We are honored to be apart of The City of Portland mission in creating sustainability in our businesses and our homes. I want to thank Marlowe at the Best  Center for encouraging me to apply. Also Marketshift Strategies  and Julie Howes from Salon Services helping me gather information. Mississippi Ave. Business makes being sustainable easy without worry. It's just the way we should all be doing business. Metro, thank you for finding a way for salons to recycle aluminum foil. Also thanks to Davines for their Zero Impact Program and Kevin Murphy for helping create human friendly products that protect our land / water  while saving the planet. You help make us look and feel beautiful! 

At Belle Epoque, we believe we can change the course of the high-resource and chemically dependent beauty industry. By implementing environmental practices as the core of our business practice, we can impact an industry at the local level through educating our clients, our colleagues, our competitors, and our community. We believe our practices continue to increase the demand for “green” hair salons and products without sacrificing the effectiveness of our services or our bottom line.
