Green Salon
Work with us to provide a sustainable salon
We all love the hairdressing industry but we also know it has an ugly side too.
We freely pour toxic hair colour down the sink.
We throw out used foils and colour tubes in the regular bin given they mostly can't be recycled.
We use more plastic and paper than the other shops on the high street.
We even throw valuable hair cuttings into the bin.
Boldero and Filby is working with the Green Salon Collective to change all this!!!
Founded by environmental experts, hairdressers and eco campaigners the Green Salon Collective is the original authority on holistic sustainability throughout the UK and Ireland.
