The popularity of eco-friendly salon products, and sustainable products in general, has definitely been on the rise. But because of many myths surrounding these products, many salon owners are still hesitant to introduce them into their salons. In this article, we’ll debunk some common myths about earth-friendly salon products and provide you with the facts!
To have an idea of what sort of products we’re referring to when we say ‘eco-friendly salon products’, some examples include:
- Disposable salon towels
- Colour remover eco wipes
- Organic hand sanitiser
- Organic cleaning products
- Compostable bin bags
- Biodegradable coffee cups
Now that you know what sort of products we’re referring to, let’s have a look at the myths!
They Don’t Work As Well
For some reason, many people believe that natural products do not work as well as those that are full of chemicals. And while this may be the case in certain instances, organic options work just as well! Biodegradable salon towels are also just as absorbent as cotton towels are. If it is the effectiveness you are worried about, you shouldn’t be.
They Are Expensive
While some sustainable swaps may be a little pricier than your current products, we can guarantee you that you’ll save money over time. For example, when swapping over to biodegradable disposable towels, you’ll have to make a small upfront investment in a pack of them, but you’ll save so much money in water and electricity.
They Smell Weird
If you assume that sustainable products smell weird, then you haven’t tried them. In most cases, organic products have a softer, more natural smell that is far gentler on the nostrils.
My Clients Don’t Care Which Products I Use
More and more Australians are becoming aware of their impact on the environment, and they are choosing to support establishments making sustainable choices. In actual fact, a good majority of your clientele probably do care about which products you are using in your salon and if they are sustainable.
They’re Just A Trend
If this is just a trend, then it is a trend that is here to stay for decades to come as the survival on our planet depends on it.
