Gina conway named best sustainable salon at marie claire awards

The Gina Conway Group has been crowned ‘Best Sustainable Hair Salon’ at this year’s Marie Claire Sustainability Awards. The group, which currently employs over 100 individuals and represents the cutting edge in luxury environmental salon experiences as Aveda Lifestyle Salons and Spas in all locations, was selected by an award-winning judging panel of more than 50 of the world’s leading sustainability experts, activists and the Marie Claire UK editorial team. Gina said, “I just love Marie Claire’s commitment to the environment and the incredible work they do towards creating a greener future. This award means so much to us because taking care of the environment is at the very heart of everything that we do. “Every member of our team is committed to doing their bit, helping us to lead the way in driving sustainable practices within the hair and beauty industry and we are so proud to work with Aveda and be a part of their mission to take care of the earth.” Gina Conway was praised by judge Millie Kendall OBE, as a “brilliant voice of the industry,” while the salon group was recognised for its wide range of sustainable practices, from low-voltage lighting to water restrictors and working with the Green Salon Collective to sort, recycle and compost salon waste. In addition, the judges also commended the group’s team members, all of whom have to complete the Sustainable Stylist Certification and a ‘Pledge to the Planet’ contract setting out their commitment to positive change when they join the business, ensuring that the whole company is aligned in its mission to make the planet a better place.
