Pure Collective Rolleston, at Shop 14, 9 Masefield Drive, describes itself as Christchurch's foremost organic hair salon and barber, bridging environmental consciousness, style and hair care excellence.
The Rolleston salon proudly prioritises sustainability, with a remarkable 91% commitment to natural and organic practices. All products used are natural, organic and sustainable, and most are vegan, chosen to prioritise client health and wellbeing without compromising on quality.
Pure Collective uses paper in the salon as an alternative to tin foil, washing and reusing it to reduce landfill impact. Hair collected in the salon is upcycled and used as a sustainable material, and the salon offers refills for retail products like shampoo and conditioner — bring in a clean, empty bottle for a refill and receive a green discount.
The salon recycles all glass and as much plastic as possible, staying conscious of minimising plastic consumption overall. Cardboard is recycled through Reclaim Christchurch, a 100% New Zealand, zero-landfill organisation.
Pure Collective is proud to use Meridian Energy, one of New Zealand's leading power companies, generating power from 100% renewable sources. At the basin, eco heads with a special filtration system ionise the water and remove sediment, leaving hair cleaner and healthier while minimising water usage.
Pure Collective donates non-coloured or chemically treated ponytails, with a minimum length of 36cm, to charitable organisations and local wig-makers, helping create wigs for people with medically induced hair-loss conditions such as alopecia and cancer.
The salon is led by owner and director Philippa Adams, passionate about sustainability and quality hair service. Senior stylist Brooke Carrington loves foils and balayage, Letisha Ducharme specialises in natural and lived-in colour, and Moe Aslam loves barbering and layered women's cuts. Stylist Abbey Leith enjoys cutting and learning new colours, JP brings 15-plus years of industry experience as a senior hairdresser and makeup artist known for precision and warm client care, and Connie specialises in colouring, from creative transformations to colour correction.
Regulars describe feeling happy and comfortable from the moment they walk in, praising the team's integrity, product knowledge and the trust built over years of visits. One client described the salon as offering an experience, not just a haircut, while another said the team rescued her from a disappointing colouring experience years ago and she hasn't looked back since.
Pure Collective is open Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9am to 5pm, and Tuesday and Wednesday from 9am to 8pm. It's closed on Sundays. Appointments can be booked online, and the salon can also be reached by phone or email.
Between its deep commitment to sustainability, a skilled and specialised team, and a genuine focus on client trust and experience, Pure Collective Rolleston offers a hair and barbering experience built around loving the earth as much as loving your hair.
