Are you looking to become more eco-friendly in your salon? Making your business sustainable is all the rage. There are some basic steps you can take so you are doing your bit for the environment. Sustainability has become a responsibility for every individual and business. With a sustainable salon you will encourage green living – and save some money too. If you aren’t sure where to start, here are 3 easy ways to begin.

1. Go Digital 

Get rid of paper wherever you can. Use an online booking system instead of appointment cards. This is a far more eco-efficient way to take bookings. Send receipts by email instead of printing them out. Direct clients to your website for treatment and price lists. Send text messages to notify clients of appointments. Suggest clients take photos on their phones of your menu and price list. Or have a barcode they can scan which takes them to your website and price list. Much more eco-friendly than printing out sheets and sheets of paper.

2. Make Simple Eco Friendly Swaps

Get rid of plastics and opt for glass bowls and bottles. Switch out your lightbulbs for energy saving bulbs. Invest in ethical or biodegradable perishables. You can start with cotton wool and tissues. Ban single-use plastics. Use paper cups instead of plastic water bottles and ditch cotton buds.  Provide recycling bins throughout your salon to encourage your clients to recycle too. Invest in LED light bulbs. They may seem costly at first but they last 25x longer than a regular light bulb. They also use 75% less energy! Eco friendly and budget friendly.

3. Water Usage 

Make sure you are turning off the taps when they’re not necessary. Never leave them running if you’re applying treatments. If doing laundry (washing towels) don’t do multiple loads per day. Laundry loads are unavoidable. Do less frequent, bigger loads to make them more eco friendly. Also consider introducing single-use biodegradable materials. These are entirely compostable and reduce laundry costs. Only do laundry when necessary to conserve money and energy.
To make your salon reflect your eco ethos consider the décor. If you want to show your green side, consider redecorating to reflect your core values. Make sure everything is recyclable, eco-friendly – and looks clean and beautiful. Don’t forget – you’re selling the salon experience too!

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
