Educating and motivating our salon teams about these initiatives makes a true difference in how people work together in the salons, and raises awareness about global issues.
In 2017 we were proud to raise £10,500 for Aveda’s Earth Month initiative and held the position of top fundraising salon in the UK. Gina was honoured to be invited to join WaterAid on a trip to Andhra Pradesh.
WaterAid works in partnership with local organisations in 37 countries in Africa, Asia, Central America and the Pacific region to help poor communities establish sustainable water supplies and toilets, close to home, and to promote safe hygiene practices.
THINK GLOBALLY; ACT LOCALLY
In addition to supporting global efforts for the greater good, we also like to focus some efforts back home and support local charities at Christmas.
WHY AVEDA?
We chose to work with Aveda, not just because of the scrummy smelling natural products, but also because they do so many good things that it just makes sense.
We LOVE and live by these Aveda points of difference:
- Cruelty-free – All products are tested on people NOT animals.
- Wind power – Aveda is the first beauty company manufacturing with 100% certified wind power.
- Naturally derived – Aveda continually strives to increase their use of naturally-derived products.
- Caring for the community – Aveda set aside a whole month to love, celebrate and raise funds to protect the Earth and its people.
- Pure-fume™ – 100% naturally-derived aromas.
- Recycling – Aveda is the first beauty company with 100% post-consumer recycled packaging.
