We can only exist if the planet gets to exist
Everybody loves to look and feel good! The problem is that our beauty often comes at a tremendous expense to the planet. Our community of green-minded salons and spas provide you and your family with a very simple way to not only look and feel good, but to also do good-by reducing your environmental footprint. With every visit to your favourite salon or spa, you can be a part of a community that embraces positive green change and agrees that clean air, clean water, and clean soil are the cornerstones of healthy and vibrant communities. Oh, and if your salon or spa hasn't yet gotten their green on, tell us about it-if they join, you get $75.00!
The best solution involves everyone. Our pathway has a role for you, the consumer, as well as salon and spa owners and their employees. Everyone has to win, or we all lose. The planet wins when all of the contributors to our simple formula for change are working together to reduce each of their environmental footprints.
What does this mean for you and your family?
- We remove the guesswork! Through our directory, you can quickly and easily identify Toronto's green salon and spa leaders.
- Today, we all vote with our dollars. As responsible consumers, you can make the choice for change. Green Circle Salons empowers you with choices that support both environmental and social progress.
- Feel confident knowing that your salon or spa diverts, repurposes and/or recycles hair, foils, colour tubes, plastics and papers-therefore reducing the need for landfill space.
- You and your family can receive rewards and incentives for choosing green-minded salons and spas through our creative GCS passport campaign.
- GCS passport holders can have peace of mind knowing that Green Circle Salons has offset the carbon emissions produced when traveling to and from your favourite Green Circle salon or spa. We do this through Planetair, a Montreal based Gold Standard carbon offset organization.
- By supporting the salons and spas in the GCS community, you are contributing to local and international community development, as well as environmental research and innovation.
What exactly is a Green Circle Salon?!
Our salons and spas have agreed to ignite and support a green pathway for change that aims to maintain the environmental integrity of the communities that we all share. Over time, our community of salons and spas are committed to a pathway that includes some, if not all, of the following:
- Keep hair, foils and colour tubes out of landfill
- Choose 100% green electricity
- Reduce water consumption
- Select eco-friendly laundry services
- Support Gold Standard carbon offsets
- Select eco-friendly lighting systems
- Provide eco-friendly hair and skin products
The impact of every person...
Most importantly, it is the impact of every person, every time they participate in the salon or spa experience that gets added together. Just think-thousands of businesses, with hundreds of clients, each month having cuts, colouring and other services performed-when managed in a greener way-what this adds up to! It's big. It's really big!
