Sustainability in Hairdressing Workshop | London

Hi! I'm Steph. I've been researching the hairdressing industry for over five years trying to understand how salons, barbershops, freelance businesses and co-working spaces can reduce, reuse and recycle what they use. Essentially, that's your industry in the circular economy! This session is great because I get to share some key findings from my research while also turning your experiences and opinions into new evidence.

This is the simple bit: you talk, I listen, and we capture what real salon life looks like.

Together with other hairdressing professionals, we’ll discuss how materials are used in and what helps or hinders reducing, reusing, and recycling on busy days. I’ll also share a snapshot of early survey results, and you’ll have the chance to weigh in, challenge them, and add the context that numbers can’t show. With your consent, the conversation will be audio-recorded and used as research data.

No presentations. No “right answers”. Just honest experiences and your professional judgement.

Join me and the other participants for a well-deserved glass after the workshop. First round is on me!

No prep required. No prior knowledge needed, whether that’s sustainability, circular economy. If you’ve ever been unsure what to believe, you’re in the right place.

Salon owners, managers, employed stylists, freelancers, and educators. If you use professional products and materials in your work, you’ll fit right in.

• A full belly
• A clearer picture of what new research is showing so far
• The chance to have your experience counted in the evidence base
• A few new connections with people facing the same day-to-day trade-offs
