Helpful hints to ‘go green’ in salon
Easy ways to save money and the planet

Save water

  • Installing efficient equipment can save you money.
  • Watch out - a dripping tap wastes up to 7 litres of water in an hour.


Save energy

  • Use energy saving lamps and fluorescent lamps with electronic ballast.
  • When radiators are on, windows should be closed!


Be chemical conscious

  • Avoid using strong cleaning agents.
  • Use CFC-free sprays.
  • Always empty your colouring tubes – this way less dangerous substances get into the disposal cycle.


Reduce waste

  • Use eco-friendly paper bags for OTC products.
  • For ‘give-aways’, natural, organic bags could be chosen.
  • Only mix the amount of colour you need.
  • Reuse and recycle.


Interior design

  • By using particular colours, natural materials and decoration it is possible to get the green touch without spending a huge amount of money.
  • Plants arouse the feeling of being united with nature. They purify the air and can provide a nice fragrance.
  • Wooden furniture and flooring can add a natural warm feel to the salon.
  • Inexpensive colour changes can create a green ambience.


Laundry tips

  • Use the smallest amount of detergent possible.
  • A pre-wash is not necessary when using a modern washing machine. 
  • Don‘t use fabric softener – they reduce the absorption ability of towels.
  • Always fully load your washing machine.
  • Don’t use a dryer – they waste a lot of energy - try to dry your laundry after business hours.
  • A hot wash is not necessary – modern detergents clean your laundry at a temperature between 40°C and 60°C.
  • Colour compact detergents are mostly eco-friendly.
