Rebel Fund

We applied for the UHI Rebel Fund to help us in the salon to become more sustainability friendly, efficient and environmentally aware. Working to reduce waste, chemical bottles, foils, recycling hair clippings. We strive to conserve water and energy whilst lowering operational costs by being efficient. We want our clientele to know we are a reputable college salon and meet the consumer demand for eco-conscious business practises.

We were awarded £1800, with this we have bought Eco Taps, a refill station, recycling bins and bin for hair clippings, disposable towels, re-useable bottles, a label machine printer, and have liaised with a local business to design QR code mirror stickers that once scanned take you to this wonderful page!

Eco Tap Unboxing Funded by the UHI Rebel Fund

In this video, we’re unboxing our new eco taps before installation. These taps are fully recyclable and designed to deliver cleaner, softer water using natural antibacterial mineral crystals and ceramic balls contained within the tap head. Once fitted, they are expected to reduce water usage by up to 65% compared to standard shower heads. This unboxing gives a closer look at the product and its sustainability features before installation.
