Quick answer
What is Korean hair bleaching?
Korean hair bleaching is a controlled lightening process that lifts your natural color gradually and evenly while protecting hair health and shine. At Soonsiki Moment Hongdae, stylists analyze your hair history, set a bleach level that suits its condition, use pre-treatment protection, then tone and repair the hair for a clean blonde, ash or pastel base.

Why it matters
Lighter hair, stronger finish
Korean bleaching is about control: gradual lift, even results and care at every step, so the color you want afterwards actually works.
2
Even, predictable lift
Controlled application and strand testing when needed give consistent results from root to tip.
3
Ready for color
Toning neutralizes yellow or orange so your blonde, ash or pastel shade looks clean.

The transformation
From dark base to bright, vivid color
Dark hair usually needs lifting before light or vivid shades can show. A planned bleach and tone turns a deep base into a clean canvas for the color you want.
- You want to go blonde or much lighter
- You plan ash, pastel or vivid colors
- Your dark hair needs lifting before coloring
- You want a K-pop inspired transformation

FAQ
Hair bleaching questions, answered
Will bleaching damage my hair?
Any bleach changes the hair, but Soonsiki uses pre-treatment protection, a lift level based on your hair condition and a repair treatment afterwards to minimize damage. Professional bleaching is far safer and more even than DIY methods.
Can I go from black hair to platinum blonde?
Often yes, but it depends on your hair history and condition. Your stylist will assess this at consultation and may suggest a strand test or a gradual plan to reach very light shades safely.
Is toning included after bleaching?
Toning and color adjustment are part of the bleaching process to neutralize yellow or orange tones. Learn more about hair toning, or combine bleach with a full hair color for vivid shades.
What if only my roots have grown out?
You may only need a root bleach, which lightens new growth to match your previously bleached lengths.
How much does hair bleaching cost and how long does it take?
Price and time depend on your hair length, history and the level of lift. Send a photo and ask us on WhatsApp for current price/time before you book.
