501 is proud to be an Eco-Conscious Aveda Concept & Davines Salon + Spa, founded on the common mission of caring for yourself and for the world around us.
During your time with us, you'll enjoy Aveda Rituals that will relax and transport you, such as a Cup of AVEDA Comforting Tea™, a Warm aromatic towel, Elemental Nature™ aromas to enliven the senses, Stress-relieving scalp, neck, and shoulders massage and a Luxurious hand massage. Aveda professionals are trained to understand how to listen to your needs and provide you with a thorough consultation so you can be comfortable and confident during your experience.
We also offer a “Donation to sustainability efforts add-on” - This is because we are always striving to be more sustainable and reduce our carbon footprint! If you would like to donate to our efforts to offset the initial cost of achieving this goal, add this on!
Ways We Practice Eco-Consciousness:
RECYCLING
-Boxes and packaging that we receive from Aveda is not only made out of post consumer recycled materials, but we then recycle them or repurpose them inside of the salon for better use. Shampoo, conditioner and product bottles are also recycled or refilled and reused inside of the salon and any caps, lids, containers etc. are recycled if not repurposed and reused as well.
-Service providers use reusable gloves to eliminate waste.
-Color waste is measured at the end of every day to monitor how much color waste we are producing and strive to decrease that number quarterly.
SANITATION PROCESSES
-When the towels used for guests are getting ratty, we repurpose them and use them as sanitation towels to clean the space and limit any cleaning/paper waste products.
PAPERLESS
-We work primarily off of technology and booking software. When you’ve booked an appointment you are sent a form to fill out giving us your hair history, contact info etc to limit any paper signatures or information needed.
