Colour and Hair Care
Sustainability
At Little Birdie Hair Co, we believe beautiful hair shouldn’t have to cost you your health, which is why we only use low-tox colour and haircare brands.
With Hueverse by Evo as our colour brand of choice, we are able to keep our clients' hair healthy, all while achieving their dream locks. Hueverse is PPD, ammonia and resorcinol free. As the cleanest colour on the market, this made complete sense!
All of our hair care ranges are free of parabens, sulphates and artificial silicones, as well as being vegan and packaging derived from reduced or recycled plastic.

Community Care
Alongside our commitment to sustainability, giving back to the community is at the core of Little Birdie Hair Co. Each Friday, we select a local charity to assist in fundraising with the support of our clients.
​
At Little Birdie Hair Co, community, family and women's health are at the centre of our ethos, which is why we continue to raise awareness and champion fundraising to do our part in supporting women and children's health and well-being initiates.
​
Some of our community initiatives include fundraising for current global issues and events and donating to local businesses. Currently, we are working towards our White Ribbon Accreditation, aimed to help us identify signs of violence. We plan to apply these skills to both our staff and clientele to help aid in breaking the domestic violence cycle.
Greenfleet Partnership
At Little Birdie Hair Co, we take environmental responsibility seriously. This is why we have partnered with Greenfleet, a leading environmental non-profit organisation and Australia’s most trusted source of biodiverse carbon offsets to take practical climate action.
“At Greenfleet, we are restoring native forests and growing climate hope thanks to the contributions of our amazing supporters, just like Little Birdie Hair Co,” said Wayne Wescott, CEO of Greenfleet.
For every new client here at Little Birdie Hair Co, we plant 5 native trees with Greenfleet to help restore native forests around the country.
By offsetting our emissions with Greenfleet, we are taking practical action against climate change and helping to restore Australia’s forests, recreate crucial habitat for native wildlife and transform degraded land back to its natural state.
