Giving back

On Sunday, July 12, 2009 our salon hosted a Locks of Love Cut-a-thon.  We were able to collect 292 inches of donated hair.  That is over 24 FEET!!  Our participants were great and we had a terrific time doing their transformations.  Thanks also to Joe Digregorio of Riverside.   He isn’t just a talented artist/photographer, he is a “Cancer Conqueror” himself.  He has battled the disease two times and has won.  He took all of our before and after photos.  Thank you, to all that participated!

Greener Environment

Little things can make a big difference and we can all take steps everyday to help our environment.  Small, constant actions can lead to big changes in our environment.  Below are some examples of how we are doing our part.

We turn off lights at night, unplug appliances when not in use and launder only full loads of towels.

Our ventilation system has allergen reducing filters to help reduce air pollutants and help us breathe easier.

Our water heater has an energy saving feature to provide instant-on benefits and is off when not in use.

We use reusable gloves whenever possible.

We give away boxes that we receive shipments in so that they can be re purposed, instead of just throwing them away.

Measuring only as much hair color as we need so that we aren’t washing unnecessary product down the drain.

We serve filtered, chilled water to our clients instead of bottled water to minimize our impact on land fills.  

We turn off the water when we are washing a clients hair  so we do not use more water than is necessary.
