About Us

For over 20 years, Blond Brilliance® has been obsessed with creating the most innovative lightening systems for all hair types. Our story begins in a small Los Angeles salon, where our founders saw firsthand the damage caused by traditional highlighting and bleaching products. Most contained harsh chemicals like ammonia and peroxide that dried out and broke hair. They knew there had to be a better way.

After years of research and testing, we created a revolutionary lightening system free of damaging ingredients. Harnessing the power of naturally-derived extracts and oils, we developed permanent hair color and highlight kits that lift, tone and nourish in one step. No more compromising the health of your hair to go blonde!

Our Difference: Healthy, Salon-Quality Hair Color

What makes Blond Brilliance® different? Simple:

  • No ammonia or peroxide – Our bleach and highlighting powders are powered by gentle, non-irritating ingredients that lift color safely.
  • Nourishing oils & botanical extracts – Conditioning coconut, argan and marula oils replenish moisture and restore hair’s lipid barrier.
  • Multi-spectrum pigments – Our toners contain violet, blue and silver pigments to neutralize brassiness and enhance any shade of blonde.
  • Salon-quality results – Our lighteners lift up to 9 levels and provide even, consistent color from root to tip.
  • For all hair types – Formulas cater to fine, thick, curly, straight, natural and color-treated hair.
  • Cruelty-free & vegan – No products are tested on animals. Formulas are 100% vegan.

We put your hair health first, without compromising vibrancy or effectiveness. Our clients achieve salon-worthy highlights in the comfort of home!

Our Roots & Values

Blond Brilliance® was born in a small Los Angeles salon over 20 years ago. Our founders were a stylist and colorist team dedicated to creating safer, healthier lightening formulas.

Tired of seeing damaged, overprocessed hair fromHighlighting with harsh chemicals, they knew there had to be a better way. After months of research and testing, their efforts resulted in a breakthrough:

A conditioning lightener using natural alternatives to ammonia and peroxide. It lifted hair smoothly while keeping strands strong and shiny.

Word spread quickly about these “magical highlights” that didn’t fry your hair. Soon they were fielding calls from salons and clients across the country wanting to try them.

Fuelled by demand, the husband-wife team moved production to a commercial lab and officially launched Blond Brilliance® in 2000.

In over 20 years, we’ve never lost sight of our founding values:

1. Leading Innovation

We don’t follow hair color trends – we start them. Our team of chemists use the latest technologies to create hair-healthy formulas that lift, deposit and nourish.

2. Hair Health First

We only use non-toxic ingredients that nourish and protect hair. Your hair’s health is our #1 priority.

3. Cruelty-Free Ethos

No animal should suffer for beauty. We are proudly PETA-certified and Leaping Bunny approved.

4. Honest Education

We provide in-depth education on proper application so clients get consistent, safe results at home.

5. Community Commitment

We donate a portion of profits to organizations providing hair services to people in need, including cancer patients.

These core values steer every decision we make – from product development to education to social impact. They define who we are as a brand.
