WI T H S U P P L IE RS OF E CO - S U S TA I N A B L E S A L O N P R O D U C T S Gentle Beauty have supplied ColourHerbe, the original non-ammonia professional hair colour system, to salons for over 15 years. The original colour system is formulated with plant extracts and oils to colour gently and effectively without compromising the health of your client, your colourist or your salon. Theo Bambacas, Master Stylist and Manager of Grip Hair and Body in Wimbledon, suggests ways to introduce a more eco-friendly approach to your business, which will ultimately benefit your clients, your staff and our planet: • We have used ColourHerbe as our stand-alone permanent hair colour range for nearly 20 years and it has never failed to give us the results we want. Whether we are seeking the most natural looking 'un-coloured' result or vibrant fashion shades that last, ColourHerbe delivers it all with the most natural ingredients available. • The fact that none of the colours or products we use contain ammonia, MEA or other ingredients that give off toxic fumes means we have no nasty smells getting in the way of the certified organic essential oils that are in the products we use. As a result clients often remark how nice the salon smells. • We stock non-toxic and certified organic hair and skin care for our clients to take home, and use these at the backwash.
