We mix bleach powder with low-volume developer and shampoo to create a gentler lightening formula that softens or lifts out artificial colour—perfect prep for your next shade. The price starts from £30 and depends on your hair length, thickness, and how much colour we're removing; toner is a separate step and charge. ## 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. ## Why Choose Park Row for Colour Correction Our stylists are **Keune Ambassadors and Selected Partners**, which means we have access to top-tier training, products, and colour expertise.

[Call to Book](tel:+441484722220) ## Frequently Asked Questions What is a bleach bath and how is it different from normal bleach? A bleach bath mixes bleach powder, low-volume developer, and shampoo to create a diluted, gentler lightening formula. It's less aggressive than full-strength bleach and is used to soften or remove old artificial colour rather than lift natural hair colour from scratch. How much does colour removal cost at Park Row? Prices start from £30 and vary depending on your hair length, thickness, how much colour we're removing, and the time required. Toner is not included and is charged separately. How long does a bleach bath appointment take? Around 90 minutes. Your stylist will monitor the process carefully, checking every five to ten minutes, and stop when the unwanted colour has lifted to the desired level. Will I get my final colour in one appointment? No—a bleach bath only removes or fades colour. You'll usually need a separate toner or new colour service afterwards to achieve a polished, finished shade, and that's charged separately. Can a bleach bath remove all my old dye in one go? It depends on your hair history. Very dark, red, or vivid fashion colours often need more than one session to fade fully. A consultation will help us set realistic expectations. Will a bleach bath damage my hair? It's gentler than full bleach, but it's still a chemical lightening process. Expect some dryness and porosity afterwards. If your hair is already very damaged, we'll discuss whether multiple milder sessions or alternative colour-removal methods are safer. What should I do before my bleach bath appointment? Avoid washing your hair for a few days so natural oils can protect your scalp. Let your stylist know about any previous chemical services (perms, relaxers, keratin) or scalp sensitivities. How do I look after my hair after a bleach bath? Use the professional homecare we recommend—hydrating masks, bond builders like Olaplex, and sulfate-free shampoo. Avoid excessive heat, and consider a trim to remove any compromised ends. Do I need to book toner at the same time? It's a good idea. Bleach baths often leave a warm or yellow tone that needs refining with toner or new colour. Let us know when you book so we can allocate enough time and explain the full cost. Can I get a free consultation before booking? Absolutely. We offer free 15-minute consultations for new clients (and existing ones with big colour plans), so you can chat through your hair history, see what's realistic, and get an accurate quote before committing.
