In 2024 I went from a solo suite owner to being a salon owner. As a first-born, type A, who cares for people and our planet, I knew Verdant Salon would be a Certified Green Circle Salon and partner with Innersense. (Check out this podcast episode to hear my whole story.)

But what exactly does that look like for the guests at Verdant?

With our recycling program it means:

1. The hair you cut off gets made into oil booms for the ocean that don’t affect the fish or coral.

2. Wax sticks? Used in a waste-to-energy process for renewable energy.

3. Foils from color services? Sorted by grade and made into parts for cars and bikes.

4. AND SO MUCH MORE! (You can learn more about being a Green Circle Salon by checking out my Highlight on my Instagram @graceschair15.)

As for Innersense… I started working with them in 2022. So many lines claim to be “clean” and they just aren’t. They offer so much more for the client and the professional.

1. Quality Ingredients - preserving purity & potency with minimal processing

2. Conscious Transparency - what is in their products & why (or why they don’t use something)

3. Affiliate links for easy access to support your professional, no matter where you live

4. Education in-person and online

5. Online support & excellent customer service

6. Products for all hair types and textures

7. No silicones, parabens, or carcinogens, or synthetic fragrances! This is so important for professionals because we work with these products all day.

Innersense is also:

1. B-Corp Certified Company,

2. Plastic Neutral

3. Gives 1% to the planet

4. Carbon Neutral - just to name a few!

I created Verdant Salon & Suites as a place for business owners and clients to participate in becoming a more beautifully authentic person and confident community member. If you’re interested in learning more, click below.
