Oversikt
Alex Brownsell went from bleaching and colouring friends' hair (initially in her flat's kitchen sink) to co-founding Bleach London with friend and client Sam Campbell (Teasdale); they scraped together £6,000 for a chair, mirror and laptop in the back of Sharmadean Reid's WAH Nails salon, opening a dedicated Dalston colour salon in 2010.

Ingredienser & filosofi
Bleach London champions bold, unconventional hair colour as self-expression, deliberately staying polarizing rather than diluting itself for mass appeal, and aims to bring professional salon-standard bleaching, toning and colour to home users.
Kontroverser
Kontrovers
The brand's name drew criticism for sharing the title of Nirvana's 1989 debut album 'Bleach'; the Nirvana-linked copyright criticism was publicly rebuffed by Courtney Love, who defended Bleach London.↗
