Sustainable Salon Practices at Black Fern Salon

Green Circle is a certified B Corp that supports eco-friendly salons by recycling up to 95% of salon waste. At Black Fern, all waste except for glass, paper, and food waste is sent to Green Circle Salons, a carbon neutral company. This includes hair, excess hair color, color tubes and caps, and more, all part of our commitment to sustainable beauty practices!

Paper Not Foil is an eco-friendly salon staple, created by hairdressers for hairdressers as a sustainable foil alternative. Made from recycled construction waste (no trees involved), it aligns with sustainable beauty practices and causes no harm to our environment throughout its entire life cycle. You can reuse Paper Not Foil multiple times by washing it in the washing machine or by hand. Additionally, it can be recycled or commercially composted, making it a perfect choice for Green Circle Salons.

We all know that 700 million plastic laundry jugs end up in our landfills and oceans every year! To promote eco-friendly salon practices, it's crucial to stop using plastic containers. That’s why at Green Circle Salons, we ensure that all towels and capes are washed with Earth Breeze Eco Sheets, embracing sustainable beauty practices.

Any packaging and product containers that are recyclable through the eco-friendly salon are recycled. Plastic containers, like developer bottles, are sent to Green Circle Salons as part of our commitment to sustainable beauty practices.

ECOHEADS salon showerheads are eco-friendly salon solutions designed specifically for hair salons. These professional-grade, high-quality showerheads are easy to install and align with sustainable beauty practices. Not only do they cut down rinse time at the bowl, but their special filtration system also ionizes the water, removing sediment and leaving hair cleaner and healthier, a perfect fit for Green Circle Salons.

Using reusable gloves, sanitizing, and washing in between clients not only cuts down on waste from unnecessary single-use disposable gloves but also aligns with eco-friendly salon practices. For larger projects or waxing services, we use Framar pine palms gloves, which are part of our commitment to sustainable beauty practices and are among the green biodegradable gloves favored by Green Circle Salons.
