You probably already know it, but being a hairdresser isn’t without its risks. Between back problems and exposure to harmful products, your health can quickly take a hit. But what if we told you that it’s possible to protect your health while continuing to do the job you love? All it takes is adapting your habits, using healthier products, and turning your salon into a sustainable, eco-friendly space. By adopting a natural hair salon concept, you not only protect your health but also offer a new approach to hairdressing, one that cares for the environment!
In short, you know how much your health can be affected in the long run, both physically and mentally. So, how can you minimize your exposure to these risks as much as possible?
As you know, the dangers in conventional hair salons are numerous. Chemical hair products, coloring, bleaching, Brazilian straightening… all chemical treatments are harmful to your health.
Adopting a natural approach in your salon offers many benefits, for both your own health and that of your clients.
By switching to natural and/or organic hair products, you instantly become a natural hair salon with a much healthier working environment. You reduce your exposure to chemical substances such as silicones, parabens, sulfates, and ammonia. No more irritations, allergies, infections, or respiratory problems.
By becoming a hairdresser who uses natural products, you choose solutions that are healthy and beneficial for both health and hair. In fact, natural solutions are often even more effective than chemical products. They are made from plants whose virtues have been recognized for many, many years. Everything that comes from nature has an immediate effect on the health of the skin and hair. Each plant, each oil has its own specificity to target and treat particular issues.
Trust in nature, it has the power to treat various concerns while caring for your overall health.
We have been offering a bio-concept since the very beginning of our journey. It all started when Frédéric, the founder of Hairborist, began developing allergies due to chemical hair products. He started searching for solutions, but no brand met his needs. Eventually, it was thanks to aromatherapy that his skin and hair began to improve. This is how the Hairborist concept was born.
Much more than just a hair care brand, it is an entire experience based on aromatherapy, allowing Hairborist hairdressers and their clients to enjoy an exceptional ritual while treating their hair. The concept is simple: all our products are made from vegetable oils and essential oils that address specific hair needs, while being as healthy and natural as possible.
All our products are natural, and most of them are certified by Ecogarantie, the strictest label in Europe. This certification ensures that natural hairdressers and consumers can trust that the products are safe and reliable, as they have been thoroughly checked by industry experts. An independent control body, appointed by the label, inspects the products to make sure they meet the strict criteria listed in the label’s specifications. This is how we manage to offer products that are TRULY ecological and genuinely care for you.
Remember, as a hairdresser, you are the first to be exposed to the risks posed by certain hair products. Now is the time to act!
We work with plants and natural oils, and we ban chemical substances. Even in coloring, we are pioneers in the field of plant-based hair dye—the only one that truly cares for both health and the planet.
We produce our own range, which allows us to have complete control over what we make. Our packaging is made from recycled and recyclable materials, and our energy consumption is monitored, criteria also required by our Ecogarantie label.
In short, Hairborist does its utmost to reduce its environmental impact while offering high-quality professional treatments that truly care for the hair.
As you’ve understood, the first step to becoming a natural hairdresser is to equip yourself with healthy, reliable, and eco-friendly hair products to protect your health and that of your clients. But it doesn’t stop there.
We’re going to share our tips for becoming a truly sustainable, responsible, and natural hairdresser.
Offer bulk sales: Selling natural hair products can easily be done in bulk to reduce packaging and give your clients a zero-waste alternative. For every Hairborist hairdresser, we offer the option to purchase our treatments in large containers so your clients can bring their own bottles and refill them. You’ll even get a better margin thanks to this bulk sales system!
Save energy: In your salon, you inevitably consume a lot. But it’s possible to take small steps that make a difference: use low-energy devices, install water-saving systems on taps, and get low-energy light bulbs…
Find alternatives to chemical treatments: Bleaching, Brazilian straightening, or oxidative coloring tend to be harmful to both health and the environment. We recommend making the switch to plant-based solutions and opting for healthy, gentle treatments such as plant-based hair coloring. It is the only option that preserves both your health and the planet, as it is biodegradable.
Choose hair recycling: What if we told you that recycling isn’t just about sorting waste? Some organizations offer to give a second life to cut hair, turning it into a new resource through keratin extraction or by using it to produce biocomposite recycling bags.
