Green Circle Salon Certified

Our boutique hair salon is excited to be a member of Green Circle Salons, the beauty industry's movement to keep people and the planet beautiful.

What does this mean?  To be a Green Circle Certified Salon, 85-95% of our salon waste must be recycled and/or re-purposed, and kept out of landfills and waterways.

Being green is important, and a crucial step toward preserving our planet for future generations. The more salons that join this movement, the better.

Green your Salon

Salons produce waste that is often difficult to manage and contaminated with bleach, hair color, and other chemicals. A majority of salons have high energy usage,  tremendous water consumption, and get rid of any chemical by-product by rinsing it down the drain. We properly separate materials for collection into designated bins. Some of the materials we separate to send to the Green Circle Salons organization include hair, used foils, color tubes, aerosols, gloves, excess hair color and lightener, wax strips, glass, plastics, cardboard and paper, electronics, batteries, and light bulbs. 

Hair on a mission

Green Circle manufactures "hair booms" for the purposes of oil spill cleanup. Human hair holds the same adsorbent properties as an animal’s fur or feathers and proves to be extremely effective at removing oil from water. The Green Circle Salons organization collects waste materials from salons and donates booms to any party in the event of an oil spill.

Green Circle Salons’ head office is in Toronto, Ontario. Their operations span their warehouses in Seattle, Vancouver BC, Calgary, Montreal, and Chicago. From these facilities they serve every zip code and postal code in Canada and the USA.
