Many of our followers have asked us whats happening with the new salon, so we thought we would fill you all in.
We have applied for Non-Profit Tax Status with the IRS but have not gotten the final OK. Hey, its the government, what can we say. We expect an answer any day now.
Once we have the "Go Ahead", we can start soliciting donations from vendors and supporters. As soon as we have enough donations, we will start interviewing hair stylists and manicurists.
Our goal is to have a unique, high end salon without the high end prices. All of our services and products will be the safest available. We will NOT have any harmful chemical services such as Perms, Chemical Relaxers, Harmful Hair Color (we found an awesome organic hair color system), Acrylic or Gel Nails, or Bacteria Producing Pedicure Chairs. Everything we do will be safe enough for pregnant women, people going through chemotherapy, children etc.
We will have the safest and most effective skin care, hair care and makeup available at extremely affordable prices.
Our recycling program will be the most aggressive ever. Our clients can bring in their clean, empty containers (that they purchased from us) to be refilled at a discount.
All of our profits (after running the business) will go to local charities that are nominated by you, our customers.
Our goal is to open at least 1 new location a year.
Other services we will be offering through our Mother Non-Profit company (The Saf Salon Project) will consist of, Free haircare, skincare and makeup services to women in shelters that are trying to find work. We will work with other Non-Profit organizations that help these women to develop resumes, assist in interviewing and find free clothing for their interviews.
We are also raising money to purchase wigs for women and children going through chemotherapy. We will also maintain the hairpieces for them at no cost.
We would also like to offer Medical Corrective Makeup Artistry training to makeup artists.
This project will show that you can have a successful salon without the rediculous amount of waste and hundreds of harmful chemicals associated with most salons.
We promise to keep you up to date on the progress of these programs and the opening of the salon.
Thank you for your interest and support.

Why We Created This Blog
THE NATURAL SALON THATS HIP, NOT HIPPY!
We started this blog to bring awareness to consumers about the hazards present in conventional salons and spas and to educate people on the beauty industry. In particular, Cosmetics! We hope to clear up misconceptions regarding everything from "What are the safest sunscreens" to "who makes your favorite cosmetic" to "What are safe and unsafe salon treatments". We encourage you to submit topics for us to address.
