Eco-Conscious Hair Salon in Prince George
Pepper Tree Hair Studio was founded on the principle that inner well-being directly influences outer beauty. Established over four decades ago in Prince George, British Columbia, our studio combines decades of technical expertise with a deep commitment to sustainability and cultural preservation. Our team of stylists, with over 60 years of combined experience, specializes in personalized consultations that consider hair type, color, and individual aesthetics to help clients achieve their most authentic look. As a First Nations-owned business, we prioritize harmony with nature through our use of Aveda's plant-powered products and our Green-Circle Certified recycling practices. Our eco-conscious approach extends to every aspect of our operations, from repurposing hair into oil-absorbing 'hair booms' to recycling foils and product containers.We also serve as a cultural hub by curating a unique collection of First Nations artisan goods that directly benefit Indigenous communities. Our location within Prince George's premier luxury hotel, The Coast by APA, reflects our commitment to excellence in both service and environment. Recognized as the only Aveda Select Salon in the region, we maintain rigorous standards for product quality and environmental stewardship. Our pricing structure balances competitiveness with the premium nature of our services and ethical products. Through consistent community engagement and sustainable practices, we strive to be more than a hair studio - we aim to be a model for responsible business in northern British Columbia.
