FAQ

Why Choose an Organic Hair Salon?

There are numerous reasons to choose an organic hairdresser, all of which can be summarized by their gentle approach towards both individuals and the environment. Allergic reactions to permanent hair dyes are a common issue affecting both consumers and hairdressers who handle these dyes. The culprit behind such reactions are the highly allergenic substances known as paraphenylenediamine (PPD) and 2,5-toluenediamine (2,5-TDA), which are present in conventional hair dyes.

To avoid allergic reactions and scalp sensitivity caused by hypersensitivity to these allergenic substances, visiting an organic hairdresser is a wise choice. These professionals utilize natural products that are free from harmful chemicals. Surprisingly, many are unaware that organic treatments can achieve the same results as traditional methods, including lightening the hair. The only difference lies in the approach and products used.

What Is a ‘Certified Green Salon’?

A "Green Salon" certification is granted to hair salons that fulfill specific criteria. One of the requirements is that all hairdressers in the salon must receive theoretical training in organic hair care and refrain from using certain hazardous chemicals. Additionally, the salon must adhere to guidelines concerning waste management while demonstrating a conscious effort to conserve energy and water. For detailed information about the specific criteria that must be met, you can visit the website of Green Salon.
