About Us
Welcome all, SaraT here, please enjoy your time with me and have fun
perusing the I Run With Scissors the Salon web page.
Beliefs: To help clients look good and feel good, while being kind to the
environment.
Vision: To upgrade the salon and beauty industry by continuously
learning and sharing knowledge with everyone who sits in
our chairs.
When I first considered opening the salon I envisioned a space where the
wonderful and creative community of Lane County would feel comfortable and
welcome.
I am able to bring that concept into the salon with:
- Local artist showing and selling their work.
- A wonderful community bulletin board that offers other local merchants
and business people a chance to advertise and share their services. I
have included a Local Business page on this web site.
- Hand Crafted Gift Items from local independent tradesmen.
- A place that clients and friends can relax, enjoy a cup of tea or rehydrate
with water. After 5pm appointments can relax with a glass of wine from
one of the local vineyards.
- An open one on one environment where you can verbally de-stress from
your busy schedule, or look at magazines and have a quite moment just
for you. (All magazines are recycled or donated to local school's art
classes.)
- I donate to community organizations and offer my salon and time to local
non-profit programs in the Lane County Area. (see in the community)
- We are always accepting donations to Food For Lane County, Help fill up
the barrel located in the salon.
Environment Friendly Policy: At I Run With Scissors we hope to inspire our
clients to think about Sustainable Beauty. By taking time to reduce the energy
use, reuse paper and plastic products as much as we can and recycle
everything from boxes to bottles, I Run With Scissors is looking towards a
greener future. A large part of living sustainable deals with the relationships
people and businesses build between each other, and how these
relationships are cultivated and strengthen. Because we value our clients, we
want to share our salon's eco-activities with you and love when you share
your eco-activities with us. We can become a source of inspiration for both
beauty and sustainable business practise in each other.
- Reduce the salon's eco-footprint.
- The salon's climate control is monitored daily. Reduce energy by
monitoring the climate control. We turn down the thermostat just 4
degrees in the winter and rarely use the air conditioner in the summer
to prevent the emission of nearly 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide
annually. We will always adjust the heat or air for our clients just ask!
- We recycle everything in the salon from glass, plastic, paper and
cardboard to our foil we use in weaving hair. We also have gardeners
that will occasionally pick up hair clippings, used tea bags and coffee
grounds for gardens and compost around the area. (If you are a
gardener and interested in adding hair to your compost let me know.)
- Precyle; reduce waste before we buy. We consider packaging that
comes with the product as one of the factors in determining choice.
- Many of the items we retail use post consumer recycled materials in
manufacturing and packaging, and can be recycled. To help bring
recycling full circle in the salon.
- We use energy star rated lighting in the salon, where possible. CFLs
(compact fluorescent lights) last 10 times longer and use 66% less
energy than incandescent bulbs while delivering the same light levels.
CFLs also reduce the release of greenhouse gas emissions. We also try
to turn off lights in the salon when they are not needed.
- We offer products that are not tested on animals.
- We now carry a wonderful line of Eco-Friendly Bamboo Brushes.
- Our laundry is done using Biokleen laundry detergent, and we use eco-
friendly cleaning products whenever possible. In some cases strong
cleaning chemicals are used for sanitation practices in accordance with
Oregon Health Licensing Rules and Regulations.
- We use green paper products, including toilet paper and paper towels.
- We offer an ammonia free line of hair color.
- We use and diffuse Essential Oils in the salon.
- I am using a low wattage palette on this web site; a monitor uses 74
watts to display an all white web page with a low wattage palette we are
using 63 or less watts.
- We use Organics 100% organic cotton grown without toxic pesticides,
fertilizers or irradiation, in our services.
I have been licensed and practicing hair in Eugene since 1997, I opened I Run

I am currently changing over product lines

occasionally be out of something, until I
can find a product that will meet my
standards.
