Sustainability
Proud to be carbon neutral
and 95% sustainable
Our commitments to ethical business practices and environmental sustainability are at our very core. For a decade we have been industry leaders in turning those beliefs into commercial practice – in every aspect of our business. In 2016 we won the Inner West Council Rethink Waste Award for avoiding, reducing, reusing and recycling waste.
Sustainable Salons
We are proud to have been part of Sustainable Salons Australia from its very beginnings. Around a decade ago, when Sustainable Salons was just a small pilot program, we were amongst the first to sign on. For a few months we monitored in detail all the waste we were generating and Sustainable Salons gave us back the data. Since then we’ve been able to reduce our annual landfill contribution massively from 8 cubic metres to 1/2 a cubic metre. Those big purple bins mean we recycle 95% of the waste generated by our salon.An ethically curated product range
Every day in our salon we use a comprehensive range of products which have biodegradable packaging and are organic and vegan. A product is vegan if it does not contain any ingredients derived from animals, such as milk, honey, beeswax or keratin. It also means no animal testing was done in relation to its production.
Built to conserve energy
When our Summer Hill salon was constructed in 2016, all our downlights were fitted with environmentally friendly, low-output LEDs as part of a government-led energy saving initiative. Our large salon windows were designed to let the light in during winter and reduce aircon usage. We tinted the top of each window to reduce the glare. The big table that’s such a feature of our salon is made entirely of recycled timber.We are constantly looking for more and better ways to reduce the carbon footprint of our business, while delivering the best in cutting, styling, colouring and caring for your hair.
