The “green” nail salon movement. Here’s what makes on of them, Recess in Los Angeles, so “green”:
There are tons of ways that make the Recess Nail Spa environmentally responsible. Here are just a few:
Recess is constructed as per LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) guidelines. All furnishings are custom built as per LEED.
Recess uses bamboo/cotton blended towels manufactured at a wind powered plant using low impact dyes.
Recess uses non-toxic Zoya and Spa Ritual nail polishes and non-toxic nail treatments.
Recess’ line of products, used during services, are derived from natural and organic ingredients.
Manicure and pedicure stools are eco-friendly (the pedicure ones were custom-built to be green).
The scary thing is the reporter writing the story takes this stuff seriously:
Finding a salon like Recess near you may require a bit of research, but checking online is a good bet. Also, when you book an appointment, make sure to ask questions to find out how green the salon is.
I’ll get a man right on it.
