Local Green Salon.

Every foil and color tube from your color service, recycled locally.

All seven Whip Salon locations, from Avon and South Windsor to Hilton Head Island, are part of the Local Green Salon program. The aluminum foil and color tubes from your color service are collected and recycled locally instead of going to landfill. Here’s what that does:

• Keeps thousands of pounds of salon waste out of landfill every year.
• Saves energy: recycling aluminum uses 90–95% less energy than making it new.
• Cuts color waste: new tools and techniques get every last gram of color out of the tube.

How it works.

Salon metal is hard to recycle because it carries hair color, so most recyclers won’t take it. Local Green Salon works with local recycling partners in Connecticut and South Carolina who accept it, trained our team to collect it cleanly, and uses local drivers to take it to the recycling facilities.

The eco fee.

A $1.50 eco fee is added to color appointments that create metal waste. It helps cover the cost of running the program.

Book your next color knowing the metal from your service will be recycled, not wasted.
