Aram Manoukian Hair Studio — Balayage, AirTouch-style blonding and Colour Specialist in Amsterdam
Amsterdam · 25+ years of experience
A private studio in the centre of Amsterdam. Balayage. AirTouch-style blonding. Highlights & More. Colour mixed for you, not from a chart.
The studio
Hair as a craft, not a transaction.
The door closes, and the city goes quiet. No ringing phones, no gossip drifting from the next chair, no half-heard conversations. A single chair on Geelvinckssteeg, a few minutes from the Flower Market, and for these hours it holds only one rhythm — yours.
This is a studio built around a single idea: that your time, and your attention, should never be shared. One client at a time, by appointment only.
Here, colour is never poured from a recipe. It is mixed in the moment — balayage, AirTouch-style blonding, highlights, blonde work, corrective colour — read from your skin, your eyes, the light you walk in. More than 25 years of professional hairdressing experience have taught me that the right shade has never lived on a chart.
We speak English, Dutch, Russian, Ukrainian, Armenian and Arabic. Whatever language you think in, describe it in that one — the result should be yours, not a version of it.

Your first visit
What to expect.
You arrive.
Geelvinckssteeg 10-A, in the centre of Amsterdam. The studio is private — no reception, no waiting room. The door opens directly into the chair.
We talk first.
Before any colour is mixed, we sit down. You bring references, photos, ideas — or none at all. I will tell you what your hair can hold and what will look right on you.
The work begins.
Cut, colour, treatment — whatever your appointment is for. One pair of hands, start to finish, without interruption.
You leave.
With the result we agreed on. Not a version of it.
