Creative Graphic Designer

Welcome to Bleach!

The meteoric rise of hair brand Bleach London is best described by Time Out as “The grungy salon that pioneered the dip-dye, then conquered the globe.” The female-led, boundary-pushing business was launched by Alex Brownsell and Sam Campbell in 2010 as the world’s first salon focused on colour.

With a closely knit family of international premises, ever-expanding vegan product range and intuitive digital salon services, Brownsell has reimagined the way people approach their hair. We’re on a mission to make Bleach’s expertise accessible to all, so anyone can express themselves through their hair colour affordably and informatively.

Carried in UK retailers including Boots, Superdrug, Cult Beauty and ASOS, Bleach London opened a LA Based Salon in 2021 and has numerous significant US National Retailer launches in 2022 and 2023 with more to come. The coveted Bleach brand, regularly featured in Vogue, Dazed, i-D and more, paired with its pioneering approach, marks a new era in digital beauty and at-home hair dyeing.
