Middle EastL'Oréal’s Professional Products Division launches its “Hairstylists for the Future by L’Oréal” programme at Expo 2020 Dubai
The program aims to continue to transform the hairstyling industry and engage all hairstylists in the sustainable transition.
L'Oréal, historic partner of hairstylists for more than 110 years, has gone further in its sustainable commitments towards the industry, and announced its next steps in ensuring a strong and prosperous future for the profession.
“Hairstylists for the Future by L’Oréal” is a sustainable development programme to engage hairstylists and help them to reduce their sustainable footprint. The program has a three-pronged approach:
- Water - Managing water sustainability. L’Oréal has partnered with Gjosa to develop technologies that reduce water consumption by up to 65% thanks to the Gjosa showerhead.
- Waste - Preserving natural resources. Hair is a major source of waste in hair salons its unique nature allows for innovative applications : waste sort with partners like Veolia, recycling, furniture, noise reduction, digital windows, vegetal walls, shower heads, merchandising, lights, backbars, refills, towels, transportation and products.
- Energy - Fighting climate change. L’Oréal is increasingly switching to renewable energies, such as solar, wind or hydraulic. 80% of salon energy is consumed by lighting, hairdryers, heating water and coolers.
The Professional Products Division will also give sustainability training to hairdressers all over the world via the online e-learning platform L’Oréal ACCESS, which now counts 500,000 users in 100 countries.
At Expo 2020 Dubai, L’Oréal Professional Products showcase its “Hairsylists for the Future by L’Oréal” salon, a hair salon focused on the sustainable transformation from sourcing to production, addressing topics such as packaging, water saving and waste management. In the salon, visitors will also be able to experience the water saving shower technology developed by the Swiss company Gjosa.
