Honoring Earth Day: Small Changes, Big Impact in the Beauty + Wellness Industry
Share
At Brilliance Advanced Beauty Education (Babe), we believe that honoring Earth Day is more than a once-a-year celebration—it’s a reminder that every single one of us has the power to create meaningful change. As salon professionals, massage therapists, and beauty professionals, we work closely with people and products every day—and that means we’re in a unique position to make choices that protect and support the planet.
So how can we do our part?
Here are a couple simple yet powerful ways to begin:
1. Reduce Waste Where You Can Opt for refillable or bulk product options when possible. Look for brands that offer sustainable packaging or recycling programs. Cutting down on disposables in the treatment room adds up!
2. Be Mindful of Water and Energy Use Whether it’s turning off equipment when not in use, switching to LED lighting, or being more conscious of water use during treatments—small adjustments in our routines make a big difference in the long run.
Want to do more? We’ve got you. This Earth Day, we’re excited to invite you to two impactful classes that’ll help you dig deeper into sustainability practices you can actually implement in your career:
The 7 R’s of Salon Sustainability Learn actionable ways to Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose, and Restore within your workspace—without overwhelming yourself or your team. This is an upcoming LIVE Virtual class.
In these classes, you’ll not only get strategies to reduce your environmental footprint—you’ll also be connected with resources and like-minded professionals who are already making a difference in our industry. It’s about community, growth, and supporting each other as we grow greener, together.
