Lorraine's House of Styles

In 2019 we launched the Lorraine ‘s House of Styles Green Initiative. With the help of our wonderful clients and Green Circle Salons we were able to switch the ratio to where now 95% of our salon waste is reused, recycled, or repurposed in some amazing and sometimes even surprising ways, such as:
– Oil boom sponges made from human hair used to clean oil spills
– Haircolor waste burned for energy
– Recycling previously unrecyclable color tubes and foils
– Hair trimmings being used for construction additives
– Even plastics made from human hair

But that wasn’t enough. We didn’t stop there. We decided to make other notable changes to try to help reduce waste such as:
– Replacing all lighting fixtures with low voltage LED lights
– Discontinuing the use of plastic straws
– Using only washable, glass and ceramic serving wear
– Taking steps to lower our energy consumptions such as raising our thermostat, keeping our front door closed and installing sunshades to cut down on external heat.
