Why Zaibatsu Hair Art Has Partnered with Sustainable Salons
At Zaibatsu Hair Art, we believe small changes can create big impact. That’s why we’re proud to announce our partnership with Sustainable Salons, a not-for-profit organisation leading the way in environmental responsibility across the hair and beauty industry. Their mission is simple but powerful: to recycle up to 95% of salon waste, turning what was once landfill into valuable resources for new products, community initiatives, and even charitable causes.
By joining forces with Sustainable Salons, Zaibatsu Hair Art is ensuring that every visit to our salon not only leaves you feeling confident and refreshed, but also contributes to a healthier planet.
What the $3 Green Fee at Zaibatsu Hair Art Means for You and the Planet
From your next appointment, you’ll notice a $3 Sustainable Salons Green Fee added to your bill. This small contribution goes directly to Sustainable Salons to support their incredible programs. With this fee, we can dramatically reduce the environmental footprint of your hair appointment — ensuring that everything from hair clippings to foil, plastics, paper, and even chemicals are carefully sorted and recycled instead of ending up in landfill.
It’s a small change at the checkout, but it adds up to a significant difference for the planet. By paying the Green Fee, you become part of the solution, helping to create a more sustainable future for both our industry and our wider community.
How Zaibatsu Hair Art and Sustainable Salons Recycle 95% of Salon Waste
One of the most inspiring aspects of Sustainable Salons is their ability to give new life to what many would consider “waste.” Hair clippings, for example, can be repurposed into hair booms to help clean up oil spills. Aluminium foils and colour tubes are melted down and reformed for reuse. Plastics are collected and transformed into sustainable products. Even excess chemicals are safely disposed of in ways that prevent harm to our waterways.
By working with Sustainable Salons, Zaibatsu Hair Art ensures that almost every item we use has a second life. Together, we’re not just creating beautiful hair — we’re contributing to a circular economy and a brighter, cleaner future.
