A Truly Ethical Salon

Being as ethical as possible is incredibly important to us, we take less out of this planet than we give. It's not about talking the talk, here's how we walk the walk...

Waste

Waste covers a massive part of the business because this is the biggest impact we can make.

When fitting out the salon we bought second hand wherever possible. It would honestly be easier for us to name the items that we bought new (trolley, boiler, light fixings) When taking down the wall we even saved the timber and plasterboard to use downstairs.

We dispose of my hair waste using The Green Salon Collective and compost coffee grounds and tea bags.

We use an eco head to save water and opted for an energy efficient boiler to heat our water.

We use the number one ethical energy company Ecotricity to supply the salon - They invest back into making clean energy!

Finance

We want to know that where we spend our money is being put to good use.

We bank with an ethical bank and use an ethical (well as good as we can) pension company, both of which do not invest in fossil fuels. We support local businesses and where possible black owned suppliers and businesses.

Animal exploitation

Animal testing does not belong in the cosmetics industry. We use B-corp certified company Organic Colour Systems for our products they are also based in the New-Forest just up the road so less air miles! We also research new products we use to ensure they don't test on animals too.

Community

People over profit - Yes of Course we're here to make profit but what if we supported people too? To us this looks like...

Inclusive pricing - holding pay what you can days once a month

Gender neutral pricing - paying based on the length of your hair not gender

Mirrorless appointments - for those who might not want to stare at themselves throughout

Quiet appointments - for those who dislike small talk we'll chat curls only
