Eco-friendly hair salon opens
Dec. 31, 2008
SCOTTSDALE - Maggie Fink and Jessica Westlake have opened an organic hair salon at Optima Camelview Village.
Green With Envy, located at 7151 E. Rancho Vista Drive, Suite 107, has been built from the ground up using environmentally conscious materials and techniques, from the soy-based concrete stain on the floors to the recycled fixtures, low-flow toilets and LEED-certified building.
Fink has even found a way to recycle hair clippings.
She sends them to the non-profit Matter of Trust, which uses the hair to make mats to clean up oil spills.
The salon will be a clean-air one, too, meaning no harsh chemical treatments, and the use of a non-toxic color line with lower amounts of ingredients such as ammonia and hydrogen peroxide.
