Luxury and sustainability don’t have to sit at opposite ends of the table. In fact, at Common Thread, we believe the most beautiful hair is the kind that’s cared for responsibly - with products, practices, and choices that look after you and the planet. Because the world doesn’t need another hair fad, but it does need us all to make better choices.
Why Sustainable Haircare Matters
Traditional products often come with hidden costs - harsh chemicals, excess packaging, and waste that piles up in landfills. Sustainable haircare flips that on its head. It’s about finding results-driven options that are healthier for you, kinder to your stylist, and gentler on the environment.
For our guests, that means:
- Ammonia-free colour with zero harsh smells and scalp irritation.
- Ethically sourced, cruelty-free products that actually deliver.
- 95% salon waste is recycled through our Sustainable Salons NZ partnership.
What We Use at Common Thread
Walking into your favourite hair salon in Pukekohe should feel like stepping into a space where your choices align with your values. That’s why we’ve curated products that are both eco-conscious and luxe:
- EVO Hue-verse Ammonia-Free Colour → Bold, glossy results without the chemical baggage.
- Lakmē K.20 Bond-Building → Repairs bonds, protects colour, keeps hair strong and silky.
- Lakmē Teknia Scalp Care → Balances and soothes with microbiome technology and sustainable formulations tailored to what your scalp actually needs.
These ranges prove eco-friendly doesn’t mean compromising on performance - it means elevating your results.
The Common Thread Difference
At Common Thread Hair, we don’t just say “eco-friendly salon” - we live it. Every detail is considered:
- Colour tubes, foils, and even hair clippings are recycled.
- We choose products that protect your health and ours.
- Treatments are designed to keep your hair healthy long-term, so you need less, not more.
It’s luxury with substance.
What You Can Do at Home
Sustainability doesn’t stop at the basin. A few small shifts make a big difference:
- Wash less often → saves water, saves your colour.
- Air-dry more → healthier hair, lower power bills.
- Buy better, not more → a few great multi-tasking products beat a cupboard full of half-used bottles.
The Luxe Truth
Caring for your hair and caring for the planet are not separate goals; they’re part of the same beautiful picture. With the right products, conscious salon practices, and a mindful approach at home, you can have sustainable hair luxury that feels every bit as polished as it looks.
