to blonding and corrective color—an immersive dive into thoughtful formulation, correction, and creating results that feel as good as they look. Focused on multiple case studies, team-based work, and immersive mixology + color labs—while also elevating presentation skills and refining formulation + technique.

There’s something special about slowing down, sharing knowledge, and elevating our work together.

Always a pleasure spending time with the team at
