Our Commitment

We’re proud to be part of the Sustainable Salons Network, doing our part to reduce salon waste and give back to the community.

So what does this really mean?
By working with Sustainable Salons, we aim to reduce our landfill waste by 70% by finding repurposing solutions that benefit the environment and give back to the community. For example, our plastic bottles, packages and bags will be recycled into new products and kept out of our oceans.

It doesn’t stop there… all proceeds from the recycled materials will go to help feeding those in need in NZ via a charity called Kiwi Harvest.

Further steps we’re taking to be more sustainable…

Green Fee

Our clients also play an important role in helping us to maintain and build upon our sustainability efforts. At the bottom of your treatment invoice you will notice a $3 Green Fee. This fee goes directly towards these efforts as we view sustainability as an integral element of our business.

Black Bio Gloves

Did you know that common medical-grade gloves last a very long time (100+ years) and some are part plastic so may never truly break down. Being hygienic is VERY important to us, unfortunately this does mean we go through about 50 per day, that’s 20 boxes of gloves a week! These biodegradable gloves break down in 1 to 3 years depending on the environment or landfill they are disposed into! (It’s not perfect but it’s a great step in the right direction).

Recycling our needles

We use thousands of these every month and Sustainable Salons has recently launched a programme to recycle sharps safely. We’re also repurposing the plastic on our BotoxⓇ vials. The rubber tops of our favourite little vials cannot be re-purposed outside of the salon (yet… although we’ve heard that some rubber is being turned into bricks to build homes in third world countries!) so instead we’re using them as needle holders.

Our very own, tailored solution to dividing waste

Next time you are in the clinic you may notice 4 little white bins in each of our treatment rooms. These help make dividing chemicals, plastics, foils and plastic as simple as possible.

We appreciate your support in helping us do our bit for this earth.
