Eco-Friendly Barber Supplies: Sustainable Choices for Your Shop

In 2025, being a modern barber means more than sharp fades and fresh line-ups — it also means making conscious choices about the tools and products you use. As clients become more eco-aware, sustainable barbering isn’t just a trend — it's a movement. The good news? You don’t have to compromise on quality to go green.

This guide dives into the best eco-friendly barber supplies that are good for your business, your clients, and the planet. Whether you’re fully revamping your setup or just making small swaps, this is your sustainable starting point.

Why Sustainability Matters in Barbering

Barbershops produce more waste than most realise — from disposable razors and gloves to product packaging and cleaning sprays. Making just a few key changes can:

• Reduce plastic and chemical waste
• Enhance your brand’s reputation
• Attract eco-conscious clients
• Save money with long-lasting, refillable tools

Top Eco-Friendly Barber Products in 2025

1. Biodegradable Neck Strips & Towels

Swap out synthetic neck strips and single-use paper towels with biodegradable options made from bamboo or recycled materials. They break down naturally and feel just as professional.

2. Refillable Spray Bottles & Dispensers

Upgrade your barber spray bottles to refillable, BPA-free options. These reduce plastic waste and pair perfectly with eco-conscious disinfectants.

3. Natural Bristle Brushes

Brushes made with wood handles and boar or plant-based bristles last longer and cut down on synthetic materials. Plus, they’re gentler on the skin and scalp.

4. Low-Waste Shaving & Beard Care

Choose shaving creams and oils packaged in glass or aluminium tins. Better yet, opt for brands offering refills or subscription models to cut packaging waste.

5. Energy-Efficient Clippers & Dryers

Tools like the BaBylissPRO Falco Dryer are designed for performance with lower energy consumption. Look for devices with eco modes or brushless motors.

Setting Up a Green Barbershop

• Switch to LED lighting to reduce power use.
• Use reusable capes and premium washable materials.
• Recycle your blades safely with metal recycling bins or blade banks.
• Partner with eco-conscious suppliers who minimise packaging and carbon emissions.
