96,784kg of hair recycled so far, collected from salon floors, barbers and pet groomers!​
Hair clippings have been viewed as waste for too long. Their untapped potential is absolutely staggering.
Hair Booms
Synthetic booms and chemical dispersants cause damaging long term side effects on the environment.
Hair booms however, are an organic alternative that’s even more effective at soaking up oil.
How are booms made?
To make a hair boom, a filter stocking is stretched over a piece of pipe, then hair and fur is stuffed into it. Once it’s packed it is simply tied up then BOOM you’ve got a hair boom!

618,804kg Of metal has been diverted from landfill and made into new aluminium products!
Re-melting used aluminium saves up to 95% of the energy and 97% of the water needed to produce the primary product.
Sustainable salons are partners with Refoil, a revolutionary business that takes a lifecycle approach to recycled metal. Refoil uses scrap metal gathered from salons (like us) to produce 100% recycled aluminium foil products.
​So the next time you’re getting your hair dyed, just think all those foils in the bin can actually end up back on your head again and again!
