  • It means making mindful choices – choices that positively impact your health, lifestyle and environment. Each Style Consciously product is carefully vetted to help you choose cleaner, greener, kinder products and brands. Style Consciously allows you to identify products that qualify as clean, cruelty free, vegan or sustainable. A product needs to qualify for one of the identifying four pillars to be labeled Style Consciously.

    • Sulfate Free SLS, SLES
    • Phthalate Free
    • Talc Free
    • Formaldehyde Free
    • Formaldehyde releasing agents (formaldehyde donors)

    Our services are Sustainable too! We are a certified Green Circle Salon and have partnered with Green Circle Salons to divert 95% of our salon waste from landfills.

  • On average, the hair industry creates 421,206 lbs of beauty waste per day. This is why Chatters Hair Salons has been a proud Green Circle Salons partner since 2017. We are the largest Green Circle Certified Salon Chain, recovering things like hair, metals, gloves, hair colour, plastics and PPE (masks, gloves, capes, towels and face shields). Since 2017, Chatters has recovered 209,280 lbs of beauty waste... and counting!

  • Metals such as Aluminum Foils, Colour Tubes, Food & Beverage Cans, Tin Containers, etc., are melted down and re-purposed to be used as raw material. These include things like bicycle parts, car parts, and salon chairs.

    Hair! Anything that grows on your head gets a new life. This recovered hair can be used in humanitarian efforts including to help clean up oil spills (fun fact: hair can absorb up to 12x its weight in oil!). Some other uses could include stormwater filtration, commercial insulation, and bio-composite plastic (learn more about bio-composite plastic below).

    Hair Colour by product such as excess hair colour, lightener, or excess peroxide usage.

    North Americans pour 42,122 lbs of hair colour waste down the drain daily. By putting it through a Waste-to-Energy recovery process, Green Circle separates the chemical from the water contents in the by-product in order to create clean water! Then the chemical portion is turned into clean energy, which gets infused back into our local power grids!
