Ethos
We pride ourselves on being An Eco salon and Barber shop; conscious of our impact on the Earth and forever deepening our knowledge of what actions we can take to become even more green. As part of this we have partnered with brands/organisations who actively pursue environmental consciousness within the hair and beauty industries.
Insight
Insight are changing the landscape of ethical hair/skin care. From the bio-dynamic organic approach to growing ingredients for their products, to the reusable amber glass bottles and recyclable alluminium packaging. The detail and energy they bring to pursuing agricosmetics and eco-sustainability is unrivalled.
“Insight is a line formulated in our laboratory to create a synergic action between the ancient wisdom of phyto-extracts and phyto-oils and the ethical choice to work using organic ingredients. Nature is our source of inspiration.” - Insight
We use Insight across our hair and barbering services. Their products harness the power of nature without having a detrimental impact on the Earth. They are on the pulse of the latest innovation in using nature as a basis for hair care, knowledge they willingly pass on to those they work with to create a community of transparency, care and connectedness.
Being Green
And here are the other ways we are incorporating a green ethos across our salons:
Where possible we use natural materials within the salon for shelving, and displays. Plus we use a green energy provider.
At our wash basins we have Eco Heads. They use up to 65% less water and energy, filter unnecessary sediment from the water, and sustain a high pressure.
Simply Dry disposable towels: 100% bio-degradable, 10-15% more absorbent than similar brands, no bleach or pesticides.
Dyson hair dryers: Using less heat with a higher pressure makes these dryers more energy efficient whilst helping reduce heat damage to the hair. We opted for refurbished hair dryers too so we are not contributing to the demand for new manufacturing.
Foil Me Foil use recycled aluminium to create their foils making them stand out as a brand who are clearly conscious about the impact they have on the environment.
Paper Not Foil are a move away from conventional foil. Made from sustainable mineral paper they use 96% less energy to produce than aluminium, and no water is used in the manufacturing process. They can be reused up to 3 times before then being recycled.
