Eco Friendly Hair Salon
We at Gavin Ashley, are on a mission to salon sustainability and are proud to be the first hair salon in Bury St Edmunds to collaborate with @greensaloncollective. We will now recycle, compost and recover hair, used foils, empty colour tubes, chemicals, PPE, plastic, paper and even salon towels!!
Your hair can even be recycled too! Green Salon Collective is working on hair boom and matt projects that could see your hair soaking up an oil spill, and they will also be using it for gardening and composting too.
To join Green Salon Collective we’ve decided to add a £1.50 “green fee” to each client visit. So now when you see us in the salon, you’ll be helping us to save our planet too!

I always look forward to going to see Marie my trusted stylist at Gavin Ashley. The service you receive from all the staff is second to none! I can sit back and relax, have a good catch up whilst drinking a cup of tea just how I like it. I never have to worry about my hair and always come out with a... great colour and cut that gets lots of compliments. Thanks Marie and all the guys at Gavin Ashley. read more
