Sustainably Styled: Stella's Journey to a Greener Future

Alyse FloresJan. 28, 2025

Did you know the hair industry is the third largest contributor to landfill waste each year? Yeah, it's true! That’s why we’ve teamed up with Green Circle Salons to recover up to 95% of our salon’s waste— helping us leave a lighter footprint on the planet. Small change, BIG difference.

So, where does all of our waste go? Let’s break it down:

Hair Clippings:  Getting a haircut? Your hair just might be getting a second life! It’s recycled into biodegradable plastic, which is used to make everything from combs to recycling bins.

Excess Color:  No need to worry about leftover color— we’ve got it covered! It’s separated into water and oil, with the water being cleaned and safely returned to the system, while the oil gets a second job as fuel. Waste turned into power!

Paper:  Cardboard and paper don’t just get tossed. Instead, they’re repurposed into new products like napkins and tissues— turning waste into everyday essentials.

Plastic:  Plastic bottles don't just disappear! They’re collected, cleaned and transformed into brand new products— like shampoo and color bottles—because plastic deserves a second life, not a landfill.

Metal: The foils that help your blonde blonde? They’re melted down and reshaped into aluminum bars and sheets, which go on to make car parts and bicycles.

By making these small, sustainable changes, we’re doing our part to make a big difference. Together, we’re proving that even the smallest actions can create a lasting impact on the planet. Thanks for being a part of our greener future— one snip at a time! ♻️
