Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'peroxide' (a bleaching chemical) modifies 'blond' to indicate a blond hair color produced by bleaching. This modifier + noun pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Peroxide blond comes from using peroxide, a chemical, to make hair blond. So it means a person whose blond hair was made by 'bleaching' rather than being natural.
