Superfood for your soil and plants, powered by hair!
Hair clippings have been viewed as waste for too long! Their untapped potential is absolutely staggering, and here at Sustainable Salons, we’re changing the way we view and use hair clippings.
In partnership with compost guru Jackie Yong, we’ve created Soilz Alive – a first of its kind soil treatment that regenerates and re-energises your soil to encourage healthy plant growth. It is a hairy natural alternative to chemical fertilisers.
Meet the founder
Jackie Yong’s passion for hair began in Malaysia, where she frequented a local salon as a child. When she moved to Melbourne, aged seven, that seed lay dormant. Jackie pursued a Commerce/Science degree, but Jackie’s boundless energy and creative spirit sought more…she seized an opportunity: a hair salon for sale. Thus, Jack, Jack, Jackie was born! With determination, she became a qualified hairdresser, earned awards, and cultivated a successful business: Soilz Alive.
