I grew up in the 70's in one of those families that eat lentils, grew sprouts, made our own clothes and listened to Bob Dylan. It is ingrained to focus on shrinking my ecological footprint.
We are proudly making efforts every day with a healthy planet and a happy staff in mind.

Did you know?
80% of fresh flowers in Vancouver have been shipped from South America. Shipping internationally requires container systems that are both temperature controlled and rigid to control flower damage. It just doesn't make any sense for this much waste to happen for a flower that lasts a week!
We have phased out fresh flowers and now use more sustainable ways to beautify!
Just say No to new paper!
We are 100% free of new AND recycled paper. All of our communications are done electronically and our daily schedules are printed on reused paper donated to us through a local government office. Even our in-salon messages and reception note paper is all on re-used paper. (not recycled but re-used… even better!)
Recycling
We are proudly recycling over 80% of our daily garbage including all foil used for highlighting. Salon and personal Items that we don't need anymore are donated to the local woman's shelter. I am committed to finding ways of getting our re-use/recycling closer to 100%.
Just say No to bottled water!
We discourage the use of bottled water. We instead use WA2 for filtered water for clients and staff. WA2 does not truck huge amounts of water all over the city but rather installs an amazing filtering system to the space. Both the concept and company I feel have exceptional eco-solutions.
Just say No to coffee pods!
First of all, we have the best coffee. It's seriously good :) We use a machine that grinds the beans a second before making the coffee, Yum!! We’re proud to not use systems that produce regular garbage such as pods or paper filters.
Electricity
We use only cold water when washing.
