A new generation of salons | The SunriseGuide

Phthalates, Triclosan, parabens, musks, formaldehyde – perhaps you’ve been warned to keep an eye out for these allergens, carcinogens, and hormone disruptors found in many beauty care products. This is easy enough to do when reading labels in the aisle at the drugstore, but what about when you go for a facial or to have your hair done at a salon?

Fortunately, many local salons are also aware of the toxins found in beauty products, and are making an effort to use organic and non-toxic products for the health and safety of their clients, as well as their employees. While there are no set standards to qualify an “organic” salon, the following Maine salons carry product lines free of harsh chemicals, provide services that use naturally-derived products, and/or offer safer alternatives to traditional treatments like waxing and dying. Talk to your stylist beforehand, and feel good about both your look and your health.
