How Coiffure Modern carries sustainability through to the tips.
From reused furniture to a bicycle pot for trees. Coiffure Modern proves that sustainability in a hair salon is perfectly possible. Find out how they make a big difference to the environment with small actions.
In a world where sustainability is increasingly important, it shows Coiffure Modern How hairdressers can creatively and practically reduce their carbon footprint. First Green Circle Salon of the network, they turn sustainability into everyday choices - big and small - and actively involve their customers and the neighbourhood.
From old furniture to new values
In a recent redesign, the team chose to reuse existing materials. The old waiting chair was not simply replaced, but carefully recovered and converted into a new piece of furniture. Other hairdressing equipment and interior pieces were also given a second life: they were donated or sold second-hand for a soft price. The proceeds? That went integrally into a piggy bank for planting trees in the village.
Smart use of residual materials
A striking detail in the lounge is a wall lined with Scrummi wipes, not only beautiful to look at, but also functional: it provides geluidsisolatie in de ruimte. Gebruikte Scrummi-doeken verdwijnen trouwens niet zomaar in de vuilnisbak — ze worden geschonken aan een lokale dierenarts waar ze nog prima van pas komen bij de verzorging van dieren.
Ecopots with a second life
Also empty verpakkingen van haarmaskers worden gespaard en grondig uitgespoeld. In plaats van afval, worden ze knutselmateriaal voor kleuterscholen. The colourful containers are ideal for storing paints, pearls and other items - and are extremely popular with children. What cannot be reused is carefully sorted and taken to the recycling park.
Clients who go by bike are celebrated!
Sustainability is not limited to within the walls of the salon. Customers who come to the salon by bike, are literally put in the spotlight: for every cycling customer, there will be €0.50 put into a piggy bank. With this amount, the salon aims to eventually plant trees in the village. To make the action even more visible, the bicycle bell sound as tribute to customer. This way, sustainable transport gets fun, positive attention.
Coiffure Modern shows that sustainability does not have to be complicated. By using materials with care, thinking creatively about recycling, and involving the community, they are building a salon that does more than cut hair - they are helping to build a more sustainable future.
An inspiring example for other salons looking to take steps towards greener policies.
