While there has been an increase in interest in sustainability and clean beauty in recent years, it may be difficult to tell which salons and companies are genuinely doing what they teach.

Finding a salon that is both environmentally aware and employs environmentally friendly products is not an easy task. Fortunately, there are groups who are actively attempting to simplify this procedure on a regular basis. Introducing: Chatters' Style Consciously project is a collection of hair and body care products that have been thoroughly verified and are clean, cruelty-free, vegan, and environmentally friendly. This collection of products, which includes everything from masks and serums to shampoos and treatments, will help you save time by eliminating the need to investigate a large list of components and manufacturing procedures. Instead, you may browse through their options with confidence, knowing that each product checks off all of your boxes before purchasing it.

In addition to using environmentally friendly products, there are a variety of other aspects that may be considered when determining if a salon's operations are healthy and environmentally responsible. Here are a few significant clues trap the cat that your favorite salon is environmentally conscious, ranging from trash disposal methods to sustainable certifications.

Cosmetics that are free of toxins

A head massage at your salon's shampoo station is one of the most peaceful experiences you can have, and it's even more enjoyable when you know the materials they're using are safe for you and the environment.

The terms "clean" and "sustainable" are swiftly gaining popularity in the beauty industry, but finding hair care products that are both environmentally friendly and effective is not always a simple challenge to do. It is critical that a salon takes this into mind and makes the procedure as simple as possible for its clientele.

A large variety of clean, vegan, cruelty-free, and sustainable solutions are available in-store and online at Chatters, allowing consumers to make thoughtful decisions with the help of the company.

Programs for recycling

Although in-store recycling programs are not a new idea, they are a fantastic sign of a salon that is concerned about the environment. Customers' empty shampoo and/or conditioner bottles are being collected by several Chatters salons in partnership with Biolage and Green Circle Salons, with clients receiving a 20% discount on their Biolage purchase. In our opinion, inviting the community to participate in these activities is a win-win situation.

Plan for waste management
There is nothing more environmentally aware than transparent trash management. Given that the beauty industry generates 877 pounds of trash each minute, how a salon manages waste is important to consider – particularly given that 63,000 pounds of hair is thrown away every day. When a customer walks out the door with a brand new hairstyle, salons have a lot of garbage to dispose of. From residual foils to extra toner, there is a lot of waste. Knowing where this garbage goes and what happens to it makes a huge difference in how it is handled.
