Paving the Profitable Path to a Better World .

Are you leaving a legacy? By Paul Frasca

The New Year is the perfect time for rejuvenation, isn’t it? It’s a moment to assess the achievements of the past year and draw inspiration for the future. As we step into the new year, I invite you to consider:

How can your salon become a force for good, benefiting both your clients and the environment?

In our industry, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a key to success. Building connections with the local community, maintaining profitability, and adopting eco-friendly practices go hand-in-hand. By integrating systems that prioritise people, the planet, and profit, your salon can lead the way, leaving a lasting impact on both the hairdressing industry and the Earth.

Connect, Create & Cultivate! Community Connection

Fosters Growth.

What’s a salon without a thriving community around it? The benefits of giving back are clear. As well as making a BIG difference in people’s lives, you:

• Foster a solid customer base

• Enhance client loyalty

• Increase retention

• Drive long-term success

Now’s a great time to let your salon’s values shine through. You don’t need grand gestures to make a difference! World-changing conversations can happen within your salon, and that’s why Sustainable Salons equips all of its members with knowledge of how the materials we collect (hair, plastic, foils & more) are recycled within our system, ensuring you can share this impact with your clients.

This knowledge empowers staff, attracts, and retains clientele, and greatly contributes to Making Sustainability Reality. I once visited a salon where the staff placed a small collection tin at the front counter. Clients could make a small donation when leaving.

The reception staff rang a bell whenever a client donated, and the whole salon applauded. Can you imagine how great that person felt? As hairdressing professionals, you already have so much power in elevating a person’s self-confidence.

So why not expand this kindness to your community? Encouraging positive social impact within your salon can ripple out and have unimaginably positive outcomes.

Transform Lives with Sustainable Salons

When you become a Sustainable Salon, you maximise your impact. As well as helping you generate more profit, our network enables you to:

Provide jobs to those with disabilities.

50% of Sustainable Salons’ workforce is made up of employees with disabilities. When you join our network, you help us provide meaningful employment.

Donate meals to those in need

Sustainable Salons collects the paper and metals salons just like yours, which are then sold for repurposing. 100% of the proceeds from these sales are then donated to Oz Harvest and KiwiHarvest to help feed those in need.

Will You Follow Or Lead The Transformation?

At Sustainable Salons, we’re creating a world where sustainability is not just a buzzword, but a reality. One where people and the planet can all profit. After all, to be sustainable is to be successful.

As Naomi Browner, Owner of Bare Beauty House and a Sustainable Salons Member, says: “Clients seek us out because we can offer that extra for them. They can come and have luxurious hair and beauty treatments and know that it’s sustainable, using toxic-free products on them and that we are recycling correctly.” Naomi Browner, Owner of Bare Beauty House
