Does your salon use disposable towels, but perhaps not vegan ones? Or are you a salon that uses reusable cotton towels? Below, we catch up with Enki Towels Director, Nilofer Aydinli, about the importance of using vegan disposable towels. She discusses not only how they are more environmentally friendly and help save costs in the salon, but also how they enhance brand reputation, increase hygiene and are gentler on clients’ skin and hair, to name a few benefits.
Saves water and energy – eliminates the constant washing and drying associated with traditional cotton towels therefore reducing the salon’s water consumption and energy usage.
Biodegradable – Crafted from natural plant fibers like Enki, vegan disposable towels break down naturally, returning to the earth as nutrient-rich compost rather than lingering in landfill for centuries.
Enhanced brand reputation – clients are becoming more and more eco-conscious. Adopting sustainable practices and communicating these benefits to clients can attract new customers, build loyalty, and enhance the salon’s brand image as an environmentally responsible business.
Gentle on client’s hair and skin – the smooth texture and high absorbency of vegan disposable towels made from 100% natural plant fibres like Enki, allow for less friction on the hair, which can subsequently lead to frizz and damage.
Luxurious without animal-derived materials – Modern vegan disposable towels like Enki deliver a premium, spa-quality feel using 100% plant-based fibres. Soft, absorbent, and high quality without animal products, synthetic coatings, or compromised ethics – a conscious luxury clients can feel good about!
Increased hygiene – Vegan disposable towels ensure each client receives a fresh, single-use towel made from 100% plant-based fibres for every appointment. Unlike reusable towels that depend on repeated laundering and chemical detergents, vegan towels reduce the risk of bacteria buildup, residue and animal-derived processing agents touching the hair and skin. The result is a higher standard of hygiene that’s advantageous not only to the clients, but the environment too.
Cost savings – While the upfront cost of disposable vegan towels may seem like a new/additional expense, salons can save thousands annually using them in replacement of traditional cotton towels – eliminating the need for frequent washing, drying, detergent costs and the cost to frequently replace worn out cotton towels. Vegan disposable towels offer an efficient, cost-effective solution that supports sustainability and vegan values, proving that ethical choices don’t need to cost more.
Space saving – Enki vegan disposable towels are compact and can be bought in boxes for easier storage. This allows salons to support a cleaner salon space and provides salons with minimal footprint.
