In this episode of the HTCI podcast, I’m thrilled to have Sarah Keane, aka SLK Bleach Expert, join us to discuss all things scalp bleaching.

As the only UK-based educator whose sole focus is scalp bleaching, Sarah is a wealth of knowledge on the topic. In our conversation, we explore the common fears and myths surrounding scalp bleaching, the lack of education on the topic for many hairdressers, and Sarah’s own journey to becoming a scalp bleach specialist.

Sarah emphasises the importance of knowledge and education in overcoming the fear associated with scalp bleaching. “Once you have the knowledge behind why you would do it a specific way/how to assess suitability, etc., the skill will naturally improve, lessening the fear,” she explains. Building confidence with the service is crucial, and the more knowledge hairdressers have, the better their understanding, leading to better results.

Sarah’s approach to teaching has helped hairdressers with over 20 years of experience who had never done a scalp bleach before. Now, they are building up a return clientele.

As Sarah likes to say, “practice means progress.”With the right knowledge and practice, stylists can improve their scalp bleaching skills and provide excellent service to their clients. The results that Sarah’s students achieve are a true testament to this. It’s a fascinating conversation that any hairdresser looking to expand their knowledge on scalp bleaching won’t want to miss.

Its a perfect listen for all hair colourists! Let’s dive in!

Today’s Guest

With 18 years as a hair colourist, Sarah started in a salon at 14, where she spent 5 of those years working at the UK’s home of platinum blonde, Bleach London.

You could say she knows a thing or two about blondes.Throughout her career, Sarah has managed salons, worked on brand campaigns, coloured hair for films and west end productions, assisted at London and Paris Fashion Week and she’s  even had her work featured in Vogue. But her true passion will always be Scalp Bleaching.

Sarah is the only UK based educator whose sole focus is scalp bleaching, and is committed to changing the narrative that’s been so wrongly attached to this service.
