Not Another Salon launches a pioneering initiative for Price Inclusivity
by INDUSTRY NEWS
|Not Another Salon has been a driving force of inclusivity and innovation in the last decade. Since becoming the world’s first gender-neutral salon in 2017, then continuing to pioneer unique offerings such as silent haircuts and mirror-free experiences that went viral globally, Sophia Hilton, founder of Not Another Salon is taking a bold new step.
“Inclusivity these days seems to focus so strongly on sexuality, gender, and race,” says Sophia. “While that is hugely important, in order to be truly inclusive we have to consider all aspects of inclusivity, and that includes economic access.”
Not Another Salon are proud to launch this new pioneering initiative, Price Inclusivity, becoming the first salon in the UK to offer a specific number of appointments each month at a reduced cost for individuals on low incomes. All clients have to do is provide an income statement or bank statement and make less than £25,000 a year.
How It Works
Each month Not Another Salon will allocate a set number of selected appointments and services to be offered at a reduced price. These appointments are designed to accommodate individuals who would like premium salon services but may find them financially challenging. Availability will be on a first-come, first-served basis, to ensure fairness and equity.
Sustainable Quality and Commitment
“It was tough to create these appointments because after all, we have premium prices for a reason,” Sophia adds. “Our team is among the most highly trained in the country, our rent is high as we’re in a premium location, and the products we use are the best money can buy. We’ve created a menu of appointments and services that we were able to reduce, while still making it viable to our business.”
