Black Flamingo Studio

The verdict

Tucked away on the north side of Brisbane, Black Flamingo Studio (formerly known as The Ruby Room) is a boutique, sustainable hair salon.

It's run by hairdressers Elle and Bek, who met while working in the western suburbs. Owning a salon was always the dream, and the girls bring over 20 years' combined experience to the table. Sustainability was also a big factor. That's why Black Flamingo Studio collects 95% of all the salon waste and 100% of proceeds from repurposed materials go straight to OzHarvest and KiwiHarvest, providing meals for those in need.

The brand partners are sustainable too. Expect premium salon goods like Kevin Murphy, Eleven, Wella and Goldwell. 

Get a trim, get a colour, save the world. It's a pretty good business recipe.
