What does it mean to be a sustainable Salon?
​
​
“I am committed to sustainable growth that encourages social responsibility and respect for the planet. This simple initiative can make all the difference to what was once landfill waste become a future resource” -Natalie Varrasso
​
​
​
Retreat Hair now recycles 95% of its waste by using the comprehensive resource recovery program offered by Sustainable Salons.
Rather than contaminating the waterways, excess chemical waste now go to a chemical recycler to be neutralised into recycled water used in construction and roadworks.
​
Plastics are also recycled into outdoor furniture and underground sheeting to protect the NBN.
​
What’s more, at Retreat Hair we love that all proceeds from recycling are donated to OzHarvest and KiwiHarest to fund meals for disadvantaged people – Sustainable Salons donates more than 2,000 meals every month!
Collected ponytails are redirected to charitable wig-making services and organisations to provide wigs for those suffering from alopecia or cancer, while cut hair is made into Hair Booms used in oil-spill clean-up operations.!
As clients become more aware of the impact products have on the environment, they have also welcomed the opportunity to make a difference!
By joining Sustainable Salons, Retreat Hair is happy it can support charities and benefit the community, while also taking care of a huge waste problem!
