While I was working for a conventional hair salon, I began to notice that my hands were extremely dry and cracked, and a burning sensation was developing.

My nose was beginning to run at this time too.

All of these sensations I was experiencing, I believe to be a direct cause of daily chemical exposure due to working in traditional hair salons.

 

The chemical 'ammonia' is one of the worst offenders, and is in all conventional unnatural hair dyes. Its purpose is to bust through the hair cuticle to deposit colour.

While effective, the repercussions of the usage of this chemical are nose, throat and upper respiratory tract issues. 

​

I wanted to create a safe work space for myself and my employees, as well as a healthy organic salon for all of you, our customers.

I am a father and husband and want to advocate for a more sustainable future without the use of so many dangerous chemicals.
