We’re part of an established network of collectors, recyclers, manufacturers and distributors to make sure up to 95% of materials from salons are diverted from landfill.

• Our plastics are collected, cleaned and upcycled into new products.
• All salon metals (including foil) and paper are sold for recycling, and the proceeds are donated to OzHarvest and KiwiHarvest to provide meals for hungry people.
• Hair is collected from the salon floor and stuffed into stockings to make Hair Booms that can one day help clean up oil spills along our coastlines.
• All collected ponytails 20cm or longer are distributed to charitable organisations to create wigs for those suffering from cancer or alopecia.
• Chemicals are collected, pooled and sent to chemical recycling plants where they’re neutralised and turned into recycled water.
• Select disposable hygiene products used during treatments are pulled apart and the materials are sent for repurposing.

What this means for our clients

$2 will be donated on your behalf for every transaction at hair&harlow Shellharbour to help us maintain being a sustainable salon without compromising your amazing experience with us.
