Guide: Best Organic Hair Salons in Stockholm (2023)

 

Are you looking for an organic hairdresser in Stockholm? Then you've come to the right place. As consumers become increasingly environmentally conscious and place higher demands on sustainability, the number of organic hairdressers in Stockholm has skyrocketed. In this guide, we explain the reasons why you may choose an organic hairdresser, what a 'Green Salon' is, and also list the best organic hair salons in Stockholm.

Why Choose an Organic Hairdresser?

There are many reasons for choosing an organic hairdresser, however, it all boils down to the fact that it's good for both people and our planet. Contact allergy to permanent hair dyes is a widespread problem among consumers as well as hairdressers who handle hair dye in their day-to-day work. This is because permanent hair dyes contain the highly allergenic substances paraphenylenediamine (PPD) and 2,5-toluenediamine (2,5-TDA).

To avoid allergic reactions and scalp tension as a result of hypersensitivity to the allergenic substances, it is good to go to an organic hairdresser. They work with natural products without harmful chemicals. What many people don’t know is that you actually can achieve the same results with organic treatments as with traditional ones, even when it comes to lightening your hair. The only things that differ are the working technique and the products used.

What Is a ‘Green Hairdresser’?

A ‘Green Salon’ is a certification a salon can obtain by meeting certain criteria. Among other things, all hairdressers at the salon must undergo training in organic hair care and must not use certain specific harmful chemicals. There are also demands on the salon's waste management as well as energy and water consumption. If you want to know more about all the criteria that must be met, you can visit Green Salon's website.
