Dangerous Toxins In Your Salon

There is a very simple principle known as “Toxins In, Toxins Out” That this video does such a fantastic job of simply demonstrating to us.  While this video relates specifically to chemicals in cosmetics, the implications for professional salon products are even more profound.  After watching it, please give us a call and talk to us about improving the health, safety, and wellness of your salon.

We have always been concerned about the toxins and dangerous chemicals in professional salon products but we are increasingly becoming concerned about the continual lack of awareness among salon professionals.  As noted in a previous post regarding the apparent false advertising and labeling of L’Oreal’s Inoa hair color line, we are very concerned about that “Big Beauty” companies are perpetuating this problem by Greenwashing their products to take advantage of otherwise well intentioned professionals.
