Glebe, Newtown, Annandale, Marrickville. The Inner West thinks about where its coffee beans, its veggies and its jeans come from. So it’s fair to ask the same question about your hair salon.
Hairdressing isn’t a clean industry. Foils, colour tubes, towels, hot water and a lot of product going down the drain. We’re a Certified Sustainable Salon, and we’d rather tell you what that means than slap a green leaf on the door and call it a day.
It’s about the small stuff, done every day
Sustainability in a salon isn’t one big gesture. It’s a hundred small decisions made consistently: Did you know foil can be rec ycled infintly ? and yes we scrunch our dirty foil into little balls so we can recycle. But how we use colour, what we do with waste, which products we stock, and how much water and energy a service uses. Done once, none of it matters much. Done every day for years, it adds up.
The products we choose
We work with brands like O&M and Original & Mineral because we care what’s in the bottle and where it ends up. Good products also mean better hair, so this isn’t a trade-off. Your colour looks great and we’re not cutting corners to get there.
Why we bother
We’ve been in Glebe since 2007. This is our neighbourhood, and we’d like it to still be a good place to live in another twenty years. Being award-winning means nothing if we’re not also doing right by the community that got us here.
What you can do at home
Most of your hair’s footprint happens in your bathroom, not ours. Wash less often, use cooler water, and don’t over-buy product. Ask us what you really need and we’ll tell you honestly, even if it means selling you less.
Want colour you’ll love from a salon you can feel good about? Come and see us.
