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.
- Hand Crafted Gift Items from local independent tradesmen.
- A place where 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 FFLC 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 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 work with Matters of Trust 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. 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.
- We us eco-foil, precycled and recyclable foil for our color services.
- We have Eco Designs Eco Friendly Shampoo capes. They are the Biodegradable alternative to vinyl, non toxic, made of 100%
EVA. EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) is an alternative to PVC. Traditional PVC is chlorinated and is a source of many of the
environmental heath concerns with PVC such as the emission of dioxin (a highly carcinogenic chemical).
I have been licensed and practicing hair in Eugene since 1997, I opened I Run With Scissors The Salon, in 2002 and moved
to the current 570 Lawrence Ste 112, Eugene location in April of 2005. We have been a growing and thriving member of the
community since. You may have seen the name before in our advertising with "Eugene Weekly" or heard our radio
advertisement on 102.3 The Star.
