Kesh Green Salon

Certified Green Salon

A cleaner, more caring way to create beauty

KESH – Pure Hair & Mind is an organic, Certified Green Salon where care for both people and the environment is at the heart of everything we do. Here, you receive all the traditional hair treatments you would expect from a professional salon — but without harmful chemicals and without compromising on quality.

At KESH, we protect calm and presence. No ringing phones. No interruptions. Only time, care, and a deeply personal experience. We welcome one client at a time, creating space for conversation, reflection, or complete silence.

Where to find us

KESH is located in bright, peaceful surroundings right by Nuuks Plads Metro Station, tucked away from traffic noise in a small oasis in the heart of Nørrebro.

 

What does it mean to be a Certified Green Salon?

As a Certified Green Salon, KESH is regularly inspected by Grøn Salon Skandinavien. The certification sets strict requirements for:

✔ Environmentally responsible and sustainable products
✔ Tested and approved hair colours and care
✔ No endocrine-disrupting substances
✔ No carcinogenic or allergy-inducing ingredients

If these standards are not met, the certification is withdrawn. This means you can feel completely confident that every product used on your hair and skin meets the highest standards.

Sustainability in every detail

About our hair products

Today, many salons describe themselves as “green” or “organic,” but these terms are not protected and are often used misleadingly. For example, some brands advertise colours without PPD while replacing it with PTD — an ingredient that is just as allergenic. At KESH, we never use these substances.

Our hair colours are free from:

  • PPD (extremely allergenic)

  • PTD / Toluene-2,5-diamine (extremely allergenic)

  • P-aminophenol

  • Resorcinol (allergenic and endocrine disrupting)

  • Ammonia (toxic and corrosive)

  • Perfume and essential oils (allergenic)

  • Silicone (can be absorbed through the skin)

  • Phthalates (endocrine disrupting)

When you colour your hair at KESH, you will often experience the colour as a nourishing treatment: your hair becomes stronger, shinier, and healthier — not dry or damaged.

We work with carefully selected brands such as Innersense Organic Beauty, and every shampoo, treatment, and styling product is chosen for both purity and performance.

A holistic sustainable practice

For us, being a Green Salon is about more than products. It is a complete approach:

  • Organic cotton towels

  • Fairtrade coffee and chocolate

  • Eco-labelled cleaning products

  • Water-saving systems and LED lighting

  • Sustainably produced furniture

  • Environmentally friendly materials and natural lime-washed walls

Everything is part of our care for both your well-being and our shared environment.

A clean and holistic hair experience

At KESH, you can enjoy a cup of coffee in our lounge, listen to a short relaxation exercise, or place your phone on airplane mode at one of our charging stations. After your hair wash, we offer a soothing scalp massage, and the entire experience is designed to give you a safe, nourishing, and sustainable pause from everyday life.

Here, you are at the centre — from beginning to end.
