Go Green with your Hair Salon

This post is a part of the Greener Assets “Go Green with your Small Business” series. You can see ways to go green with other types of small business here.

Do you run a Hair Salon?

Whether you cater to women, run a old-fashioned style barber shop for men, or have a hair salon that serves both sexes, the environment is important.

Hair Salon Go-Green Tips:

• Use organic shampoos, conditioners, and other hair care products. There are tons of options available – all you have to so is look for them. Test them out for yourself, and then also make them available for your customers to purchase. Here are some you could consider:
  • Terressentials: http://www.terressentials.com/haircare.html
  • Miessence Body Care: http://www.inspiredliving.com/organic
  • Giovanni Organic Hair Care: http://www.vitacost.com/giovanni.html
  • John Masters: http://www.johnmasters.com/haircare.htm
  • Lamas Beauty: http://www.lamasbeauty.com/
• Do you offer make-up and nail care services? Offer organic make-up as well! Here are some of the best in make-up and nail products:
  • Saffron Rouge: http://www.saffronrouge.com/site/home.htm
  • Lavera & Lavere: http://www.lavera.com/
  • Skin Botanica: http://skinbotanica.com/
  • Sun Coat Products: http://www.suncoatproducts.com/
  • Honeybee Gardens: http://www.honeybeegardens.com/
• Go green with environmentally-friendly salon furniture. There are some great choices out there – and one of the best I’ve found is the Design X Eco Series. You can check out the options with the recycled furniture on this website.
