At Craft Collective Salon Group, we believe that great beauty should never come at the planet’s expense. As a sustainable and eco-friendly salon serving North Hills and the surrounding Pittsburgh area, we’ve made it our mission to pair exceptional artistry with environmental care, proving that style and sustainability can coexist beautifully.
Every color, treatment, and service we offer is performed with purpose, using clean, cruelty-free products and responsible salon systems that reduce waste and protect both your hair and the planet.
Our Commitment to Sustainable Beauty
Sustainability at Craft Collective isn’t just a marketing phrase; it’s a philosophy woven into every part of our business. From the color lines we use to the way we dispose of materials, every decision is made with long-term environmental impact in mind.
Our guiding principles include:
– Reducing chemical and water waste
– Using ethically produced, cruelty-free products
– Recycling color foils, tubes, gloves, and hair clippings
– Educating clients on eco-conscious hair care
– Partnering with sustainable beauty brands
As part of the Green Circle Salons network, we divert up to 95% of salon waste from landfills, turning traditional waste streams into reusable resources.
Green Circle Salon Partnership
Our partnership with Green Circle Salons allows us to recycle or repurpose nearly every byproduct of our daily work, including:
– Color tubes and leftover color
– Aluminum foils and paper
– Gloves, masks, and single-use plastics
– Hair trimmings (used for oil spill cleanups and composting)
This means every visit to Craft Collective directly contributes to a cleaner, more sustainable beauty industry.
Eco-Friendly Products and Formulas
Our stylists carefully select the most sustainable and effective professional color systems and styling lines available. We use:
– Low-ammonia and vegan hair color
– Cruelty-free, paraben-free treatments
– Biodegradable packaging and refill systems
– Plant-based hydration and repair masks
These products not only deliver stunning, healthy results, but they also reduce environmental toxicity and support cleaner waterways.
Explore how sustainability pairs perfectly with artistry in our Custom Hair Color Formulation and Gloss & Shine Enhancements services.
Energy and Water Efficiency
We’ve implemented small but powerful steps throughout our space to minimize our ecological footprint:
– Low-flow shampoo station fixtures to conserve water
– Energy-efficient lighting throughout the salon
– Eco-conscious laundry cycles using cold water and biodegradable detergent
– Locally sourced materials for salon décor and retail packaging
Together, these initiatives reduce waste and energy use without compromising comfort or experience.
How Clients Can Participate
Sustainability is a partnership between the salon and its guests. When you visit Craft Collective, you can:
– Bring your refillable retail bottles for product replenishment
– Recycle product packaging through our in-salon program
– Choose eco-safe styling and color options
– Support cruelty-free beauty brands
– Ask your stylist about Product Education & Hair Care choices that reduce waste and water use
Small changes add up to lasting impact when made consistently.
Sustainable Color and Treatment Practices
Every color service, from Root Smudge & Shadow Root to Blonde Balayage for Brunettes, follows eco-responsible procedures:
– Precise mixing to minimize excess color waste
– Foil recycling and digital formula storage to eliminate paper waste
– Reusable tools sanitized with low-impact, non-toxic solutions
Our Hair Treatments & Health services also use naturally derived ingredients, allowing you to restore strength and shine sustainably.
The Beauty of Balance
Our approach to sustainable salon practices isn’t about sacrifice; it’s about balance. By using cleaner ingredients, smarter systems, and thoughtful design, we maintain luxury-level experiences while protecting the environment for future generations.
