Colour Removal (Bleach Bath)

What Happens During Your Appointment

Your stylist will section your hair and apply the diluted bleach mixture to damp hair, usually starting on the mid-lengths and ends where old colour tends to be darkest. The formula is carefully monitored—checking every five to ten minutes—until the unwanted pigment has lifted to the right level. Once we've hit that sweet spot, everything is thoroughly shampooed out and conditioned to restore some moisture. The whole process takes around 90 minutes, but remember: this service removes colour; it doesn't give you a polished final shade. You'll typically need a separate toner or new colour applied afterwards (charged separately) to get the look you're after.

Who It's For (and What to Expect)

Bleach baths are brilliant for:

• Fading old dye before a big colour change or going lighter
• Softening very dark or vivid colours that need gentling down
• Evening out patchy colour so your next shade takes evenly

Because the shampoo dilutes the lightener, it's less aggressive than straight bleach—but it's still a chemical process. Your hair will feel drier and more porous afterwards, and very dark, red, or stubborn fashion colours might need more than one session. A quick free 15-minute consultation with one of the team (Janet, Lynzie, Beckie, Alicia, Jess, or Imogen) will help set realistic expectations based on your hair history and what you're hoping to achieve.

Before and After Your Bleach Bath

Before:
Avoid washing your hair for a few days so natural oils can protect your scalp. Let us know about any previous chemical services (perms, relaxers, keratin treatments) or scalp sensitivities—they can affect how we approach the service.

After:
Expect some dryness and textural change. We'll recommend the right Keune or Olaplex homecare (hydrating masks, bond builders, sulfate-free shampoo) to keep your hair in good shape between visits. You might also want to book a trim to tidy up any compromised ends. And if you're going on to toner or a new colour, make sure you've allowed enough time in your appointment—your stylist will talk you through the full plan and cost up front.
