The New Wave of Men’s Grooming in Australia
In 2026, more Australian men are choosing haircuts and grooming practices that not only look sharp — but are also kinder to the planet.
From sustainable products to water-saving techniques, the shift toward eco-friendly barbering is growing fast.
At ACM BARBERS in Westfield Hornsby, we’re proud to be part of this movement with smarter choices, cleaner products, and environmentally conscious service options.
Here’s how sustainable grooming is shaping the future of men’s hair in Australia.
1. Eco-Friendly Products That Work Hard — Without Harming the Planet
Modern barbershops are moving away from harsh chemicals and single-use plastics.
At ACM BARBERS, we are introducing cleaner, greener alternatives:
✔ Natural styling clays & waxes
Made with fewer chemicals and biodegradable ingredients.
✔ Sulphate-free and paraben-free shampoos
Gentler on hair and healthier for the environment.
✔ Refillable or recyclable packaging
Reducing unnecessary plastic use.
✔ Cruelty-free grooming brands
Ethical, responsible options for conscious customers.
These products still offer strong hold, volume, and texture — without compromising the planet.
2. Smarter Water & Energy Use in Barbering
Sustainability isn’t just about products — it’s also about daily habits.
Many Australian barbershops in 2026 are adopting:
✔ Low-flow washing equipment
Reduces water use during shampooing.
✔ Energy-efficient clippers and tools
Uses less electricity while delivering the same sharp finish.
✔ Reduced towel washing cycles
High-efficiency washers that cut water and energy consumption.
At ACM BARBERS, these choices allow us to offer premium cuts while minimising environmental impact.
3. Waste-Conscious grooming: Small Changes, Big Impact
Waste from traditional barbering adds up — plastic tubs, disposable razors, product tubes, and more.
Sustainable grooming focuses on reducing that footprint.
At ACM BARBERS we work toward:
Recycling packaging where possible
Choosing bulk products to reduce single-use waste
Using biodegradable neck strips
Minimising unnecessary disposables
A cleaner shop means a cleaner planet.
4. Why Men Are Choosing Sustainable Grooming in 2026
Men across Australia — especially younger generations — are becoming more mindful of what they put in their hair and how their grooming habits affect the environment.
The top reasons?
✔ Better for sensitive skin
✔ Better for hair health
✔ Better for the environment
