SUSTAINABILITY

OUR MISSION

At Wild Desert Beauty we aim to provide outstanding hair services in a welcoming, creative, non-toxic, and supportive environment for our stylists and clients.

 

We believe that health matters for people and the planet. We want to leave the world in a better place than we found it, not only for ourselves, but for those that come after us.

 

We seek to minimize our environmental impact by focusing on reducing and recycling our waste, using less harmful chemicals and through intentional sustainable practices.

 

We support stylists by offering the freedom to create a work life that reflects their individual goals and values. We believe this is achieved by allowing our employees control over their schedules, services and pricing, in addition to transparent commission pay and supportive leadership.
