Scalp Bleach

What the Service Involves

Your stylist will section your hair and apply lightener evenly from root to mid-length and ends, monitoring processing time closely based on your natural colour, hair history, and target lightness. After rinsing, a toner is applied to neutralize yellow or brassy tones and create your final shade. The full process typically takes 105 minutes, though timing varies with hair length, density, and starting colour.

• Bleach works by stripping natural pigment, so darker hair may need longer processing or a staged approach across multiple sessions
• Toner customizes the final shade, whether pale blonde, platinum, or a bespoke cool or warm tone
• If your hair has been previously coloured or chemically treated, your stylist may adjust developer strength and timing to suit

Who This Service Suits

Scalp bleach is ideal if you are seeking a bold blonde transformation or want to lighten your entire base to create a canvas for fashion colours or platinum tones. It is a more demanding service than off-scalp lightening, so a consultation is essential to assess your hair's condition, history, and suitability.

• Best results are achieved on virgin or lightly treated hair; heavily coloured or sensitized hair may need a phased plan
• Clients with very dark hair should expect the possibility of multiple sessions spaced at least two weeks apart
• Not suitable if you have recently straightened, permed, or heavily coloured your hair without professional guidance

Aftercare and Maintenance

Because bleaching lifts pigment and opens the hair cuticle, aftercare is critical to maintain moisture, tone, and overall hair health. Your stylist will recommend a routine tailored to your result and lifestyle.

• Use sulphate-free and alcohol-free shampoos to preserve colour and prevent dryness
• Keep heat styling tools at lower temperatures and always apply a heat protectant
• Incorporate nourishing masks and leave-in treatments to restore hydration and elasticity
• Book regular toning appointments to keep brassiness at bay and refresh your shade between full colour services
