Green Circle Salons serves the North American salon industry by providing a pathway to sustainability. Our community of Member Salons is devoted to reducing the environmental footprint of the beauty industry, while reaching new green-minded consumers. We believe that the salon industry can play a crucial role in shaping more sustainable communities. We keep people AND the planet looking beautiful! Salons produce difficult-to-manage waste often contaminated with bleach, hair color, and other chemicals. A typical salon has high water consumption, high energy usage, and releases chemical by-product down the drain. At the same time many salons strive to be eco-friendly wherever possible, to attract green-minded clients and reduce their footprint.
We provide an affordable pathway for salons and spas to help reduce their eco-footprint. Since 2009, we have recycled or repurposed 2.1 million pounds of salon waste! Our end goal is to make the North American salon industry fully sustainable by 2020!
