Salem + Co is a hair and beauty salon at 277 Waiwhetu Road in Fairfield, Lower Hutt, established in 2014. The website says the team specialises in balayage, foiling, creative colouring, hair and lash extensions, haircuts and cosmetic tattooing. It also has an online store, I Love Your Hair, that carries its own line and the brands it uses.
Clients can book silent appointments, work from a space in the salon, and use free WiFi, with an extra long scalp massage among the extras. The salon is a member of Sustainable Salons and says it recycles what it can, and it uses Keune products, from a brand that has become B-Corp certified. Donated ponytails go to wig makers. Clients get a reminder text two days before their appointment, and the salon asks people to let it know as early as possible if they can't come. Our pick in Fairfield for colour and cuts from a salon with a sustainability focus.
