NEW YEAR - NEW GOALS!
Join CANS in a #90daygreenchallenge !!
Make this year a sustainable year! There are so many ways we can all work together to reduce our environmental footprint and still provide services that help our clients look and feel good.
The beauty industry sends 877 pounds of waste to landfills every single minute. You can be a part of this change. Green Circle Salons is the industry's first sustainable salon/spa solution dedicated to fighting beauty waste and climate change. Join their community of Waste Warriors committed to keeping people and the planet beautiful.
From supporting sustainable product lines to reusing & recycling, more and more salons and spas are making strides to become eco-friendly. It doesn't have to be costly either. Many owners are going green and then marketing the benefits to consumers. This is a great way to increase sales and referrals while doing your part to reduce the impact salons and spas have on the environment!
Share what you or your salon/spa are doing to go green on your social media platforms. Use the hashtag #90daygreenchallenge and tag @cosmetologyassociationofns and we will share your ideas and accomplishments on our social media as well!
