Sustainable Salons
Working Towards Becoming the First Local Net-Zero Salon
At Mova Salons, we pride ourselves on our commitment to sustainability and we are delighted that our valued guests are joining us on our green journey.
Hot on the heels of winning the Spelthorne Business Award for Sustainability, the Mova team are doing all we can to reduce the amount of waste our salons generate so we can help the environment. We really do care about becoming part of the solution and not part of the problem.
As the first salons in the area working towards becoming net-zero, we are leading the way in sustainable beauty practices. We are working with the Net Zero Salons Programme which guides us through the process of calculating, tracking and reducing greenhouse gas emissions through tailored carbon reduction plans for both our salons.
Indeed, our whole team is focused on sustainability. We use energy-efficient tools, recycle materials, and support local eco-friendly initiatives. We are also devoted to education and transparency, helping clients make sustainable choices for their hair care.
DAVINES REFILL STATION: As well as stocking and selling cruelty-free and natural haircare and styling products from Davines, we also have a Davines refill station.
Bring your shampoo and conditioner bottle back into the salon when it's empty and we will refill it for you and give you a 15% discount. Chat to your stylist about which of the Davines products are part of this scheme.
L'OREAL REFILL SHAMPOO POUCHES: We also have refill shampoo pouches available in L'Oreal Vitamino, Absolut Repair and Metal Detox.
GREEN SALON COLLECTIVE PARTNERSHIP: Perhaps one of the biggest improvements is that we have teamed up with Green Salon Collective who will be recycling our used foils, hair, empty colour tubes, chemicals, PPE, plastic and paper. We are asking our clients to help us with this system by contributing an optional £1 green fee every time you visit us for your hair appointment. This will automatically be added to your bill but you can, of course, request that we remove this charge.
ORGANIC DAVINES HAIR CARE: Our eco-friendly approach includes using natural and organic products from Davines, which are free from harmful chemicals; reducing water usage using innovative Ecoheads shower heads; and working with the Vish colour management system to reduce nasty chemicals going into our water systems.
ECOHEADS SHOWER HEADS are engineered to increase water pressure while using less water. They achieve this by creating a more efficient water flow, which means that clients can enjoy a powerful rinse using less water compared to conventional shower heads. Plus, when it comes to washing our bowls, we save up to 2 litres of water for every sink we use that is full of washing up!
VISH COLOUR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM tracks the amount of colour used for each service and generates reports on usage patterns. This data helps our salon optimise inventory management and order the right quantities, preventing overstocking and reducing waste. Since introducing this system in 2020 we have used nearly 50% less hair colour product.
