Eco Commitment

awards and media
At Hair Art & Beauty, nestled in New Zealand, our core is deeply rooted in sustainability. This commitment permeates every aspect of our operations, from choosing eco-friendly partners like La Biosthetique to employing sustainable practices that protect our environment for future generations. Our approach isn't just a strategy; it's a reflection of our belief in our responsibility towards the planet.
We integrate sustainability into our business model, emphasizing energy efficiency, local sourcing, and reducing our carbon footprint. Our partnership with the Sustainable Salons initiative highlights our efforts in waste management, transforming up to 95% of salon resources into reusable materials and supporting community initiatives like Kilmarnock Enterprises.
Our recent expansion further illustrates our commitment, incorporating reclaimed materials, energy-efficient solutions, and exploring renewable energy to create an eco-conscious space. Our team embodies our sustainability ethos, continually trained in eco-friendly practices and engaging in initiatives that minimize our environmental impact, from digital magazines to recycling schemes.
Our journey is ongoing, marked by a dedication to adapt and innovate for a sustainable future. Hair Art & Beauty stands as a beacon of sustainability in the beauty industry, demonstrating that environmental stewardship and business success can coexist, crafting a legacy of eco-conscious beauty in New Zealand.
Community Community

Our team is proud to support multiple charities and community groups. We have ongoing donations to St Albans School, our local primary school, to provide uniform and stationery. We have partnered with Dress for Success Christchurch to run fundraising initiatives, as well as providing hair and makeup services for their amazing fashion shows. We also have yearly fundraising events to support the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. 

 

At Hair Art & Beauty, our commitment to Biodiversity and Conservation extends beyond our shores, from nurturing local ecosystems with onsite beehives to supporting the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary in Kenya. This global to local approach underlines our dedication to preserving nature's delicate balance, showcasing our efforts in safeguarding diverse habitats and species for future generations.

 Fair Trade Fair Trade

We are routinely educated and reminded of ecologically friendly practices. We prioritize partnerships with suppliers like La Biosthetique, who share our dedication to fairness, quality, and environmental stewardship.

Eco friendly Eco Friendly

Hair Art & Beauty champions eco-friendliness through our careful selection of products and equipment. We prioritize energy-efficient appliances, sustainable product lines, and recycled materials, ensuring our salon operations minimize environmental impact.

Renewable Renewable

The salon was architecturally designed to incorporate energy saving ideas at all levels. Clients can take their bio-degradable towels home to use as cleaning cloths or weed mats. Towels and gowns that are not reused are decomposed by naturally occurring micro-organisms into CO2 and water. Hair Art & Beauty are committed to reducing our carbon footprint by integrating solar panels and energy-efficient LED lighting in our salon. 

Recycled Recycled

We work hard to avoid producing excess waste, and to reduce and creatively reuse waste where it is unavoidable, as well as to recycle wherever possible. Packaging from manufacturers is reused for orders in the salon's on-line store, and out-of-date posters are used as wrapping paper. Clients are asked if they need a bag for products and a receipt, rather than automatically being handed them and we receive invoices and statements electronically. This commitment extends to our recent expansion, where reclaimed wood and low-VOC paints underscore our dedication to reducing waste and promoting a sustainable, circular economy.
