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:
- A place where clients and friends can relax, enjoy a cup of tea, coffee or
rehydrate with water. - A great team of stylists.
- Locally made items that you can purchase, great for gifts.
- 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 art classes.) - We donate to local community non-profit programs in Lane County by offering
salon services, gift certificates for auctions and space in the salon for
advertising. (see in the community) - We are always accepting donations to Food For Lane County, help fill up the
FFLC barrel located in the salon. - We retail EVO hair products in the salon, evohairproducts.com.

- We recycle everything in the salon from glass, plastic, paper and cardboard. We also have gardeners that will
occasionally pick up hair clippings, used tea bags for gardens and compost around the area, or I may bring these
things home for my own compost. (If you are a gardener and interested in adding hair to your compost let me know.) - We have worked with Matters of Trust, when they are accepting hair, and donate all our hair clippings for the purpose
of making hair mats that are used to clean up oil spills. Not only are reducing what we are putting into the landfill by
eliminating the disposal of hair we are also putting that waste to use and cleaning up the environment. A great big
shout out and thank you to Matters of Trust for their brilliant resourcefulness. - Precyle; reduce waste before we buy. We consider packaging that comes with the product as one of the factors in
determining choice in what we retail in the salon. - 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. We also try to turn off lights in the salon when they are
not needed. - We offer/use products that are not tested on animals.
