Sustainable Beauty

As we become more and more aware of how our daily lives impact our environment, the more creative and wonderful ways we are finding to "help leave the Earth a more beautiful place than how we found it". With the growth of our awareness comes the need to take what was once Sustainable Beauty Week and turn it into a month of celebrating the many ways we work hard to sustain our existence.

Thanks to Davines, just by using product created with intent to be Sustainably Beautiful we are already making a positive impact on the environment. Davines is partnered with organizations such as Slow Food, LifeGate (making multiple lines "zero impact", the FSC and many more making daily cleansing, conditioning and styling a way of making a positive impact on our world.

One of the newest partnerships that I'm excited about is the work Davines is doing with Green Circle Salons of Ontario, Canada. I'm pretty pumped about what this company does because they are giving us salon owners and workers an opportunity to make a significantly less impact on the environment. Green Circle Salons lessens our impact by 95% and I'm very excited to announce that Indigo will now be a part of this movement. Green Circle Salons allows me to safely dispose of and recycle materials that conventional recylcling will not allow. From being able to properly dispose of chemicals, recycle color tubes, foils, mannequinn heads, old salon equipment hair, and so much more. Indigo will be able to say that we are doing the most we can to leave as little impact on the world as possible!!

The biggest differences in the salon you may not notice. The recycling and disposal bins will be hanging out in the back room and most of the work will come with just throwing stuff in a different receptacle. You may notice that I have decorated my salon door and mirror with some new stickers and have dropped some signage celebrating the work we're doing together to be more sustainable. The most noticeable change you may experience is an additional $1.50 charge on your bill after we've completed your service which will go toward the shipping and processing of the waste and recyclable materials that come from completing your services.\

So, in conjunction with Sustainable Beauty Month, we will also be moving forward with doing our best to make a positive impact by actively participating in being a Green Circle Salon!!!!

YAY!!!!
