Unlock Your Salon’s Sustainability Potential with the Free Earth Month Marketing Toolkit
As we gear up for Earth Month 2025 this April, there’s a golden opportunity for salon owners to not only showcase their commitment to sustainability but also to engage with clients on a deeper level. A recent study from Sustain Beauty Co revealed that nearly 60% of clients would hold their salon in higher regard if they were informed about its sustainability initiatives. This significant statistic underscores the importance of aligning your salon’s values with those of your clientele.
Bridging the Gap: Understanding Guest Perspectives
The Disconnect in Perceptions
Research indicates that there exists a stark misalignment between what salon professionals believe their clients think about sustainability and what clients actually value. While many salon professionals feel that sustainability is not a priority for their guests, the reality reflects a different sentiment.
“As we mark Earth Month, it’s vital that we recognize this disconnect and initiate more productive conversations,” emphasizes Valorie Tate, founder of Sustain Beauty Co. By opening lines of communication internally and externally, salons can craft marketing strategies that resonate.

Understanding the Financial Landscape
The Green Fee Debate
Another critical aspect of the sustainability conversation is the funding of initiatives. The recent Green Fee Survey highlighted that only 22% of salons currently impose a surcharge to support expenses associated with recycling and waste reduction. Notably, approximately one-third of professionals oppose this fee due to fears that clients would resist it.
“There’s a misconception among industry professionals that guests are indifferent to sustainability or unwilling to pay for it,” explains Tate. Interestingly, last year’s survey revealed that 60% of respondents deem sustainability crucial yet believe their peers and clients consider it important only 30% and 20% of the time, respectively. This insight points to an urgent need for open discussions and strategizing around sustainability.
