Our scalp bleach service lifts evenly at the root, refines with a bespoke toner, and protects hair strength throughout for a clean, luminous finish. ## What's Included Everything you need for an even, healthy-looking blonde. - Personal consultation to map your target blonde and assess hair and scalp condition. - On-scalp lightener application with protective barrier and bond care. - Timed processing and close monitoring for an even lift. - Thorough rinse, pH reset and gentle scalp cleanse. - Bespoke toner or gloss to refine tone, from creamy to icy. - Strengthening treatment to support softness and shine. - Precision blow-dry and finish to check tone and blend. - Homecare plan and rebooking advice so results last. ### Who It's For Ideal if you want a uniform blonde from root to tip, whether soft and creamy or bright and icy. It also sets a clean base for pastels and high-fashion tones. Best for clients ready to maintain regular regrowth appointments and who prioritise hair health. If you prefer low maintenance or multi-dimensional colour, highlights or balayage may suit you better. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Most scalp bleach retouches sit around 45 to 60 minutes for application and processing, depending on hair density and starting shade. First-time or major lightening can take longer and may be staged for safety. Plan regrowth appointments every 4 to 6 weeks. Keeping to this cycle avoids banding, protects scalp comfort and keeps your blonde even. A skin test may be required before your first colour service. Arrive with dry hair and avoid washing for 24 to 48 hours to allow natural oils to protect the scalp. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Use sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner. Introduce a purple shampoo once or twice a week to neutralise warmth. Feed strength with regular bond-building care and a weekly hydrating mask. Always use heat protection and lower heat settings when styling. Rinse hair after swimming, shield from strong sun and book retouches promptly. Your colourist will advise toner top-ups to keep your shade refined between visits.

A scalp bleach applies lightener directly to the root area for an all-over lift. Highlights use foils to lighten selected strands for dimension. Choose scalp bleach for a uniform blonde base. Can I go platinum in one visit? It depends on your starting shade, hair history and condition. Some can reach a clean blonde in one visit, while darker or previously coloured hair may need staged lifting. We will map the safest route at consultation. Will a scalp bleach damage my hair? Lightening changes the hair’s structure, so care is essential. We assess your hair and scalp, use bond-building care and monitor processing to protect strength. If it is not suitable, we will suggest alternatives. How often will I need a retouch? Plan a regrowth retouch every 4 to 6 weeks. Waiting longer can cause banding and make lifting less comfortable, as the scalp heat effect reduces further from the root. How should I prepare and what will it feel like? Avoid washing for 24 to 48 hours before and come with dry hair. A skin test may be required. Expect a warm, tingling sensation during processing, which should remain tolerable. Tell us if you feel any discomfort.
