Barbara Arnold was amazing enough to meet us at the salon to get an idea of what we’re all about here and made 3 new friends!
More about Davines
This family-owned company has always been transparent about the natural ingredients they use and how they use them to benefit the world we live in. Since founding the company in Parma, Italy, in 1983, the Bollati family has put a huge emphasis on sustainability and environmental awareness.
Selling in more than 75 countries worldwide, the Bollati family has stayed true to their promise to produce quality products that are by all standards sustainable. They have been working with a number of nonprofit organizations on this mission, the first being the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation. It is dedicated to planting fruitful trees and plants to alleviate world hunger, combat global warming, strengthen communities, and improve the surrounding air, soil, and water. Davines is also a partner with the Slow Food Presidia which technically and financially supports more than 10,000 small producers so that they can continue growing indigenous plants to support local agriculture.
Taking it one step further, Davines has incorporated one specific active ingredient from a Slow Food Presidium in each product of the Essential Haircare line. And the packaging has been manufactured using food-grade plastic, so that you can re-use them as containers or planters.
Davines is also a B Corp Certified since 2016 which means that Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. They also in 2019 became a Benefit Corporation, meaning that it reinforces in its by-laws the commitment to operate not only for profit, but also for the benefit of the planet and the community. Davines is just a great company and family to be a part of and we strive to live in it’s shadow!
Did you know that you can recycle cigarette butts?!
Terracycle has a program where you can send in cigarette butts and turns them into hard plastic! Cigarettes are one of the most littered items and are everywhere. At Sound we like to use thoughtful and eco-friendly hair products, but we try to go the extra mile and are obsessed with recycling.
Extinguished cigarettes, cigarette filters, loose tobacco pouches, outer plastic packaging, inner foil packaging, rolling paper, and ash can all be sent into Terracycle and it’s as easy as collecting those into a sturdy bag (I use ones my boyfriend has previously stored pizza in the refrigerator after washing!). The shipping is free and is just printed after they email you the label.
There are more programs like this that are free if you keep up with Terracycle such as shaving razors and pens/markers. If anyone has any interest in these programs we can also help at the salon with collection. Just reach out! Check out Terracycle in the link below:)
