About Olson Studio No Bleach Colouring
Olson Studio has been a trusted name in the hair industry for over 28 years, offering a wide range of services. Their No Bleach Colouring treatment is particularly noteworthy for its gentle approach to achieving vibrant and lasting colour!
One of the standout features of this service is the use of a unique blend of four to five colours to create the desired shade without the need for harsh bleaching agents.
This not only protects the hair’s integrity but also makes it a more affordable option, especially considering the salon’s prime location in Orchard Road.
The hair dye used in this treatment is formulated with low ammonia to minimise damage and is enriched with keratin, argan oil, and macadamia oil.
These ingredients work together to nourish the hair, strengthen bonds, and create a glossy, healthy finish.
One of the popular colour outcomes achieved with No Bleach Colouring is ash hair. This cool tone can be difficult to achieve without bleaching, but Olson Studio’s expertise and unique colour formulation make it possible.
Plus, when properly maintained, the colour can last for three months or more! Olson Tan, founder of his eponymous salon brand, recommends investing in a colour shampoo, applying hair oil, and using heat protection products before styling with hot tools.
Olson Studio No Bleach Colouring is priced at S$128 (U.P. S$250) for all hair lengths.

Hair condition: Frizzy
I’ve tried non-bleach hair colouring before at local salons, but the results were always a bit disappointing. The colour would fade quickly, and it would irritate my scalp. Olson Studio’s No Bleach Coloring appealed to me because they promised long-lasting colour.
Olson Studio’s environment was pleasantly air-conditioned and well-ventilated. The staff showed professionalism and attentiveness, consistently monitoring my comfort during the hair dyeing process. I appreciated their diligence in ensuring the water temperature was suitable and my scalp was not irritated.
My hair was a total mess before — a mix of grown-out black and some really bad home dye jobs. I wasn’t happy with it at all. But after talking to the staff at Olson Studio, I decided to go for a rose-pink/cherry red colour.
They said it would look great with my skin tone and makeup, and I trusted them! I was amazed when they told me they needed to mix seven different colours to get the exact shade I wanted.
The final result is incredible, and I’ve been getting so many compliments. I couldn’t believe I got such a pretty colour without having to bleach my hair! My hair always feels like straw after I dye it, but it’s super soft and silky this time. My hair still felt amazing and the colour was just as vibrant on the following day.
My hair was a disaster after years of DIY dye jobs. The salon transformed it into a stunning rose-pink without bleach, and the staff were incredibly gentle and professional. I’m obsessed with the results — totally surpassed my expectations!

Throughout the process, the staff at Olson Studio explained every step clearly and suggested colours that would suit me. They were very knowledgeable and professional, and I felt confident that my hair was in good hands.

My friends and family have commented that my hair looks better and healthier, as the previous colour was too flat.

The Olson Studio No Bleach Coloring appealed to me because they promised to deliver ash tones without bleaching.
At Olson Studio, the staff were very meticulous and explained that they mixed five different colours to achieve my desired ash-green-brown shade. I showed them a picture from Xiaohongshu, and they were able to match it perfectly.
There was no hard selling, and the entire process took only two hours. Throughout the process, they kept me informed about what to expect, and everyone was very pleasant and friendly. I felt incredibly well taken care of during my time at the salon.
I absolutely love the colour, and my hair doesn’t feel damaged at all. In fact, it feels smooth and manageable, even without doing a hair treatment. I walked out of the salon feeling like a brand new person.
I’ve washed my hair twice since the colouring, and the colour has not faded. My hair has been easy to manage and doesn’t feel dry, which I expected after colouring.
Olson Studio is one of my favourite salons in Singapore because they don’t hard sell, they treat you like a friend, and they give you your space if you need it. They’re very thoughtful and considerate of your feelings, and they even provide blankets and drinks if you’re cold.

Hair condition: Frizzy
Olson Studio’s No Bleach Coloring appealed to me because they promised to deliver ash tones without bleaching. I went for a non-bleach hair colouring service before, but they used organic hair dye instead. The colour was surprisingly vibrant, but it also faded quickly, within a week.
Olson Studio is cosy and the staff are friendly and professional. They check in to ask if everything is okay and if I’m feeling comfortable throughout the process. I felt like my hair was in good hands. Also, the entire treatment was really fast (at most two hours), which is great since I really dread sitting in the salon all day.
I actually let them suggest a hair colour for me, and we went with an ashy red. However, since my original hair already had quite a bit of an orange tone from previous dye jobs, the end result was an ashy orangey red.
I really like this colour and was happy with how vibrant it looks, even near my scalp where my original black hair shows a tone of orangey red. Also, my hair before the colouring service was very uneven from all the previous bleaching and dyeing, but they managed to dye it evenly in the end without bleaching.
My hair also looks healthy and smooth after dyeing, as no harsh chemicals were used. Overall, I’m really happy with my hair colour to the point that I ended up taking a lot of selfies with it.
The colour is still as vibrant, and my hair is still smooth and soft. Also, I noticed that the hair dye didn’t come off when I washed it for the first time. Usually, when I dye my hair red, the first few washes are stained with red dye, so I’m quite impressed with that.
The Olson Studio No Bleach Colouring stands out from other hair colouring services I’ve tried in the past. It’s much more comfortable and efficient, delivering excellent results without the need for bleaching.
Additionally, it’s reassuring to know that the dye includes keratin treatment components, which help keep my hair healthy. This way, I won’t feel guilty about putting my hair through another dye job.
My friends were really impressed by the colour outcome, as it is vibrant without requiring bleaching. They also found the price super affordable given the great results.
Overall, it’s a pleasant and painless experience and I’m really happy with the result. My hair is healthy, shiny, and soft in a beautiful shade of orangey-red, which is a colour I thought I would definitely need to bleach to achieve since my original hair is quite dark/stubborn.
The treatment duration was short, so I was able to go on with other plans afterwards instead of wasting my whole day in the salon. Also, there was no lingering chemical smell that we usually get after visiting a salon. The treatment has surpassed my expectations, and I’ll definitely recommend it to others.

The Olson Studio No Bleach Coloring appealed to me because the hair dye is low in ammonia and contains keratin treatment with argan oil and macadamia oil.
The staff at Olson Studio were attentive and checked in with me to make sure I was comfortable. They even provided blankets. My hairstylist suggested a “milk tea” colour, which complemented my warm skin tone.

I like that my hair feels healthier overall while achieving my desired dye results. My friend mentioned that the colour makes me look refreshed.
I appreciated being able to achieve bright colours without bleaching, the relatively quick process, and the healthier feel of my hair.
