SUSTAINABILITY AT STUDIO U.
At Studio U, sustainability is part of how we operate, not an afterthought. From the products we choose to the way we manage water, colour and waste, we’re committed to reducing our environmental impact while delivering exceptional hair.
We believe responsible practice and high performance can exist together. As we grow, we continue to refine our processes, partner with conscious brands and introduce initiatives that support a more sustainable future for our industry.
Sustainable Beauty Without Compromise
Davines is our primary colour and retail partner. As a certified
B Corp brand, they combine high performance haircare with environmental responsibility.
From carbon conscious production to regenerative agriculture projects and responsible packaging, Davines allows us to create beautiful results while supporting a more ethical supply chain.
Precision Colour Management
Vish is our intelligent colour management system. Every formula is weighed and tracked, reducing excess product and minimising chemical waste.
It improves accuracy, ensures consistency and significantly lowers unnecessary colour disposal. Smarter mixing. Less waste.
Waste Reimagined
Through our partnership with Full Circle Recycling, up to 95% of our salon waste is diverted from landfill.
Plastic
Empty colour tubes, product bottles, gloves and packaging are collected, cleaned and processed for recycling. Plastics are re manufactured into new materials, reducing the need for virgin plastic production.
Metal
Used foils and aluminium colour tubes are separated and melted down for reuse. Aluminium can be recycled repeatedly without losing quality, significantly lowering energy consumption compared to new production.
Paper & Card
Product boxes, delivery packaging and paper waste are sorted and sent through commercial recycling channels, where fibres are recovered and reused in new paper and cardboard products.
Hair
Hair clippings are collected and repurposed. Due to its natural absorbent properties, hair can be used in oil spill clean ups, filtration systems and composting initiatives that support soil regeneration.
Our goal is clear. Reduce landfill waste. Increase resource recovery. Operate responsibly.
Laundry Free, Low Impact Towels
We use Enki’s plant based, fully biodegradable salon towels to eliminate traditional laundry.
Each towel is ultra absorbent, single use and compostable within weeks. By removing daily washing, we reduce water, energy and detergent consumption while ensuring every client has a fresh towel, every time.
Reducing Water Without Reducing Performance
Our Ecoheads shower systems are designed to significantly reduce water consumption while maintaining strong water pressure and effective rinsing.
Less water used per appointment means a lower environmental footprint, without changing the client experience at the basin.
Recycled Paper, Reduced Impact
We use Who Gives A Crap toilet paper, made from 100% recycled materials or sustainable bamboo.
Their products are plastic free, responsibly sourced and produced with a lower environmental footprint than traditional paper brands. They also donate a significant portion of profits to improve global access to clean water and sanitation.
Our Ongoing Commitment
SUSTAINABILITY IS NOT A FIXED DESTINATION. IT'S AN EVOLVING PRACTICE.
We continue to research, invest and implement new initiatives as Studio U grows, always looking for ways to reduce impact while maintaining the quality and creativity we’re known for.
Better choices. Every day.
