Is an eco-friendly hair salon worth it?

And if for the Week of Sustainable Development which is held from April 1 to 7, 2014 was the opportunity to discover hairdressers who play the green card.

A hairdresser who takes up the ecological challenge
"Sustainable development, my hairdresser is committed", this label created in 2009 reflects the awareness of the profession. At the counter: about one hundred hairdressing and independent hairdressers already awarded and 800 files under evaluation. All the addresses of these hairdressers green on: moncoiffeursengage.com/les-labellises
A similar initiative at Saint-Algue, which renovated its 280 hairdressing salons according to an eco-charter.
At L'Oréal Professionnel, certified hairdressers are sensitized to their training academies (13 in France).

A hairdresser who controls energy
The consumption of all French hairdressing salons is equivalent to that of a city of 18,000 inhabitants: 600,000 MWh. What plays the bill? Hair dryer and lighting. By founding Didact Hair Building , Alexandre made the choice of dry hair eco-friendly not exceeding 130 Watt for a 20% lowered expenditure. Traditional light bulbs are replaced by low consumption spots and LED and compact fluorescent lamps. These emit 50W but consume only 35 watts.

A hairdresser who minimizes the use of water
The total consumption exceeds 8 million m ³ ... enough to fill 6500 municipal pools! Main Responsible: Shampoo. During the training sessions, the Didact Hair team recommends the application of dry shampoo (as in a coloration). By wetting the hair only when rinsing, the volume of water used is reduced by 50%. Another good practice is the installation of shower trays that cut when they are resting and foam taps that increase the amount of air in the water and therefore rinse faster.
