A double process color, commonly known as a bleach and tone, is the ultimate transformation technique for achieving bright, light-reflective, and beautifully customized blonde. At Blonde and Bronde Salon in Boston, we specialize in expertly executed bleach and tone services for clients seeking everything from icy platinum to creamy beige blondes—with health, integrity, and tone precision always top of mind.

Unlike a single process color, which deposits pigment in one step, a double process involves two distinct phases: lightening the hair to remove natural pigment, followed by toning to refine and customize the final shade. This technique is ideal for clients looking to go significantly lighter, especially for global blonding or all-over platinum results.

Who Is It For?

A double process bleach and tone is best suited for:

• Clients going from darker natural levels to bright blonde

• Those who desire a platinum blonde, cool icy tone, or high-fashion pastel

• Individuals looking for an ultra-consistent, root-to-end blonde with no dimension

• Clients who maintain all-over blonding as part of their signature look

What to Expect

Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation. Your stylist will evaluate your current color, hair condition, and scalp sensitivity before creating a custom lightening strategy. The first step is applying professional-grade lightener to lift your natural pigment. Once your desired level of lift is achieved (usually a pale yellow stage), your hair is thoroughly rinsed and prepped for the second process—a precision toner tailored to your skin tone, desired finish, and maintenance goals.

At Blonde and Bronde Salon, we use only the highest-quality lighteners and bond protectors to maintain the strength and integrity of your hair throughout the process. A glossing toner and custom root shadow (if desired) are then applied to perfect the tone—cool, warm, icy, or creamy.

Expect this service to take 2.5–4 hours depending on hair length, density, and starting level. Maintenance is typically needed every 4–6 weeks for root retouches and toning refreshes.

Why Choose a Professional Double Process?

A double process is a complex chemical service that requires advanced skill, proper timing, and deep knowledge of hair chemistry. At our Boston salon, each bleach and tone is tailored to your unique hair type, scalp health, and lifestyle to avoid common issues like uneven lift, breakage, or brassy tones.

This is not a treatment to try at home—professional application ensures even lift, customized tone, and lasting results with minimal damage. We also provide a personalized aftercare plan to help maintain softness, shine, and tonal longevity between visits.
