Earth Month at Peach Stories: How We’re Keeping It Green
April is Earth Month, and here at Peach Stories, we’re using it as a moment to reflect on the ways we’re working to be kinder to the planet. The beauty industry—including hair salons—can be pretty heavy on single-use plastics. Often, this comes down to hygiene and convenience, but we believe there’s a better way.
At Peach Stories, we’ve made it our mission to lower our environmental footprint by reducing single-use plastics wherever we can. Our focus is on using reusable and biodegradable items, all while maintaining the high standard of service our clients know and love.
Here’s a little look at some of the sustainable practices happening behind the scenes at the salon:
We Use Organic Products
Everything we use at Peach Stories—from colour to styling—has been carefully chosen to be as gentle on the environment as it is on your hair. We work exclusively with organic colours, shampoos, conditioners, and styling products. Why? Because it’s better for you, better for us as stylists, and it helps keep harsh chemicals out of our waterways.
We’re big fans of our organic colour range (seriously, the results are dreamy), and if you're curious, we've written a whole blog post about it called Everything You Need to Know About Organic Hair Colour.
Refillable Oway Bottles
We’ve introduced a refill program for Oway’s beautiful glass shampoo and conditioner bottles. Rather than tossing them out when you’re done, just bring them back in and top them up. It’s a simple way to cut down on plastic, and the glass bottles look lovely in your shower too. Need a new pump though? We’ve got back ups!
Biodegradable Towels by Scrummi
Instead of using traditional cotton towels (which require a ton of water and energy to launder), we’ve switched to Scrummi towels. They’re biodegradable, single-use, and help save millions of litres of chemically contaminated water each year. Plus, they’re super soft!
Biodegradable Capes
Yes, even our colouring capes are planet-friendly. We use biodegradable capes that break down naturally, unlike standard salon ones made from synthetic materials. It’s a small switch that makes a big difference.
Reusable Gloves
To cut down on single-use waste, our stylists wear reusable gloves. Not only are they more durable, but they also keep a whole lot of non-biodegradable material out of landfill.
As Peach Stories continues to grow, we’re keeping sustainability at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s through refillable products, thoughtful swaps, or eco-conscious salon habits, we’re always looking for ways to care for your hair and the planet.
Thanks for being part of our community—and for supporting a salon that’s trying to do things a little differently. 💚
