Dalton Salon Blog
At Dalton Street Salon on John Dalton Street in Manchester city centre, we serve women across Greater Manchester with expert colour, precision cutting, and luxury treatments.
Lightening works by oxidising melanin pigments inside the hair cortex. This oxidation process breaks disulphide bonds — the strongest bonds responsible for hair's strength — and opens the cuticle. The higher the developer volume and the longer the processing time, the more bond breakage occurs. This damage is cumulative: multiple aggressive sessions close together push hair past its breaking point.
Olaplex included as standard during lightening reconnects broken disulphide bonds in real time, reducing damage by up to fifty percent. Low-and-slow lightening uses gentler developers (ten or twenty volume) and allows more time for controlled lift rather than maximum lift in minimum time. K18 repairs polypeptide chains post-colour. The gradual transition — two or three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart — is the healthiest path from dark to light. At Dalton Street Salon, we will never compromise your hair's health for speed. We would rather take two appointments to reach your blonde safely than deliver damaged blonde in one.
Our colourists are trained in the chemistry of hair colour and our stylists bring equivalent expertise to cutting. Every service begins with a thorough consultation. We use professional-grade products exclusively, with Olaplex included as standard in every lightening service.
