Our Commitment to Sustainability at Decesare Hair Salon
At Decesare Hair Salon in Milton Keynes, sustainability isn’t a trend – it’s a core part of who we are. We believe that beautiful hair should never come at the expense of the planet, which is why we’ve made conscious choices across every area of the salon to reduce waste, minimise our environmental impact, and offer you high-performance products and services that align with your values. From the products we use to the way we mix colour, our approach to sustainability is thoughtful, considered and always evolving.
Partnering with Davines – Sustainable Beauty That Works
We are proud to work with Davines, a family-owned Italian brand known for its commitment to ethical, eco-conscious haircare. As a certified B Corporation, Davines meets the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Davines products are made with renewable energy and carbon offsetting at their beautiful, sustainable headquarters in Parma.
Ingredients are carefully selected for their efficacy and environmental impact, and packaging is developed with recyclability and reduced waste in mind. Whether you’re using their colour-safe shampoos, nourishing conditioners or award-winning styling products, you can trust that Davines is as kind to the environment as it is to your hair.
Vish Colour Scales – Reducing Colour Waste in the Salon
Precision matters – especially when it comes to reducing waste. That’s why we use Vish colour scales to measure and mix every colour formula in-salon. This smart technology allows our stylists to calculate exactly how much product is needed for your hair, down to the gram. By using Vish, we dramatically reduce colour waste, avoid over-mixing, and ensure consistent results with every appointment.
It’s a small change that makes a big difference, both for the planet and for the quality of your colour. We also track product usage to help fine-tune formulas for future appointments, meaning you get a personalised result every time, with none of the excess.
Scrummi Towels – Hygienic, Biodegradable & Water-Saving
Traditional cotton salon towels require frequent washing, use large amounts of water and energy, and often have a short life span. At Decesare, we’ve chosen a more sustainable alternative with Scrummi biodegradable towels. These single-use towels are 100% compostable and made from natural wood fibres sourced from sustainable forestry.
They’re super soft, highly absorbent, and completely hygienic – giving you a fresh towel every time while reducing our water and energy use. It’s a practical, planet-friendly solution that helps us maintain the highest standards of cleanliness with the lowest environmental impact.
Refillable Haircare – Better for Your Hair, Kinder to the Planet
We’re delighted to offer a selection of Davines 500ml refillable pouches, available in-salon with 20% off your first purchase. These elegant pouches contain the same premium Davines formulas you love – but with significantly less packaging waste. Simply bring your empty pouch back to the salon and we’ll refill it with your chosen shampoo or conditioner.
You’ll receive 10% off your refill and the satisfaction of knowing you’re reducing single-use plastic with every visit. Ask your stylist about our most popular refills from the Davines range. Beautiful haircare, now with a more beautiful impact.
Biodegradable Colour Tubes – A Greener Future
Coming Soon
We are in the final stages of transitioning to biodegradable colour tubes, allowing us to reduce salon waste even further. These tubes, developed by our colour partners, are designed to break down more easily than traditional packaging once they’re empty and disposed of. While we’re currently awaiting final confirmation from our supplier, we’re excited to soon offer colour services that leave less behind. It’s another step forward in our mission to make professional haircare more responsible.
