HOW IT WORKS
Green Profits
How much will going green cost you, or bring in to your business?
Green Salon Collective member salons charge a small, optional £1-2 Green Fee to generate enough revenue to cover their salon waste recycling costs, and often make a profit.
Use the calculator below to estimate the amount of Green Profits you'll generate through salon waste recycling, depending on the % of clients you think would pay a small £1-2 Green Fee...
Gain New Clients
Our member salons, on average, picked up 3 new clients in the first 3 months just because they are on our Member Locator. By being a more eco-friendly hair salon, you're catering to a new clientele who are passionate about the planet.

ABOUT GREEN SALON COLLECTIVE
Our key goal is to recycle and reuse hairdressing salon waste, focusing on specialist items like hair and metal, so that your business can become a more sustainable salon. We use hair in over 10 different ways, including cleaning up oil spills, and donate all our profits from recycling metals. We compost salon towels. We generate energy from chemical waste and PPE. So far, we've diverted over 100 tons of hairdressing salon waste from landfill or incineration.
Join us to become a more eco-friendly hair salon...
WE RECYCLE OUR PROFITS, TOO!
We believe in making a difference where it counts which is why we choose to share the love.
All profits raised from selling commodities (eg. your recycled metals) go to FoodCycle and Haircuts4Homeless.
We also work with Mossy Earth to plant a tree on your behalf for every Returns Box that you purchase.
