As a salon owner, or any business owner for that matter, you have the responsibility to make sustainable choices. The choices you make, especially regarding the products you use, have a long-lasting and often irreversible impact.
Have you been considering making swaps to more eco-friendly products but simply do not know where to start? While the task can seem challenging, especially if you are looking at swapping over to solar power and other significant changes, there are, in fact, many small yet highly effective eco-friendly swaps that you can make in your salon today!
Disposable Nitrile Gloves
In a busy salon, you can go through dozens of pairs of gloves in a week. You want to ensure that the gloves you throw in the bin do not have a negative environmental impact, which is why disposable nitrile gloves are such a great choice. They are biodegradable
Eco Salon Towels
Cotton towels are out and disposable eco towels are in. There is no need to use loads of resources such as water and electricity when it comes to washing and drying. Simply use the disposable eco towel as you would a normal towel and then throw it in the bin, where it will break down in a matter of weeks.
Biodegradable Coffee Cups
Most good salons will have hot drinks available for their staff and clients. And a major source of unnecessary waste can be disposable coffee cups. If you are going to use disposable coffee cups at your salon, you should swap over to biodegradable coffee cups.
Colour Remover Eco Wipes
How many times a day do you use colour remover wipes in your salon? Well, swapping over to eco wipes that will break down in a few weeks is one of the easiest swaps you can ever make. They work just the same but they have a softer, more natural smell and are just as effective.
Organic Sanitiser
Organic sanitiser is far better for the environment and is softer on your hands, as it is more moisturising. This is yet another very easy swap to make.
