Why Eco Friendly Salons Are Better for Everyone
You care about the environment. You recycle. You bring reusable bags to the grocery store. You conserve water at home. But have you thought about your salon? The beauty industry produces a huge amount of waste, and most of it never gets a second life.
Eco friendly salons do things differently. They reduce waste, choose organic products and make sustainability part of every appointment. They protect the planet while they take care of your hair.
The Hidden Waste in Conventional Salons
Think about everything a single color appointment uses. Foils. Color tubes. Leftover color. Plastic bottles. Hair clippings. In most salons, all of it goes into the trash and on to the landfill. Leftover chemicals are rinsed down the drain.
What an Eco Friendly Salon Does
Holistic Hair Studio is a certified Green Circle Salon. Through Green Circle we recover up to 95 percent of our beauty waste. Hair clippings are collected and repurposed, including into mats used to help clean up oil spills. Foils and color tubes are recycled. Leftover color is collected so it does not go down the drain. Read more about sustainable salon practices and how we put them into action.
We also run Alexandria's first salon refill bar for OWAY products. Bring your empty OWAY shampoo, conditioner or treatment bottles back to the studio and we will refill them, so fewer bottles are made and thrown away.
Better for Your Health Too
Eco friendly salons are healthier places for clients and stylists alike. We use OWAY organic hair care and O&M low-tox, ammonia free color. That means fewer harsh fumes in the room and fewer harsh chemicals on your scalp. Read why Holistic Hair Studio chooses OWAY for our care and styling.
Made for the Alexandria Community
Alexandria is a thoughtful, health conscious community. Our clients in Old Town, Del Ray and beyond read labels, shop at farmers markets and support local businesses that share their values. Choosing an eco friendly salon is one more simple way to live those values. Every haircut becomes part of something bigger. Discover why your haircut can help heal the planet.
