Vetiver Organic Hair Spa Opens
A unique and sustainable non-toxic organic hair spa, offering a healthy alternative to the traditional salon experience. Commitment to incorporate pure, organic, plant based ingredients, and eco-conscious living.
Online, November 2, 2011 (Newswire.com) - (Seattle, WA) Issaquah organic hair experts and educators Richard Bemm and Kristina Ricotta announced the opening of Vetiver Organic Hair Spa at 375 N.W. Gilman Blvd B102, Issaquah Washington 98027. The Organic Spa, conveniently located at the Western edge of Gilman Village, features a healthy alternative to traditional salons with a completely non-toxic build out, organic products and personalized hair services.
It all began with owners Richard Bemm and his partner, Kristina Ricotta having a desire to incorporate their eco-conscious life-style, decades of salon experience, and artistic fervor-to create a truly sustainable non-toxic organic hair spa experience. Vetiver is committed to providing a clean air, non-toxic environment; offering pure organic, plant based products, purified water (which is done on site through ion exchange process), custom crafted services, and a creative environment free of artificial fragrance and synthetics to restore your senses and be pampered.
Salon owner Richard Bemm remarks, "At Vetiver, we believe that we have a responsibility towards the health of people and the planet. Through education we gain an advanced understanding of how to better our health and the health of our industry.. We continue to stay updated in the advances and choices available to us in regards to what gets "marketed" to all of us as consumers."
The organic experience begins as you step into the salon, which incorporates marmoleum flooring (containing no formaldehyde or toxic glues), walls finished with American clay (which emit beneficial negative ions and regulate humidity), and Ceilume sustainable ceiling tiles (Greengaurd certified, 60% recycled materials, 40% of that is post consumer recycled water bottles). The non-toxic build out continues with custom designed bamboo cabinetry (finished with100% tung oil which has no VOCs) and paperstone counters (created from 100% post consumer recycled paper which is made from a local company), and with the use of reclaimed denim insulation (which helps reduce spa noise). Repurposed items hand selected from local salvage yards and antique shops are accented by rotational fine art, featuring rising local artists - all creating a striking interior design while promoting an inviting, relaxing feeling staying true to eco-conscious lifestyle.
"At Vetiver Organic Hair Spa, we strive to support businesses that practice sustainability and eco conscious values. We are more than just a great hair experience. We provide a healthy alternative to the traditional salon," states Kristina Ricotta. "No Chemicals or artificial smells greet you at the door. You feel pampered while breathing deeply as we restore your senses," adds Bemm.
Vetiver Organic Hair Spa owners insist on using products free of synthetic ingredients throughout the salon such as hygienic, compostable eco-friendly 100% paper pulp salon towels - 60% more absorbent than cotton and contains no pesticides, bleach or toxic dyes, as well as non-toxic cleaning supplies and soaps - all biodegradable, and free of synthetics. Vetiver also offers customized, hand-blended treatment recipes and organic teas which support positive ripple effects for good health that are achieved by their truly organic model.
