In 2020 when the salon was closed for the first time due to the pandemic I was left with the gift of time to review my business. During this time I took a long look at all the stock, and had time to review my bills. This led to me realising that we waste too much, water, energy and rubbish.
I then went on to see how I could change. It was easy to change lighting and electric supplier but what do I do with all the rubbish we have. All salons have the same problem with chemicals, foil, hair and of course plastic and PPE. It was impossible for the council to process these, so land fill is where it was going. I was told it was un- recyclable.
But, I kept looking and I came across the green salon collective. They claimed to be able to recycle the un-recyclable. It was set up by a group of salons for salons. After researching and finding out what they could do, I joined.
Now I’m pleased to say we recycle 90% of our rubbish. Please check out the link to see where it goes.
I have also changes a lot of our products to vegan or organic with packaging that can be recycle. We offer a refill service on shampoos and conditioners and have a full range of men products that are in cans or jars, and can be refilled.
I am always on the look out now for changes and in the new year we will be changing our colour house too.
I hope you enjoy our journey.
