ABOUT US
We believe that business and beauty should be sustainable.
We choose to not stock our shelves with large amounts of retail and single use plastics that impacts the environment and adds pressure to the business and team to meet sales goals. Instead we choose to have refillable options and a small conscientious choice of essential haircare that our team loves.
Charging by time and not by the service allows for a predictable income for your stylist and a predictable and transparent cost for our client.
The Eco Difference
We are partnered with Green Circle Salons to dispose of 95% of salon waste. Your hair soaks up oil spills, or is turned into plastics. Your foil is turned into bicycles and your unused hair colour is added into asphalt.
Green Circle Salon
When you choose to refill your shampoo, conditioner and other products you can feel good that every small bit helps.
Sustainable Solutions
We are Active members of VANCOUVER ISLAND GREEN COLLECTIVE and an ocean friendly business.
Eco-Friendly Always
