Your turn to help me –
As you know, I don’t like weird chemicals in my hair, so I’ve gotten a bit weird about getting my hair cut — as in I haven’t gotten it cut in a really long time.
Actually, the real reason I haven’t gotten it cut in so long is that the last cut I got was horrifically mullet-like. No, I didn’t ask for it — and I’ve since vowed never to get my hair cut by anyone from Jersey (sorry, hairstylists from N.J. who might be reading this). Luckily, it’s since grown out — A LOT.
Unfortunately, green haircuts have proved a bit tougher to find than green facials. Greenopia ranks some of them — but the rankings seem to have mostly to do with the type of hair color used — irrelevant for me, since I don’t color my hair.
If I lived in Encino, I’d definitely go to Nori’s EcoSalon — but I’m actually not even quite sure where Encino is. I do know it’s rather far to go for just a haircut –
More close by, the greenest salon I’ve found is Veda, an Aveda concept salon in Santa Monica. However, while Aveda does a lot of green marketing, their stuff is really only semi-green. Plus a cut and style costs between $80 - $100 — not totally outrageous, but kinda pricy.
So my questions are two-fold:
1. Do you know of any hair salons that use eco-friendly hair products on the westside?
2. Assuming I get no positive answers to question 1: Should I get my hair cut at Veda, since it’s the greenest one I’ve found? Or do you have a different salon you go to that you’d recommend?
All hair advice is appreciated -
