Vegan: cruelty-free +

Cruelty-free does not always mean vegan, but our salon stands for both to help protect animals and the environment they live in.

A successful vegan salon is proof that any use of these ingredients in the name of beauty is silly (to say the least). Animal-derived ingredients are widely used with menial results and a detrimental cost.

These ingredients include:

• Keratin: often made from animal byproducts sourced from large-scale farms.

• Lanolin: from the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals, raises animal welfare concerns.

• Honey and beeswax: commercial honeybees can harm native bee populations, which are essential pollinators.

• Collagen: sourced from cows or fish, is commonly used in hair products, but its production is linked to deforestation and ethical concerns.

As much as we can…

• We avoid ingredients that go down the drain and disrupt the habitats of marine life.

Choosing vegan and cruelty-free, demonstrates respect for all life forms. We only purchase from brands (their parent companies) that prioritize ethics over profit and do not sell in markets where animal testing is required. We only support brands that are entirely committed to cruelty-free practices.

‘Cruelty-free’ care extends to other people. We currently do not offer hair extension services because of this industry’s unethical practices.

In food, fashion, and beauty- avoiding cruelty and animal‑derived ingredients can create a meaningful impact.
