Sustainable

Every day in the salon

We use rainwater to wash our towels (whenever we can) and dry them on the line rather than in the clothes dryer (weather permitting).

We compost all of our food waste, coffee grounds, tea leaves and even dead flowers in our worm farm. The worms then make fertiliser and compost for the garden and pot plants. Thank you worms!
