Choose a Green Salon certified hair salon

Since we realized how much better green hair care is for our customers, ourselves and our planet, we haven't hesitated for a second. Because let's face it, choosing hair care that contains toxic substances that negatively affect both us and the environment, sounds completely crazy. Especially today when there are much better alternatives.

Because this is something we want to give everyone the chance to take part in, we have listed three reasons why you should choose a hair salon that is certified by Grön Salong here:

  1. Hair care free from toxic chemicals that affect you: The most toxic substances are usually those called PPD (para-phenylenediamine) and ammonia. PPD is used in hair dye products that provide permanent hair color and can cause allergic reactions and skin irritations. Ammonia is used to make it easier for the color to penetrate the hair and can also cause skin irritations and damage the hair in the long term. Other substances that can be harmful in hair care products are sulfates, parabens and silicones. Sulfates are often found in shampoos and can dry out the hair and cause skin irritation. Parabens can have hormone-disrupting effects. Silicones are used to make hair soft and shiny, but can clog hair follicles and make hair tired and lifeless in the long term.

  2. You support professional hairdressers and a sustainable industry: A salon that is certified by Grön Salong also has professional hairdressers who are trained in environmentally friendly treatments and products. This can mean that you get a higher quality of your treatment. By choosing a certified Grön Salong, you also support sustainable development in the hairdressing industry. This means that you contribute to a positive change for both the environment and society.

  3. Reduced environmental impact: The toxic substances found in hair care products such as PPD, ammonia, sulfates and silicones have a negative impact on our environment in several ways. When we wash out hair care products such as shampoo and conditioner, the chemicals from them flow into the drains and end up in our waterways. Traditional hair dyes and other treatment products can also contain substances that do not break down in nature and therefore pollute the soil. This means that you reduce your impact on the environment by choosing a certified salon.

When Green Heads started in 2016, the goal was obvious. We wanted to create a salon that could make the hairdressing industry greener, where we could offer our customers fantastic hair care with a focus on beauty, but also on sustainability and the environment.
