Low-tox colour range
The future of hair is cleaner, safer, and more sustainable — and that’s exactly why we chose Original Mineral (O&M). After a year of research, we fell in love with this Australian-born brand that blends nature and luxury in a range of professional colours and styling products.
O&M is PETA approved, cruelty-free, and gentle on the skin, replacing harsh chemicals with active natural extracts and minerals. Their formulas feature native Australian ingredients like Lilly Pilly, Banksia Flower, Quandong, Tasmanian Sea Kelp, and Davidson Plum, plus essential oils that deliver real benefits.
Thanks to their Molecular Blend Technology (MBT), O&M colours give incredible vibrancy, shine, and longevity — all while protecting your hair. And because they stay true to their promise, you’ll never find ammonia, PPD, or resorcinol in their products.
With O&M, you get the cleanest professional colour in the world — beautiful, safe, effective, and made to last.
SUSTainable salon
At Oscar & Ivy, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword — it’s who we are. Since 2019, we’ve proudly partnered with Sustainable Salons, a social enterprise helping us reduce our impact on the planet while giving back to local communities. Every client contributes a small $3 green fee, which allows us to recycle or repurpose up to 95% of salon waste.
Here’s how your visit makes a difference:
• Plastics → recycled into outdoor furniture, packaging & landscaping products.
• Foil & metals → proceeds donated to OzHarvest & KiwiHarvest, turning waste into meals.
• Hair clippings → made into Hair Booms to soak up oil spills, or used in community gardens & art projects.
• Ponytails 20cm+ → donated to charities to create wigs for those with cancer or alopecia (Sustainable Salons is the largest donor in the Southern Hemisphere).
• Chemicals → safely collected, neutralised & converted into recycled water for roadworks and construction.
• Hygiene products → pulled apart and repurposed, keeping more waste out of landfill.
Every appointment at Oscar & Ivy doesn’t just make you feel amazing — it helps protect our planet and support those in need.
