1st Sustainable Salon
in Co. Kildare
We are Co. Kildare’s first sustainable salon, providing a delightful retreat championing sustainability.
Offering the nourishing OB-1 hair experience, whilst leaving a minimal footprint on the planet, we are dedicated to achieving beautiful hair for all clients and on a thriving planet.
With no planet B, OB-1 is committed to being part of the solution, transforming our place and people to better serve our precious planet.
We add €2 to all services to assist in the costs.

Place:
Through our partnership with Green Salon Collective, OB-1 proudly sends ZERO waste to landfill, instead transforming all waste into something new, creating meaningful wins for our planet.
Making the salon a healthier space for staff and clients to experience, OB-1 is harnessing plant power with an indoor plant wall, helping to purify the air and offering the perfect backdrop to celebrate our clients’ transformations.
People:
Sustainability is just as much about people. OB-1 empowers its team by working with a life coach and by transforming staff work/life balance, ensuring we look out for our minds, each other, and our planet.
OB-1 seeks to harness the powerful connection between stylists and clients to unite and lead the sustainable conversation within hair beauty.
This is a mission which OB-1 invites everyone to join.
