Sadler Hair & Beauty · Luton
A salon with a conscience.
A story still growing.
Sadler began as a struggling salon and became a five-star, award-winning Aveda salon known for its people, its standards and the choices it made for the planet.
The Luton salon closed in June 2025 when its lease ended. The experience and ideas behind it continue.

A different kind of salon business
Good business can feel good, too.
From the start, Sadler was shaped by a simple idea: a salon could be commercially successful while making more considered choices about people, products and the planet.
That meant more than choosing a greener colour range. It meant looking at how the building worked, what we bought, how we treated people and what we could give back.
