Our Mission
Dogobees is situated in the heart of York, overlooking the historic city walls. The iconic York Minster, York Art Gallery, and Yorkshire Museum set in the vibrant Museum Gardens are all just a short stroll away. With our large windows flooding the salon with beautiful, natural light, it’s the perfect spot to relax and watch the world go by.
What makes us different?
Many years ago I dared to dream of a salon where I could feel like myself, a place where creativity could flow without causing damage to our beautiful, natural world. It started very simple, an idea of a safe space that’s cosy, welcoming and filled with stylists that are kind, supportive and care about preserving the planet.
In previous years, the idea of hair colours and products without harsh chemicals, that weren’t tested on animals seemed like something I could only hope for. But the industry is changing, and proving that you can create incredible hair without damaging the planet. The amazing brands we’ve chosen to work with do everything I dreamt of and more. O&M, Insight and Oway have made it so easy to offer the very best quality haircare, not only in salon but at home too. With sustainable amber glass packaging, organic ingredients, no nasty chemicals, certified cruelty-free, and fully vegan – it’s a combination that is music to our ears, and I’m sure it will be to yours too.
Why stop there?
As York’s only eco salon, we didn’t stop there – we couldn’t. We found the best suppliers that align with our ethos perfectly. We use Scrummi compostable towels at the backwash, Ecoheads to filter our water and allow high pressure with less water usage, and work with Green Salon Collective and St Nicks to recycle hair, foil, plastics, cardboard, metal colour tubes, and PPE. Our energy comes from a green energy company, and we are paperless where we can be, choosing a book exchange and colouring books instead of glossy magazines. The list goes on…
Inclusive Appointments
Dogobees is on a journey to become a fully inclusive salon. No matter your hair type, how your brain works, your gender identity, or where you are from – we are committed to making you feel welcomed and comfortable, and nothing will stop us from doing our best to make you leave feeling amazing. We proudly offer silent appointments for anyone that wants to take time out of their hectic lives to just sit, soak up the environment and reset. If you’re neurodivergent or have any additional needs and feel you would benefit from seeing the salon and meeting your stylist first, you are welcome to book a consultation. Pop in for a cuppa and a casual chat so you can familiarise yourself with the space, and know what to expect during your appointment. Where possible, we are also happy to offer appointments on quieter days or times.
You are already an incredible person- you can truly be you in Dogobees
