Our Green Sanctuary: Inside India's First Sustainable Salon
We’ve transformed a Khar bungalow into a green escape. Come for the hair transformation, stay for the chai in our garden.
Welcome to Mad O Wot. I wanted to create a space that felt like an escape, filled with plants, natural light, and good energy. Our salon stations are made from reclaimed wood, surrounded by greenery to make your visit as relaxing as possible.
The consultation process here is different. We start with a chat, often over a cup of chai in our garden. It’s about understanding you and your hair in a relaxed, beautiful setting before we even think about touching a pair of scissors.
I didn't just want to reopen a salon, I wanted to bring a piece of my sustainable life into the city. This video explains my journey and why creating a green, conscious space was non-negotiable. Mad O Wot is back, but it's greener and more mindful than ever.
Sustainability is in our DNA. These beautiful wooden tables in our salon weren't bought, they were born from old doors we found in the bungalow before we moved in. We believe in giving things a second life.
Even our cooling is conscious. The air conditioning units in the salon are refurbished models that consume 30% less electricity. It's a small detail, but every greener step we take matters.
Nothing goes to waste here. The water collected from our AC units is reused to nourish the plants in our garden and keep our outdoor space clean. It's a simple, circular system that helps us conserve resources.
We don't just guess what's best for the planet. We work closely with a professional sustainability firm that guides our choices, ensuring that every decision we make is a step in the right, greener direction.
Our commitment to conscious beauty extends to every bottle on our shelves. All our hair care products are not only vegan and cruelty-free, but they also come in recycled and recyclable packaging to minimize our footprint.
About Our Green Sanctuary
Did you know that the air conditioning you feel while we work on your hair is also watering our garden? We have rigged the AC units to collect condensation, ensuring that every drop we use is part of a closed, conscious loop. It is just one way we ensure our bungalow sanctuary stays true to the planet.
Sustainability isn't a marketing tag here. It is the floorboards beneath your feet. When we set out to build this green salon in Khar, we made a pact to only use what we could repurpose. The tables you see? They are the original doors of this bungalow, saved from the landfill and restored to hold your coffee and coloring bowls.
We work with professional sustainability consultants to audit every step we take. From the vegan, cruelty-free products that treat your hair without harsh chemicals to the recycled packaging on our shelves, every choice is intentional. We don't believe in the 'rush job' salon culture. Instead, we offer a space to breathe. You will find no aggressive blow dryers here, just our signature 'Rickshaw Dry' and a garden that actually helps filter the air.
We are here for the wild souls who want conscious beauty. Whether you are coming in for a transformation or just a trim, you are entering a space where we prioritize the environment as much as your style. We’ve built a place where you can be yourself, sip chai in the garden, and leave knowing your hair look didn't cost the earth a thing. It is a little piece of the hills right here in Mumbai.
