“Create meaningful relationships with clients”
At EdwardsAndCo, our clients are conscious consumers, so being able to tell them that we are a Sustainable Salon helps us to develop more meaningful relations with them. From a business sense, Sustainable Salons offers a rewards system that we can use to purchase sustainable products and salon supplies, which is amazing support for us.
— Jaye Edwards, EdwardsAndCo, Australia

“We only have one planet”
Sustainability matters to us as a collective at Telleish because we have only one planet, we are just renting it. Let’s leave it for our kids and grandkids in a better way than we found it.

“Clients know they are doing good by coming to the salon”
One of the things i'm really passionate about is the environment, and having my salon so environmentally friendly, with all our plants, and Sustainable Salons, it's great to be able to add that extra bit of sustainability into the daily practice of the salon. The clients love seeing me put things into the bins, seeing me empty that colour straight into the chemicals bucket. They just know they are doing good by coming into the salon.
— Hannah Louisa, Hannah Louisa Hair, Australia
