Organic Salons Showing Strong Growth in Spite of the Weak Economy

Online, December 8, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Although the United States salon services industry has continued to struggle from a weakening economy, Organic Salon Systems has announced today that salons specializing in natural, organic, safer services and products continue to realize strong growth and success. This contradictory trend is highlighted in recent research analyst reports indicating a strong growth rate of approximately 16.7% over the last three years for organic salon products and services despite a persistent contraction of the broader salon services industry of about 2% per year over the last three years.

Data suggests that Americans are growing increasingly conscious and sensitive of the personal care products they consume as the organic products industry has grown at an average rate of 15% per year over the last 15 years. While a majority of recently surveyed American adults indicated that they prefer organic salon products and are willing to pay a premium for them, only a very small portion of salons in the United States cater to this niche.

HairapyPDX, an organic salon and spa in Portland, Oregon is just one example of a salon enjoying growth and success by remaining committed to providing clients with safer salon products and services that are more natural, organic, and free from dangerous toxins. HairapyPDX, who offers Organic Salon Systems' products such as Organic Color Systems hair color and KeraGreen keratin treatment, has recently expanded and remodeled their salon to accommodate the growing demand for their services. Ernest Brooks, owner of the HairapyPDX salon, commented, "Clients appreciate that our salon is free from foul smelling fumes coming from ammonia, formaldehyde, or other chemicals commonly found in salons. I also feel a deep sense of personal satisfaction in using my expertise and creativity to help my clients look beautiful and actually feel good about the services I provide. They do not have to feel guilty about supporting products that needlessly test on animals or have concerns about how the chemicals they were exposed to will effect their health. It is a liberating feeling to help my clients actually feel good about looking beautiful". Further information about HairapyPDX can be found at www.HairapyPDX.com.

Scott Mitchell, Organic Salon Systems' chief executive officer, added, "We are incredibly encouraged by the recent growth of organic salon products and services because our company's mission is to eradicate toxic chemicals from the salon environment. The salon professionals at HairapyPDX are just some of the thousands of other salon professionals throughout the United States and Canada that are enjoying a healthier, more successful, and fulfilling life by discovering professional organic products."
