Beloved Christchurch salon Surreal Hairdressing has returned to the central city, and is maxing out on sustainability.

Surreal has been styling up a storm for 23 years, and was forced to move from Victoria Street after the Canterbury earthquakes. Thinking and moving quickly, owner Michelle Marsh bought a villa in St Albans and renovated it as a stunning salon.

Ten years later, Michelle says it was time to bring Surreal home to the central city. She found a space in Victoria Street right next door to where the old salon was, and has decked it out spectacularly. The enormous new salon feels open and airy, with a plant wall and a green aura.

The greenness extends beyond the décor, too. The move was an opportunity to step up the sustainability game, and Surreal is fully embracing making the world a better place.

As part of the Sustainable Salons programme, Surreal uses planet-friendly products, and recycles 95% of all salon waste. The Sustainable Salons programme also funds charity partners and provides meals for those in need through KiwiHarvest.
