Amanda Flory Hair Salon

We are thrilled to have won Most Sustainable Salon in Surrey at the Salon Awards in November! This award is very close to our heart after all of the hard work we put in to the salon over the past year to make it more sustainable. We plan to work even harder this year to make more changes and to improve our carbon footprint as much as we can!

Sustainability

At Amanda Flory Hairdressing, we are taking steps to make our salon more sustainable and decrease our carbon foot print. This is very important to us and we continue to strive to do anything we can, big or small to make a difference. We are also taking part in local community projects such as team litter picks and regularly have walk to work days. We have banned one use plastic bottles in the salon too.

We are still relatively new to this journey and are determined to improve bit by bit wherever we can as time goes along….
