Get Glam While Being Green
It’s no secret that aerosol hairspray, hair color and other chemically-rich beauty products aren’t exactly Mother Nature’s BFF. With all the glamming-up us girls have done over the years with these not-so-eco-friendly products, we’re bound to have done some damage. While we can’t undo our past indiscretions of toxic scrunching and spraying, we can vow to put down our caution-marked canisters and instead pickup earth-conscious spritzes and sprays. Thankfully for us environmentally-clueless beautistas, there are several valley salons paving the way in the green-beauty crusade.
Boosting green is the new blonde, Green with Envy is a 100 percent nontoxic, clean-air salon offering hazard-free beauty products. From their color line, building design and operation habits, Green with Envy is head to toe eco-friendly.
Built by an LEED certified architect, Green with Envy features recycled denim insulation, soy-based concrete sealer, no VOC paint, dual-flush toilets, a recycling tank-less water heater, a sign and front desk made of earth-conscious materials, recycled and reused fixtures as well as hybrid computers. Green with Envy is also the first valley salon to use the nontoxic color line EcoColors as well as carry and use only organic products. Green with Envy also donates hair clippings to a nonprofit organization that uses them to create mats used to cleanup oil spills.
Green with Envy’s list of service includes cut, color, style, highlight and updo with prices ranging from $30 to $150. Green with Envy also offers organic scalp and deep conditioning treatments for $25 as well as brow and lip waxes for $15.
Green with Envy is located in Scottsdale inside the Optima Camelview Village between Scottsdale Rd. and Highland Ave. at 7147 E. Rancho Vista Drive, #107. To book your appointment at Green with Envy, call 480.553.7235.
