Non-toxic or organic hair color swaps these harsh chemicals for kinder, more intelligent ingredients. At our studio, non-toxic means we use products that are safe for you, our stylists, and the planet. Our color line of choice, O&M from Australia, is a leader in this field.

O&M color is:

Ammonia-Free: It uses a much gentler, non-volatile alkalising agent to open the hair cuticle without the damaging effects or strong smell.
PPD-Free: It’s free from known harsh allergens, making it a brilliant choice for those with sensitive skin or scalps.
Vegan & Cruelty-Free: Never tested on animals and containing no animal-derived ingredients.
Packed with Goodness: Infused with a blend of natural oils, proteins, and botanical extracts that actually condition your hair during the coloring process.

5 Reasons to Switch to O&M Non-Toxic Color at Our Alexandria Salon

Making the switch to O&M isn't just about avoiding the bad stuff—it's about embracing something truly better.

Vibrant, Long-Lasting Color That Doesn't Compromise: Don’t believe that organic color is less effective. O&M delivers rich, radiant, and durable color that stands up to any conventional brand. The difference is in the health of your hair when you leave our chair.
Healthier Hair and Scalp from the Start: Because the formulas are free from ammonia and PPD, you avoid the irritation, dryness, and damage. The inclusion of ingredients like keratin, ginseng, and babassu oil means your hair is being treated and nourished from the inside out, resulting in a brilliant shine and soft feel.
A Calmer, Safer Salon Experience: Say goodbye to the burning sensation and overpowering chemical smell. Your color service with us is a relaxing, aromatic experience. This is especially important for expecting mothers, clients with allergies, or anyone with respiratory sensitivities.
It’s an Investment in Your Overall Well-Being: What you put on your skin and scalp is absorbed into your body. By choosing a non-toxic color, you are reducing your overall toxic load and making a conscious choice for your long-term health.
Better for the Planet (and Your Stylist): O&M is committed to sustainability, using recyclable packaging and ethically sourced ingredients. By choosing us, you’re supporting a salon that prioritizes the health of our team and our environment every single day.
