Our shared mission of supporting sustainable brands and spreading the word about clean care is a huge part of the greater goal of changing salons and the beauty industry for the better. We’re here to share some practical ways that you can minimize your salon’s plastic waste and work toward a greener tomorrow!
Sustainable Swaps for Single-Use Plastic
Start by identifying the common single-use plastic items in your salon, such as gloves, plastic wrap, and foils. Explore eco-friendly alternatives like reusable gloves or biodegradable, plant-based capes. These swaps not only reduce plastic waste but also showcase your commitment to sustainable practices.
Embrace Refillable and Bulk Products
Create a refill station of your favorite bulk or liter-sized hair and skincare products. Encourage your clients to bring back their empty containers and reward them with discounts on refills. By reducing single-use packaging, you’ll create a greener salon environment while fostering customer loyalty.
The Beauty of Clean Beauty
Clean beauty isn’t just a trend; it’s a movement towards healthier choices for ourselves and the planet. Explore natural and organic hair and skincare brands that prioritize sustainability, avoiding unnecessary packaging and harmful chemicals. Educate your clients about the benefits of clean beauty and help them make eco-conscious choices.
Eco-Friendly Tools and Accessories
Upgrade your salon tools to eco-friendly alternatives. Choose brushes and combs made from sustainable materials like bamboo, use washable and reusable cotton pads instead of disposable ones, and invest in high-quality, long-lasting towels and capes. These small changes add up and show your dedication to a plastic-free salon.
