Job Description
Bleach London is the brainchild of renowned fashion hairstylist Alex Brownsell, who pioneered the twenty-first-century home hair colour revolution. She turned bleaching and dyeing friends' hair at home into the world’s first salon focused on colouring rather than cutting. Ten years, four locations and a ground-breaking product range later, Bleach London now ships an ever-evolving selection of home bleaches, toners, colour and care products all over the world. All formulas are vegan and cruelty-free and come with expert instructions that allow consumers to bleach and dye like a professional in no time.
To date, the company has sold over £30 million worth of products in the UK alone and is carried in retailers including Boots, Superdrug, Look Fantastic and ASOS, as well as Walmart, Kroger and CVS in the US. This is an excellent opportunity to join a female-led and Private Equity backed market disruptor.
