As I was getting my usual lame haircut today, I started daydreaming a bit. I always like to take a nap while I’m in the chair…and I couldn’t stop thinking about why this hair salon isn’t composting. I mean really, what waste do they generate? Paper receipts, and a lot of hair.
I decided to do a quick search and see how many hair salons came up that mentioned composting…only a few. If you live in the Santa Cruz area, check out Oasis Salon, the first green certified salon: http://www.oasishairandskin.com/
They have a great video that talks about what it takes to green your salon, and shows how much money you can save while reducing your waste to near zero. Any hair stylists out there? Go for it! Need any help on the composting part of it? Let me know.
