Making It Earth Day Every Day

With the growing interest in going green, we've been steadily making efforts to make our salon as Earth friendly as possible. Also, with Earth Day right around the corner on the 22nd we'd like to let you know what we're doing to make our planet a beautiful place to live.

In an effort to save paper, you may have noticed that we have laminated "New Client Forms". This, coupled with wet erase markers has drastically reduced our paper use. We are looking to implement a new system that will allow us to do the same with our "work tickets". We have also had talks about ways to reduce our use of trash liners, purchasing greener light fixtures and will soon be making efforts to recycle our foils and even donate hair clippings to help clean up oil spills.


If you've visited the salon lately, you'll notice that our display in Well Being Space has changed to a beautiful display arranged by Trish. She reused a couple of Davines Essential bottles and filled them with an assortment of edible goodies to showcase the bottles ability to safely store food. The Essentials bottles are made used food grade plastic, therefore once they've been emptied and washed they are perfect for throwing in your lunch bag for work or using around the kitchen to store various food items. Also, you are more than welcome to refill your Essentials shampoo and conditioner containers at the salon instead of buying an entirely new one and we will give you the gift of $5 off the price it would cost you to buy a new bottle. We also, end up with a lot of our back bar and liter bottles stacking up in our back room. We've moved to using them for things around the salon and would like to offer you the opportunity to have some for yourself, free of cost. We've got a few left over so if you would like them, feel free to come by and pick them up!!

A lot of companies are making the effort to supply cloth shopping bags with the incentive that it will help save the earth by reducing the use of paper or plastic bags. Well, we now have cloth bags that we are simply adorable and come with an added incentive of 10% off your future product purchases. There are two ways for you to receive this bag. You can either purchase the bag for $5 or if you spend $50 on product, you receive the bag as our gift to you. From then on, anytime you bring the bag back with you, we will give you 10% off your product purchases for helping us be as green as possible.

Now, with all the efforts we're making to green up the salon it would only seem right to help celebrate Earth Day with a deal on your color service. As you know, we can end up going through a lot of foils in one day. In an effort to reduce the use of foils, we would like to offer you the gift of 10% off a bolayage service booked on Earth Day, April 22nd. This is a European hand painted highlight technique that uses no foils at all. This is a fantastic promotion that not only helps our green efforts but will also be a fantastic way to lighten up your hair for the coming warmer season!!

Just a reminder, the "Relief and Relaxation" promo is good through tomorrow the 17th so call and book your service with complimentary scalp massage and your gift of 15% off a service!!

Also, stay tuned for the announcement of our Mother's Day promotion!!
