EcoBlu Spa and Salon – Harker Heights, Texas |
|
| Being aware of our environment has always been very important to us. Enough so that we wanted to incorporate it into our new name ecoblu spa and salon (formerly Oasis Day Spa). A location change in 2009 also allowed us to focus our efforts on reducing our carbon footprint. We used many “green” products in the build out of our new space as well as furnishing it with sustainable materials: from our front desk to our styling stations to our massage tables. Our new appliances are energy efficient and we use 100% recycled paper and bags. Now that Harker Heights has a recycling station we are able to recycle the boxes, paper and plastic bottles that we use daily in the salon and spa. Thanks to Aveda’s Caps Recycling Program* we are able to present an exclusive program that will allow our community to recycle plastic bottle caps that are generally not accepted in most recycling stations. These caps can have devastating results to birds and marine wildlife that mistake them for food. We use environmentally friendly cleaning products, energy efficient lighting and we reduce paper waste and product waste as much as possible. |
