About Salon Hår

At Salon Hår, we’re as passionate about the environment as we are about hair and beauty. So much so that we decided to open a salon that combines the best of both!

​

Our founder’s story

Louise’s childhood dream of owning a salon came to fruition in late 2020, after years of experience working in the hair and beauty industry. 

At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, Louise began to research how she and her family could be more environmentally friendly while stuck at home during lockdown. As part of a family of five, she quickly realised just how much waste our society produces, and how much we do (and don’t do) for our environment.

From this, Louise began to wonder how environmentally friendly a salon could be. So, the concept of Salon Hår was born, and although Louise founded and opened the salon in late 2020 (at the height of the pandemic), she didn’t let that stop her from achieving her new dream of a customer-first, eco-conscious salon.

How we stay eco-friendly

We use all-natural, professional, and affordable product ranges that advocate for environmental and social sustainability. 

We are also members of the Green Salon Collective and Salon Sustainability, both of which recycle waste that cannot ordinarily be recycled (including hair). We use as many renewables as possible, including:

• Foils

• Tint tubes and lids

• Colour wraps

• Shampoo and peroxide bottles

• Compostable towels

• Tissues and paper towels made of bamboo

• Compostable coffee pods

These are just a handful of examples of how we stay environmentally friendly.
