Sustainable Salons

Making Salon Waste History

Sustainable Salons is a social enterprise that helps its salon members reduce their impact on the planet and invest in local communities.

We are proud to call ourselves a sustainable salon and divert salon waste away from the landfill including hair, chemicals, foils, plastics, metals and containers.  

The day to day running of a hairdressing salon can put a substantial footprint on our environment…water usage, chemical waste, renewable resources waste like foils and tint tubes all add up, especially when you consider how many hairdressing salons there are. Due to our involvement in this program we are now proud to say that over 90% of our waste is recycled! Even the hair we cut is used in booms to soak up oil spills in the ocean. It really is a super cool program.

Funds created as a result of selling used foil, tint tubes and paper are donated to Ozharvest for every $1 donated these guys provide 2 meals to the homeless. They are incredible!

In addition – as if there could be anymore…Sustainable Salons are also linked to Variety Hair with Heart program, We donate your ponytails to kids, and now adults, with medical conditions such as alopecia or cancer.

To support the salon being sustainable a no obligation “green fee” of $2.00 is charged each visit and is used towards helping us to create a better environment and look after others that are less fortunate.

For hair colour we use O&M product formulas which are ammonia free and use active natural extracts and minerals, including native Australian ingredients like Lilly Pilly, Banksia Flower, Quandong, Tasmanian Sea Kelp and Davidson Plum, as well as quality essential oils that deliver real benefits. The formulas provide equal coverage to well-known premium colour brands but avoid harsh chemicals that can harm the you and our hairdressers. The scalp absorbs 60% more of chemicals than other parts of your body so we want to ensure you use the most natural products possible helping you feel comfortable, confident and most importantly leave with healthy hair.

After jumping around salons for a few years, I feel like I finally found home in Cranium. I have had my hair cut and treated by a number of different stylists and always been overwhelmingly happy with the result. I’ve taken all three of my children for haircuts and all loved their cuts and can’t wait to go back. The salon feels classy, modern and revitalised. You are always welcomed with a glass of bubbles and leave feeling like a new person. Amazing location, warm and friendly staff, Cranium has nailed the entire salon experience. I can’t wait for years of haircuts to come 💜
