What Makes a Hair Salon Genuinely Sustainable?
The hairdressing industry isn't always thought of as a major contributor to environmental waste, but in reality, salons go through enormous volumes of foil, plastic packaging, water, and chemical product every single day. At Alex Royer Salon, sustainability has been a genuine priority from day one — here's what that actually looks like in practice.
Choosing Cruelty-Free and Vegan-Friendly Products
Our Keune Care and Keune So Pure retail ranges are cruelty free, and the So Pure range goes further still — paraben free, sulfate free, and vegan friendly. Choosing product lines with these standards means our clients can feel good about what they're putting on their hair, and what that product's supply chain looked like before it reached the shelf.
Reducing Chemical Run-Off
Hair colour and treatment chemicals that wash down the drain can have a real environmental impact over time. While no salon can eliminate this entirely, choosing gentler, more considered formulations — like our PPD-free colour range — reduces the chemical load involved in every single service, season after season.
Mindful Water and Resource Use
Simple, consistent habits around water use during washes and treatments add up significantly across hundreds of appointments a year. We train our team to be deliberate about water and product use, treating it as a genuine operational standard rather than an occasional gesture.
Supporting Better Supply Chains
Our long-standing partnership with Keune reflects a broader commitment to working with brands that take sustainability seriously at the manufacturing level, not just the marketing level. When you purchase Keune Care or Keune So Pure products through our online shop or in-salon, you're supporting that broader supply chain commitment too.
Why This Matters to Our Clients
We've found that clients increasingly want to know where their hair care choices fit into a bigger picture — not because it's trendy, but because it genuinely matters to them. Being a proud sustainable salon means we can have that conversation honestly, rather than treating it as a marketing checkbox.
