Elevate Hair Studio Exeter

Sustainablity

When I was setting up the studio I researched a lot.
A huge importance for me was how sustainable can I be?
I wanted the salon to be natural.

•Natural lighting.
having a shop window that gets the daylight worked in my favour, all important for hair colouring as you see the true colour.
Mirrors play a big part in bouncing light and I’m fortunate to have mirrors on one wall.

•LED lighting,
for when the daylight isn’t so good. No more replacing bulbs frequently
•Wood.
Wood is natural and calming. Making a relaxed atmosphere

•Eco Shower head.
This allows less water consumption and reduces frizz, antibacterial stones, double pressure water jets to relax and promote blood flow to the scalp.
•Sustainable products
Using products that are
-PCRP( post consumer recycled plastic )
-Sugarcane ()
-Recycled material ()

•Towels
I use micro fibre towels ( quick to dry) and bamboo fibre towels.
This reduces washing and the eco towels are biodegradable, all clients can take these bamboo towels away with them, to reuse, or repurpose. I know some have used to make Halloween outfits for dolls, and line flower baskets with!

•Paint
I use coat paint
Peel and stick samples, 95% less waste. Water based high quality low toxin, 1 coat coverage. No wasted paint.
•Plants
I may be known to be the plant murderer but I do strive to keep alive some plants, this promotes oxygen and calming affect to studio

•Green Salon Collective
Partnering with green salon collective, we recycle your hair to make hair booms, drain cover, nutrition for pot plants, add to food production and always finding other ways to reuse

• Appointment System
By using this appointment system, I can reduce the use of paper, sending out appointment reminders and booking
confirmation

•Toilet paper
As well as reducing the paper consumption I use toilet paper, made from recycled paper and 50%of profits go to charity- building toilets for clean sanitation around the world
