Changing the world through beauty.

we are an environmentally conscious salon

We have a partnership with Green Circle Salons to make your next visit to our salon a sustainable one!

421,206 lbs of daily waste are generated by North American salons.  Hair, metals and chemical residue cannot be treated by most municipalities.  Typically, this waste would end up in landfills.

Through our partnership with Green Circle Salons, we are redirecting what was once considered garbage out of our water streams and landfills to be repurposed into innovative green solutions.  All hair clippings, extensions, any excess color and developer, paper and plastics, foils, aerosol cans and color tubes from a.salon are collected by Green Circle Salons - effectively cutting down our salon’s waste by 85%-95%.

KEVIN MURPHY 

KEVIN.MURPHY maintains their commitment to the environmental issues that affect us. They create products with a conscience that do not harm to our environment by utilizing packaging that is recyclable or biodegradable.  Only sulphate free surfactants that effectively cleanse and remove surface oil and dirt, without stripping or depleting the hair of its color are used. They also use AHAs, or fruit acids, derived from Papaya, Citrus, and Sugar Cane that gently exfoliate the hair surface without drying or depleting the hair. Natural surfactants from the Soap Bark Tree, Quillaja, and other plant-derived sources create rich luxurious lathers that moisturize and nourish the hair, and all of our products are naturally sulphate and paraben free.
