Celebrating Earth Day
Celebrating Earth Day at Melanie Richards Salon – Because There’s No Planet B!
Earth Day might have been on April 22nd, but here at Melanie Richards Hair & Beauty Salon in Peterborough, we believe every day is a chance to show a little love to our beautiful planet.
Earth Day is all about taking a moment to reflect on how important our Earth is and the steps we can take, big and small, to cherish, protect, and preserve it. At our salon, we’re proud to say that sustainability isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a part of our daily beauty routine. Here's how our team is making your salon experience not only fabulous, but also kind to the planet...

Shining Bright with Energy-Efficient Lights
All our salon lighting is powered by energy-efficient bulbs. These bulbs not only keep our space beautifully lit but also help us use less electricity. That’s a glow-up the Earth can get behind!
Biodegradable Towels = Cleaner Conscience
We’ve swapped traditional towels for biodegradable ones, reducing our water usage and electricity consumption. Less laundry, more love for the Earth.
Plants, Plants, and More Plants!
Our salon is lush with live greenery. Plants don't just look good - they work hard, too, producing oxygen and making our space a little slice of nature.
Colour with a Conscience
We use Aveda colour, which comes in aluminium tubes. These tubes are infinitely recyclable, meaning less waste and more fabulous hair, responsibly.
Recycling Like Pros
From foil used in highlighting services to hair clippings, we recycle it all with the help of the amazing Green Salon Collective. This means less salon waste going to landfill—and that makes a big difference!
Coffee Grounds & Hair Clippings = Plant Power
Yes, you read that right! Our used coffee grounds and hair cuttings are turned into fertiliser that feeds our in-salon plants. From bean to green—it’s a beautiful cycle.
Hair That Helps
Got long hair? Don’t let it go to waste! Our leftover Great Lengths extensions over 40cm are lovingly collected and donated to the Little Princess Trust, helping to create wigs for children and young people experiencing hair loss.
Proud to Be a Green Salon
At Melanie Richards, we’re passionate about more than just hair & beauty, we’re committed to being a Green Salon that plays its part in creating a better, cleaner world. We know that sustainability starts with small steps, and we’re proud to take them every single day.
So next time you pop in for a fresh cut, colour, or just a relaxing pamper, know that you’re not just treating yourself, you’re helping the planet, too.
Happy Earth Day (every day!) from all of us at Melanie Richards.
