In recent years, salons have prioritised sustainability as part of their core mission and, as a result, eco-salons have redrawn the industry landscape.
This ethos extends across all areas of the salon – from recycled and repurposed materials to natural and organic products, and environmentally friendly practices such as LED lighting, and water and energy conservation. This evolution is also reflected in services and treatments, as clients look for wellness experiences grounded in nature and eco-conscious values.
With equipment integral to every client experience, making the right choices can make a significant contribution to your salon’s environmental aims and, as economic challenges persist, they also ensure financial sustainability.
Takara Belmont’s National Sales Manager Katie Fielder comments: “Sustainability has mainly been focused on environmental considerations, but there are many economic advantages too. Salons recognise the reputational and cost benefits of adopting an eco-philosophy; it differentiates their salon, gives clients the experiences they want, and it saves money. This also applies to equipment both in terms of the products they choose and how they can invest to protect the economic interests of their business.”
Longevity – invest in the best for long-term quality and performance
Investing in world-class equipment not only enhances luxury and comfort, it allows new and innovative menu options to be introduced, such as Japanese Head Spas, scalp care and beauty. “Quality, innovation and longevity across our range ensures unmatched performance, while giving salons more opportunities for growth,” says Katie. “Our equipment withstands the rigours of constant use without degrading or breaking down over time. This supports your sustainability mission by minimising the need for repair and replacement. Plus it eliminates lost income due to downtime, which is important for economic stability.”
Sustainability – leading the way in sustainable innovation
Over many decades, Takara Belmont has invested in state-of-art manufacturing facilities that use renewable energy. From sustainably sourced components and recycled fabrics to water and energy saving features on their equipment, Takara Belmont is committed to innovation anchored in sustainability and environmental responsibility.
“Our entire backwash range features a versatile dual-flow shower head that reduces water consumption by 20%,” says Katie. “In addition, our energy efficient Roller Ball F colour processor reduces processing time by up to 75% without causing damage to the hair. These innovations are helping salons to save energy, water and money whilst actively enhancing customer experiences and improving colour outcomes.”
Takara Belmont’s approach to sustainability is further highlighted by their commitment to Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) – a blueprint set out by the United Nations to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
Affordability – for the ultimate in economic sustainability
In 2022, Takara Belmont introduced the industry’s first 0% zero deposit Finance Lease Scheme, which has successfully enabled salons to invest in their world-class equipment affordably, tax efficiently and in complete peace of mind.
“This scheme gives salons fixed monthly payments over 2 years without any initial capital outlay or deposits,” adds Katie. “It’s 100% tax deductible for the duration of the agreement, after which they can own the equipment outright with one final monthly payment, or upgrade and start a fresh agreement.”
