Kavella will now cover half or all of an initial membership into Green Circle Salons through our Rewards Program. Read on to learn more about what it means to be Green Circle Certified!

The Problem

Today 421,000 lbs. of salon waste is deposited into landfills daily. That’s 877 pounds per minute. Today, salons cannot recycle hair clippings, over-mixed chemicals, contaminated foils, empty tubes, canisters, mannequin heads and aerosols with local waste management.

The Solution


If you’re not recycling aerosols, tubes, contaminated foil, over-mixed hair color/lightener and hair clippings in your salon, Green Circle Salons’ program can help the salon reduce its carbon footprint. When you enroll, Green Circle Salons’ unique program helps the business to generate revenue, reduce operational costs and recycle up to 95% of your salon waste. Included with service: collection bins and supplies, marketing kit, staff training and UPS pickups on demand.

The Formula

Be Green

Green Circle Salons offers a comprehensive recycling and repurposing program that ensures hair, foils, color tubes, plastics, papers, and excess hair color waste get diverted out of our landfills and waterways.

Build Revenue

This program is self-funded by the Environmental Stewardship Fee initiative paid by the guest (ex: $1 or $2) added to the ticket allowing salons to become more profitable. A small portion is returned to GCS and the salon retains the rest. Through this transaction, an average size salon can generate between $5,000 – $10,000 per year!

Save Money

In the face of an emerging green economy and a consumer demand for green products and services, GCS saves your salon time and money by offering a menu of approved, best in class green product and service suppliers. Salons can continue to reduce their environmental impact, increase operational efficiencies, enhance brand image, demonstrate leadership, and attract new clients.

Gain Clients

Green Circle Salons offers an online Green Salon Directory to showcase your salon’s green leadership and help you get found by green-minded consumers in your neighborhood. Additionally, GCS can help your salon leverage local media to get the get the word out that you are now a part of this exciting mission to Make Beauty Beautiful.
