Small Steps, Big Impact: How Our Salon is Reducing Beauty Waste with Green Circle Salons

In an industry known for beauty and transformation, it’s easy to overlook the waste left behind. Foils, hair clippings, excess color, and product containers often pile up in salons across the world. But at Salon Le Volume, we’re committed to ensuring that beauty doesn’t come at the expense of the environment. That’s why we’re proud to be part of Green Circle Salons, a program dedicated to reducing waste in the beauty industry and promoting sustainable practices.


What is Green Circle Salons?

Green Circle Salons is a certified B Corporation that helps salons repurpose and recycle up to 95% of their beauty waste. From hair clippings to used color tubes, every little bit counts. The initiative transforms what would otherwise end up in a landfill into something new and useful — like hair booms used to clean up oil spills or recycled aluminum for new products.

Our Impact So Far

Since joining Green Circle Salons, we’ve seen firsthand how small changes can add up. Here’s a look at what we’ve accomplished together this year:

126 lbs of total beauty waste recovered

5 lbs of hair (which can be used in oil spill cleanup efforts)

9.5 lbs of hair color (safely managed to keep chemicals out of our waterways)

110.5 lbs of metals (like foils and color tubes recycled for reuse)


Every foil, every strand of hair, and every ounce of leftover color represents a step toward a cleaner, greener future.


Why It Matters

The beauty industry produces a significant amount of waste each year. Traditional salon practices often result in unnecessary waste, but thanks to Green Circle Salons, the material that can be recycled are collected, separated, and sent to specialized recycling facilities where they are transformed into something new.


Our Commitment to the Frisco, Texas Community

While global change is important, we believe in starting with our own Frisco, Texas community. By reducing our waste, we’re helping to create a cleaner, healthier environment for our neighbors, clients, and team. Each client who sits in our chair becomes part of this effort — simply by choosing a salon that is making an effort and has put processes in place to recycle.

How You Can Support Our Mission

Every time you book an appointment with us, you’re helping support this initiative. If you’re curious about how Green Circle works or have questions about our recycling process, we’re always happy to chat. We believe that awareness leads to action, and together, we can create lasting change.


At Salon Le Volume, we’re striving to make a difference one piece at a time. Small steps matter. Together, we can redefine what it means to be beautiful — inside, outside, and all around us.
