Sustainability is at the heart of everything I do. From the moment you step into the studio to the products I use on your hair, every decision is made with our planet in mind. It’s a key part of my passion for creating beautiful hair while also being a responsible business.
A Plastic-Free Approach
I’ve made it a priority to eliminate single-use plastics from all my services. This has meant re-evaluating how I work and where I source my supplies from. For those rare occasions where a single-use item is needed, I use biodegradable, corn-based PLA plastic that you can even compost at home. It’s my way of ensuring your salon experience doesn’t come at the cost of the environment.
Powered by Nature
Every bit of energy used, from the lights in the studio to the water for washing your hair, comes from 100% renewable sources like wind and solar power. Even this website runs on renewable energy! I believe in doing my part to reduce my carbon footprint wherever possible.
Smart Recycling
Minimising waste is a huge priority for me. I’ve partnered with a specialist recycling service that helps me responsibly manage what we can’t avoid. They recycle everything from the hair I cut to the foils from your highlights, turning them into new items or ensuring they are properly recycled. This is all part of my commitment to a circular economy, where waste is seen as a resource to be used again, not simply thrown away.
My Product Promise
I choose to work exclusively with independent brands that have a proven commitment to sustainability. I don’t use any major brands because, frankly, they’re not there yet.
- The products I select are based on a few key factors:
- Cruelty-free formulas
- Sustainable packaging
- Responsible production
- Ethical business practices and fair wages
Rethinking Towels
Instead of traditional cotton towels that require a huge amount of water and energy to wash, I use Scrummi towels. They’re made from 100% natural, compostable wood fibres from certified sustainable sources. Using Scrummi towels uses 65% less water and 95% less plastic than a typical salon.
I’ve also invested in Eco-Heads to reduce water consumption even further, and the gowns are made from deadstock fabric that would otherwise go to waste. Even the studio curtains are made from recycled PET bottles!
By making these small but meaningful changes, I hope to show that a beautiful, professional salon experience can also be a truly sustainable one.
