in London Vegan Hair Salon
GA Salons offers genuinely plant-based hair colour and treatments across four London locations. Our signature colour formulas are made from henna, indigo, chamomile, walnut, turmeric, hibiscus, and rhubarb — botanical ingredients with no animal-derived components. We use cruelty-free products and our approach has always been rooted in working with nature, not against it.
What Makes GA Salons a Vegan-Friendly Salon
Being vegan-friendly goes beyond simply avoiding animal testing. A truly vegan-friendly salon ensures that the products touching your hair and scalp are free from animal-derived ingredients — no keratin from hooves, no beeswax, no lanolin from sheep wool, no silk proteins, and no carmine. At GA Salons, our plant-based colour system was designed this way from the start.
100% Plant-Based Colour Ingredients
Our GA Organic Color line is formulated entirely from plants, herbs, and flowers. The active colouring agents — henna (Lawsonia inermis), indigo (Indigofera tinctoria), chamomile, walnut hull, turmeric, hibiscus, and rhubarb — are all botanical. No animal-derived pigments, no synthetic dyes, and full ingredient transparency.
Cruelty-Free Products
We partner with Oway (Organic Way), a PETA-certified cruelty-free brand made in Bologna, Italy. Oway has never tested on animals and does not distribute to markets that require animal testing. Their products carry PETA certification and adhere to RSPO sustainable palm oil standards.
No Hidden Animal Derivatives
Many conventional salon products contain animal-derived ingredients that clients never see on the label: keratin sourced from hooves and feathers, lanolin from sheep wool, silk amino acids, collagen from animal connective tissue, and shellac from lac insects. Our plant-based formulas avoid all of these.
Plant-Forward Treatments
Beyond colour, our hair treatments use rosemary, nettle, amla, and biotin-rich botanical formulas. Our Herbs Hair Spa is a 100% organic conditioning treatment using only plant ingredients. Our herbal scalp treatments support healthy hair growth using chamomile, hibiscus, and bhringraj.
An Ethical Approach Since Day One
Founder Gennaro Dell'Aquila built GA Salons around the principle that beautiful hair should not require harsh chemicals or animal-derived ingredients. This is not a recent trend adoption — it has been central to our identity since we opened. Every product that touches your hair is crafted with botanical ingredients, free from parabens, carcinogens, and synthetic additives.
Our Vegan-Friendly Services
Natural Hair Colouring
Our signature service. Custom-blended plant formulas create colours from warm blonde through deep auburn to rich brunette and black. Henna binds directly to keratin, strengthening the hair shaft while depositing colour. Results last 4-6 weeks and build in richness. See our full natural colouring page for details.
Precision Hair Cutting
Expert precision cutting from Italian-trained stylists. Our approach considers your hair's natural texture, growth pattern, and lifestyle to create cuts that maintain their shape as they grow. All styling products used during cutting are cruelty-free.
Plant-Based Treatments
Deep conditioning, anti-frizz smoothing, scalp detox, and bond repair treatments using botanical formulas. Our anti-frizz treatment reduces frizz for up to 8 weeks using formaldehyde-free, plant-forward formulas. All treatments are free from animal-derived ingredients.
Beauty Services
Our beauty offering includes facials, nail care, eyebrow services, waxing, and OxyLight facial therapy. We select cruelty-free products across our beauty services. Speak with your therapist about the specific products used for your treatment.
