The Founder

A Career Built on One Question.

Thirty-five years behind the chair. Italy’s first specialist salon. A patent-pending invention. Nicola has always been driven by one question: how can we create beauty better?

Nicola Costantino and Titty Buttiglione, founders of I Love Blonde® and Magic Touch®

The Colorist Behind the Method.

Nicola Costantino began his career in hairdressing at just eleven years old. Decades later, alongside his wife and business partner, Titty Buttiglione, he founded I Love Blonde®, Italy’s first salon dedicated entirely to the art of blonde. That salon became the foundation of the Italian Blonde Touch Method®, a professional training program for colorists who expect more from their technique.

For Nicola, innovation begins with observation. Thousands of sessions. Thousands of clients. Thousands of moments when something could be done better. Magic Touch® is the result of that observation made tangible: a professional tool created by someone who studied the same challenge long enough to find a better solution.

The patent application reflects what makes Magic Touch® different: an original solution developed through years of hands-on experience, close observation, and a relentless focus on improving the way colorists work.

"I never set out to invent a tool. I was simply looking for a better way to create beauty."

The Career

  • 35+ Years Professional hairdressing and color expertise. Nicola’s career began at eleven years old, learning the craft alongside different hairdressers, each with their own techniques, styles, and approach to the profession. Those early years exposed him to many sides of hairdressing, but over time one area captured his attention more than any other: color. He became increasingly fascinated by how technique, precision, and an understanding of the hair could completely transform a result. That focus would eventually shape the direction of his entire career.
  • I Love Blonde® Founder of Italy’s first salon dedicated exclusively to the art of blonde.
  • Italian Blonde Touch Method® Creator of a professional training method that systematizes air-touch lightening for colorists at every level.
  • U.S. Patent Pending Inventor of the Magic Touch® professional tool, U.S. patent pending (Application No. 64/098,184), developed and refined inside I Love Blonde®.

Behind Every Vision

Behind I Love Blonde® and everything that grew from it stands Titty Buttiglione: Nicola’s wife, business partner, and co-founder. The salon was built together. The method was refined together. The brand that now carries their work beyond the salon was built together.

Every creative vision needs more than talent alone. It needs structure, consistency, and someone who can turn an idea into something that works every day. Titty has been that driving force from the beginning, shaping the business alongside Nicola and helping transform their shared vision into a lasting brand.

Innovation Comes From Observation.

Expertise built over decades of daily work cannot be rushed. Depth comes from repetition with intention: noticing what works, recognizing what does not, and caring enough to keep asking why, even when the answer is not immediate.

Magic Touch® was born from repeatedly reaching for a tool that should have existed and finding only inadequate alternatives. The belief behind it was simple: precision this important should never be left to chance.

Passing that knowledge forward through the Italian Blonde Touch Method® completes the vision. A technique that cannot be taught remains with the person who created it. A method that can be learned, repeated, and trusted allows the work to go far beyond any single pair of hands.

"The salon is still our laboratory. Every client and every session gives us something new to observe. We have never stopped learning."
