Hair Salons are busy places full of activity. In order to privide all of those wonderful services it takes products, chemicals and lots of energy. And with all of this flurry of activity there are bi-products like hair, dirty towels and tools and even air than can become, well let's just say "less than fresh". What you potentially end up with is a lot of foul air, bacteria, dust, dirt, etc. The checmicals and products so often used, while good at producing a desired result, can sometimes be harsh on skin and lungs. Repetitive tasks that stylist perform can also take a toll on them.

We recognized all of these issues and wanted to create the safest and healthiest salon we could. And although this is an ongoing effort at Face Value, these are some of the steps we have taken to make our environment a healthy place for you, our clients, and our great staff (after all we have to work in this envoronment every day).

• Organic Hair Color available for a safer and more pleasant experience.
• Natural ingredient Hair Care and Styling products that actually heal your hair
• Outside Air Intakes and Circulation (and filtering) to continuously bring in fresh air preventing stale unhealthy air
• An additional Air Filtration machine that constantly purifies air to actually kill impurities (not just recycle them). You will breathe better at Face Value.
• Electric Based Chairs, Stand Behind Shampoo Sinks and Suspended Hair Dryers all help to relieve chronic muscle fatigue for stylists
• Central vacuum portals to quickly reduce hair and dust buildup in the salon
• Regular cleaning and sanitizing of tools, working areas and restrooms
• Germ and bacteria killing washers and dryers to keep towels, linens and smocks truly clean and healthy for you
• LED lighting and tankless hot water heaters to reduce our carbon footprint
• Reverse osmosis filtering to remove any contaminants from drinking water for your coffee, tea and beverages

These steps represent an investment of tens of thousands of dollars and is one of the reasons many hair salons simply do not take these steps. But we want to offer you the best possible experience we can and that includes a healthy salon and healthy products. Plus, our family of stylists enjoy working in a safer, healthier place and that makes for happier stylists who can focus on bringing you their creative talents. So the next time you visit Face Value, breath e deeply, you can just smell the difference.

Cheers,

Lucinda
