14 Vegan Salons for Every Beauty Service You May Need

You can control the beauty products that make it into your home, but when it’s time to bring in the professionals, there’s a risk of compromising ethics for a service you simply can’t do at home. Whether you’re booking a massage, a waxing, or your weekly nail appointment, you can breathe a sigh of relief—there are salons out there that uphold the same cruelty-free standards as you do. Check in to one of these 14 vegan salons the next time you’re in need of a beauty pro. 

1. Pure Organic Salon, Laguna Beach, CA

This “OC” salon is serious about two things—hair and high standards. All products are vegan, cruelty-free, and organic, and each client is treated like royalty. From your basic cut and wash to more elaborate services such as extensions, curly hair treatments, and bleach-free coloring, you’ll walk out with your best style yet. The salon also offers organic, vegan facials, speed waxing, and relaxing nail services. 

2. Virtue Salon, Columbus, OH 

Not only does this hair salon take pride in its 100-percent vegan line of products, but it also advocates and practices sustainability on every level. All products are eco-friendly—right down to their packaging—and the business is moving toward a zero-waste concept with its robust recycling and composting practices. Book your appointment on a Friday or a Saturday and take advantage of the vegan food trucks stationed outside. 

3. Meleesa The Salon, Huntington Beach, CA

More than just a hair cut, this SoCal hair salon takes the concept of a new ‘do, new you to a whole new level. The business promises enlightenment and empowerment through its soul-searching beauty experience. We love that they teach you the tips and tricks needed to recreate the look at home!

4. Nola Organic Spa, New Orleans, LA

Don’t expect your basic Swedish or deep tissue massage here—all services are tailored to the client in order to deliver the most satisfying 30, 60, or 80 minutes of your day. Relax into the heated table knowing that all products your masseuse is soothingly slathering on your body are vegan. We’re booking an appointment here every time we visit the Big Easy. 

5. Fabi’s Hair Studio, New York City, NY

While New York City is home to expertly polished handfuls of organic and cruelty-free salons, Fabi’s is one of the few that uses exclusively vegan products. The chic space offers everything your locks may need—from an affordable cut and style to specialty hair treatments such as Brazilian Keratin and relaxers. 

6. Goodbye Lulu, Allentown, PA

For those who live in Pittsburgh, PA proper, this vegan and chemical-free nail salon is worth the drive to the suburbs. Opt for the basic Unpolished, but Polished Manicure or go for some color with your choice of gel or polygel for a long-lasting look. The manicurists double as artists, so be bold and ask for nail art. 

7. Paint Nail Bar, Miami, FL

Paint is not about the in-and-out service. This vegan nail salon wants to pamper you during your entire stay. Expect attention to detail (meaning your manicurist won’t keep filing to the point of pain), soothing sugar scrubs, mini hand or foot massages, and of course, a brilliant paint job. We wish the color didn’t last so long so we could return more often. 

8. John Bruno Hair Salon, Fort Lauderdale, FL

Receive the red carpet treatment at this completely vegan and totally pampering hair salon. Customers rave about the service, attention to detail, and high quality of every single product used on their scalp. If you live near the Fort Lauderdale area, you just found your hairdresser for life. 

9. Knick Salon and Spa, (Milwaukee, WI)

It's surely a sign of the times when so many states sport vegan salons! This Milwaukee joint relies on the powers of plants--including the hemp plant which stars in a CBD facial to rejuvinate skin.

10. Nails Envie, Las Vegas, NV
