OUR STORY
We are a family owned and operated certified Green hair salon business.
We have been serving our community for the last 28 years at the same location. Around 2005 our collective health started declining with variety of challenging ailments. Having gone through cancer with my husband, I became increasingly aware of all the chemicals we are bombarded with especially in the beauty industry, which is chemically driven. Some of these chemicals used are recognized by the state of California to be carcinogenic, mutagenic and neurotoxins yet they are still in our personal care products.
After much research I was called to create a green space in which stylists and chemically sensitive clients can receive services in a clean and green environment using only non toxic products. In year 2005 that vision became a reality and our salon was born! A couple of years into our business, our salon became the first salon to receive a green certification from the city of Los Angeles Green Business program and two years later, we received a Climate leader award, which I believe we are still the only salon to have received this prestigious award.
Becoming a green and sustainable salon business not only has saved us from various ailments but also have been a successful business model in every way.
What is a “Green” Hair Salon?
Non toxic, energy efficient, recycled, all natural and sustainable products
Our walls are painted with a zero VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) paint. Floors are covered with the natural linoleum made from linseed oil with jute baking, our light bulbs are LED lighting, insulation made with recycled denim, Dry walls are non toxic, sustainable building materials, non-toxic and biodegradable hair care products which in most cases they are 95% USDA organic hair care products.
Our brochure and business cards are printed with soy ink on 100% post consumer recycled paper. All office supplies are recycled materials. We have Energy Star heating and air conditioning unit and we open a second door for ventilation.
For over a decade since we have been a green hair salon, we have saved money, gained new clients and have reaped all the benefits of being a salon that is doing our share towards our climate crisis and toxic environment.
