Eco-Friendly Haircare Tips for Ross Township Clients | Craft Collective Salon Group

At Craft Collective Salon Group, sustainability isn’t a buzzword — it’s part of how we define beauty. Our Ross Township salon was built on the belief that great hair and responsible practices can coexist. From the products we use to the systems behind the chair, every detail supports our mission to make beauty cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable.

Here’s how our team — and our clients — are leading the eco-conscious haircare movement in North Hills Pittsburgh.

1. Choose Sustainable Product Lines

It all starts with what’s inside your shampoo bottle. We partner with brands that prioritize vegan, cruelty-free, and low-impact ingredients, including:

• R+Co – Sulfate-free, paraben-free, and fully recyclable packaging.

• R+Co Bleu – A luxury extension of R+Co, made with ocean-safe ingredients and post-consumer recycled materials.

• Wella Professionals – Formulas backed by green chemistry and sustainable sourcing.

• Aveda Color – Plant-powered color systems crafted with renewable energy.

  
  

By switching to these lines, Ross Township clients help reduce salon waste while enjoying healthier, longer-lasting results.

2. Extend the Life of Your Color

Fewer salon visits mean fewer environmental impacts. The key is to extend your color life between appointments with gentle care and protection.

Our stylists recommend washing two to three times per week using R+Co Bleu’s “Gemstone” shampoo and conditioner duo, which locks pigment and moisture simultaneously.

For those who love bright blonde or balayage looks, see our guide on Best Balayage Near Ross Park Mall to understand how strategic placement and tone control can help color last longer with minimal upkeep.

3. Conserve Water While Washing

A simple but powerful eco-habit: shorten your rinse time. Many Pittsburgh clients don’t realize how much water they can save by reducing wash frequency and duration.

Our Ross Township salon uses low-flow shampoo stations that cut water use by 40% without sacrificing comfort. At home, we recommend investing in a filtered showerhead — it protects both your color and the planet.

4. Choose Heat-Free Styling More Often

Heat styling consumes energy and can cause unnecessary damage over time. Our stylists love teaching clients how to air-dry effectively using texture products from R+Co Bleu and Wella Professionals that enhance shape and reduce frizz.

Try towel blotting instead of rubbing, apply a lightweight curl-enhancing cream, and let nature do the rest.

For those who prefer polished looks, our stylists can demonstrate low-heat blow-drying techniques that minimize power use while keeping styles fresh — especially after modern men’s cuts or event styles. Check out Modern Men’s Cuts Popular in North Hills for more on easy daily maintenance.

5. Recycle and Refill Where Possible

Craft Collective Salon Group partners with brand programs that allow packaging returns and refills, reducing plastic waste from haircare products.

At home, you can recycle empty containers by rinsing them, removing pumps, and checking for local curbside acceptance. We also encourage reusing old product jars as travel containers or plant holders — small steps that align with a more sustainable lifestyle.

6. Support Salons That Care

Every service you book with Craft Collective Salon Group directly supports our sustainability efforts — from biodegradable towels and non-toxic cleaners to energy-efficient lighting.

We believe eco-beauty is community beauty. By choosing an environmentally conscious salon, you’re investing in a future where wellness and the planet thrive together.

7. Simplify, Don’t Sacrifice

Being eco-friendly doesn’t mean compromising on luxury. It’s about smarter choices: using what you need, selecting better ingredients, and finding joy in simplicity.

That’s the philosophy behind every service at Craft Collective Salon Group — whether it’s a bridal hair trial, a modern men’s cut, or a balayage session. We believe that mindful beauty creates confidence that lasts far beyond the chair.
