Tired of experimenting on her friends' hair in her kitchen at home, our co-founder Alex Brownsell took a break from working as a hairstylist on fashion shoots to open her own hairdressers with her best friend Sam Teasdale. The result was Bleach London, the world's first salon focused on colouring rather than cutting. Starting out as a single chair and sink in the corner of Wah Nails Dalston, it grew into its own premises in 2010.
