Unlocking Sustainability: Locke’s Journey to an Eco-Friendly Hair Salon in St. Louis
In the heart of St. Louis, Missouri, Locke Hair has set its sights on a lofty goal – to be more than just a salon. We want to be a catalyst for change, a leader in the journey toward a more sustainable and eco-friendly beauty industry. Our commitment to eco-conscious practices goes beyond the aesthetics of hair and beauty, and here’s how we’re making a difference in our beloved city:
1. Partnering with SalonCycle: Recycling with a Purpose
Locke has proudly partnered with SalonCycle to turn what was once waste into a valuable resource. This innovative recycling program helps us minimize our environmental footprint. We recycle hair, foils, color tubes, caps, unused color and bleach, gloves, and various other salon waste. This commitment to waste reduction extends our salon’s life cycle far beyond the ordinary, making every cut, color, and style transformation eco-friendly.
2. Aveda: Leading the Way in Sustainable Color
Aveda color products are more than just a choice; they are a statement. We believe in supporting brands that are committed to environmental responsibility. Aveda’s color line is vegan, cruelty-free, and derived from 95% natural ingredients. By embracing these products, we ensure that the vibrant beauty we create is harmonious with our planet’s well-being.
3. Environmentally Friendly Styling Products
We’ve chosen our styling products with sustainability in mind. Brands like Hairstory, Cult + King, Barb, Kevin Murphy, and Reverie not only keep your hair looking its best but also respect the environment. These products are carefully selected to ensure that our styling routines are in sync with our eco-conscious ethos.
4. Sipping Sustainably: Coffee Pods from Living Millenially
At Locke, we understand that even small choices can make a big impact. That’s why we use biodegradable coffee pods from a local coffee shop, Living Millenially. It’s our way of saying that every aspect of our salon, down to the coffee we brew, contributes to a cleaner, greener future.
5. Constantly Seeking Improvement
We’re not content with the status quo. Our journey towards eco-friendliness is ongoing. Locke continually explores new ways to minimize our carbon footprint, reduce waste, and adopt sustainable practices. We’re driven by the belief that every action counts in preserving the environment for future generations.
In a world where the environmental stakes have never been higher, Locke Hair stands at the forefront, proving that sustainability is not just a buzzword, but a way of life. With every cut and color, we are unlocking a greener, more beautiful future for our clients and our beloved city, St. Louis. As we move forward, we invite you to join us on this incredible journey. Together, we can all make a difference, one lock of hair at a time.
