The salon has been purpose built from scratch to ensure it is as sustainable as possible. It is well insulated and has energy-efficient LED lighting to reduce power demands, water-saving devices installed, and everything possible is recycled with a minimal to landfill policy in the salon. Salon also look greener with lot of live plants around the salon.
We are part of Sustainable Salons network.
Our plastic packaging is sent to specialist local plastics recyclers where it’s cleaned and made into outdoor furniture and new product packaging, keeping it in circulation and out of our oceans!
All aluminium, foil, colour tubes, cardboard, paper, magazines, razor blades, unwanted tools and select disposables are sold for recycling, and the proceeds are donated to Kiwi Harvest to provide meals for hungry people. A full head of foils in our salon will provide a quarter of a meal to someone in need!
Hair clippings that we sweep up from the salon floor are stuffed into stockings to make Hair Booms that will help clean up oil spills along our coastlines!
When our clients do the big chop, we donate their ponytails for wigs! All collected ponytails 20cm or longer are distributed to charitable organisations to create wigs for those suffering from cancer or alopecia.
We don’t have to watch our excess colour slip down the drain and into our waterways! We tip them into the chemical bucket, and send them off to beneutralised and turned into recycled water used in roadworks and construction.
Sustainable Salons is about making real, measurable change! That’s why we partnered with them. They have a transparency policy so we can be assured that our materials are actually going where we say they’re going…
We use Davines colour, haircare and styling which is not tested on animals. We love their philosophy behind their brand. For our skincare, we use Medik8, an anti-age range that thinks like a natural brand. We have always believed in green chemistry. All our products are, vegan-friendly and stringently against animal testing. All our retail lines that we stock are cruelty free and sulphate and paraben free.
Clients have a choice of 13 different herbal teas to choose from. We have a philosophy of taking a holistic approach and believe the importance of inner well being for ourselves to be beautiful.
We have a smaller carbon footprint and reduce the number of toxins released into the atmosphere. Future generations ultimately benefit from improved air and water quality, fewer landfills and more renewable energy sources.
We are not just a business doing seamless cutting, beautiful colour work and luxury beauty services, we are a cause related business that is ethically correct and cares for our environment.
