Go Green
As a new member of GLOBAL GREEN USA, I have included the following green initiatives in my salon:
Energy saving fluorescent bulbs
Recycle cardboard, paper, and plastic
Full loads, cold water only
Filtered water instead of bottled water
High efficiency faucets and toilets
Concentrated laundry detergent
Natural detergent and cleaning products
Recycled paper products
Hair Recycling:
In addition to cardboard, paper and plastic, one of the more interesting programs we have is our hair collection program for the use in making Oil Spill Hair Mats. Clean hair is collected after each hair cut and then mailed to a San Francisco company called Matter of Trust, Inc. that makes mats to help with oil spills. The hair mats soak up the oil from oil spills, they are collected and oil eating fungus, bacteria, worms are introduced. After a set amount of time the hair is safe to disposed but makes great compost.
