We are a sustainable salon and partner with Green Circle Salons to reduce the amount of waste we send to landfills. It’s important for us to do more for our planet and do our part within the beauty industry to protect the environment by reducing waste.
Being a sustainable Green Circle Salon, we separate our salon-specific waste such as foils, hair clippings, hair color, and wax strips and send these items to recycling facilities that repurpose them.
To make this type of recycling possible, our services include an Environmental Stewardship Fee (ESF) of $3 per visit. This money will go directly towards ensuring the items you utilize while in service at HAUS are sent to recycling facilities instead of landfills. We thank you for joining us in making positive changes to truly impact our environment and the world.
Salons create 877 pounds of waste every single minute. As a sustainable salon, Green Circle will help us divert up to 95% of our beauty waste into more sustainable options.

Green Circle Salons is the world's first sustainable salon solution dedicated to recycling, recovering and repurposing beauty waste from salons and spas.
-
We are specifically separating and collecting beauty waste generated from our three salons. This includes leftover hair color, hair clippings, hair foils, and more. After the beauty waste leaves HAUS, Green Circle takes care of the rest. Their “Green Guarantee” means the beauty waste collected will be recycled or repurposed, rather than end up in a landfill or waterway.
-
We can now recycle and/or repurpose hair clippings, excess hair color, used metals and foils, used single use items, and paper and plastic waste.

As a company, we at HAUS must continue to seek out ways to become more eco-friendly, environmentally friendly and sustainable. As a beauty industry leader, it is important to us to lead the way in finding innovative ways to protect the environment in every way we can. To make this possible, we must partner with our clients. The ESF charge of $3 per visit covers ongoing Green Circle program costs directly related to beauty waste recycling and other salon-wide environmental sustainability efforts.
-
The ESF is added on as an additional line item that is added to each service. An ESF charge of $3 will be added per visit.

Unlike some industries, we aren’t currently able to specially recycle the beauty items we use through our waste management partners. Much of this kind of recycling is still emerging, and until it becomes more mainstream in order to recycle salon specific waste items, we need to utilize Green Circle’s programs to access recycling facilities and repurposing options. It is critically important for the salon industry to do our part in making the planet a cleaner place, and that comes at a high cost. It is not financially possible for us to be eco-friendly without using a service like Green Circle as this capability is emerging. We appreciate your partnership as we move toward doing better.
