Sustainable Salons is a social enterprise that helps salons, barbers, and beauty businesses reduce their environmental impact by turning waste into valuable resources. They collect and repurpose materials like hair clippings, metals, plastics, chemicals, and paper that would otherwise end up in landfill. Hair, for example, is used to clean up oil spills or make wigs for people experiencing hair loss. Profits from recycled materials fund meals for those in need through charitable partnerships. By joining the Sustainable Salons network, businesses like The Station Hair Company contribute to a circular economy — one that values people, the planet, and progress equally.

  • What we're doing

    • We actively divert salon waste from landfill by collecting and repurposing materials wherever possible. According to Sustainable Salons, their network has diverted over 2.2 million kg of resources so far.
    • We support hair donation programmes, helping create wigs for children and others in need.
    • We choose brands, products and processes that align with our ethical and environmental standards — it’s not just about “green” words, it’s about measurable action.

  • How it works at our salon

    • When you visit us for a cut, colour or styling, you’re contributing to a salon that takes responsibility for its materials and waste streams.
    • Our team sorts and sends relevant materials to accredited channels through the Sustainable Salons system — including metal foils, plastics and hair donations.
    • We track our impact and share it with you. For example: we’ll publish yearly updates on how many kilograms we’ve diverted, how many ponytails donated, and our broader community contributions.
