OUR ECO MISSION

We are Chicago’s first “zero impact” hair salon

 

committed to caring for the environment as well as the health and safety of our guests & salon team

We minimize our carbon footprint by making conscientious choices whenever possible, and continue to evaluate and evolve our eco efforts as we grow.

Here’s what we do to minimize our carbon footprint:

  • Proper disposal of hair color & chemical waste, helping to minimize water and land contamination

  • Proper recycling for all recyclable materials, including difficult to recycle items such as hair color foils, aerosol cans, hair color tubes, various styrofoams, a wide variety of plastics, etc.

  • Waste to energy programs used for single use (non recyclable) items such as saran wrap, cotton, waxing supplies, PPE materials, etc.

  • Your hair clippings are used to clean up oil spills or create new “plastic” bins.

  • Compost service used for food waste & other plant based materials

  • Installed water displacement devices in bathrooms to save water with each flush

  • Installed energy efficient appliances and lighting

  • Only use highest % PCW / recycled paper products

  • Make effort to minimize paper usage whenever possible

  • Printing done through eco conscious printer (vegetable based inks, 100% recycled paper)

  • Invest in clean energy electric source

  • Low/No VOC paint throughout the salon

  • We only partner with haircare companies who also have strong eco missions

    WE OFFSET OUR REMAINING CARBON FOOT PRINT ANNUALLY BY INVESTING IN CARBON NEUTRALIZING PROGRAMS THROUGH TERRAPASS
