About Us
Come experience a whole new way to beauty. Every detail of your visit is thoughtful in its respect and it’s appreciation for nature and the preservation of it. We recycle continuously throughout your services. One cannot help but be a part of nature here in Alaska, and as owner Jen grew up on an off grid homestead in Kachemak Bay, it's impossible to deny our need to protect it. We searched the globe and found products that are symbiotic with our values in their respect and appreciation of our planet, using the principles of biodynamic farming for cultivation and production. Our No-Waste mission is supported by their commitment to using eco friendly methods and packaging. From our refill bar, to our recycling program, we divert almost 95% of all our salon waste from the landfill, and turn it into reusable materials.
Salon Promise
Our commitment to health extends beyond your skin and hair to taking care of our environment, and by using sustainability as our guide and business model
