Eco-Friendly Colorist

How many strips of aluminum foil do you use per client? How about every day ... or every month? Before you know it, the amount you’re counting up in your head right now probably will all end up in a landfill. If you want to practice being more eco-friendly, consider Biolights Color, it creates dimensional highlights by using 100-percent biodegradable cotton pads in place of conventional aluminum. According to Rick Wellman, co-owner of Patrick Melville Salon Spa in New York City, the pads allow for fast and easy application, no swelling or bleeding and they reduce the risk of over processing. Your color application will stay in place while the material conforms and bends to your client’s head. For more info, visit biolightscolor.com.
