Salon & Spa Issue Going Green & Organic- learn from the best leaders in the industry to transform your business to Green. This includes all beauty businesses. Fasten your salon chair seat belt, sit back and dream about where your next spa experience will take your customers. If your mouth isn't watering yet, it will be by the time you settle in on EYE ON GREEN Magazine's Mid-July Fresh Green Start Special Edition.
What do you need for a Green Spa? Here are 3 items to think about…and they are not products, they are in fact, your CIA for the Growing GREEN Salon Business.
The Beauty, the Blogger & The Biz-Relationship Maker (BRM)
The Beauty
First, equip your spa with Beauties. Hiring stylist that have their ear to the ground on chic, and can provide savvy selling skills as well. A classy stylist is the one who does the beauty, and books the next appoint before the client heads out the door.
Stylists Need Incentives
Give you ur stylists incentive to work with you at your salon. Okay, I know this is tough to keep your stylists- but if you are educated on working with people, this should be easy to hold on to them. Look, Listen, and help your stylist with their needs. If you know the salon down the street is hiring new stylists at a better rate, give YOUR stylists incentive to bring you new business. Perhaps, give them 75% on any new clients they bring to your door…the “house” keeps the remainder. Empower your indoor Beauty’s to bring ideas to outdoor guests. Encourage your staff to customize your store front window, pin-up marketing displays amd update your salon to be the “Beauty Café” in town. Listen and let your
stylists help you!
The Blogger
A good beauty blogger is becoming a sought after salon commodity. The best part is you will NOT have to hire one. Most likely, assessing talent and writing about beauty comes easy for most that are in the beauty business. Please use your resources that you have “in house.” A “blogger” is a good way to keep your EYE on Beauty and Business moving on the web. These guru bloggers can easily send out emails on specials, help with online questions, update your website, and write about industry news and manage your e-store. (see below, best items for e-salons & spas) Why hire a Store Manager? Guess what…. clients are now booking appointments and buying products online, no manager or receptionist needed! Having an onsite beauty blogger is the best choice! Get a brilliant beauty blogger. One employee for three beautiful multitasking - gets the job done!
Le Biz - Relationship Maker
Sounds like high-end responsibility? It isn’t!
A Biz-Relationship Maker is a person that sniffs out biz and forms friendships.
They are the “Beauty –Bloodhounds.” They know what makes the client happy before they walk in the door. They offer them hospitality, kindness, they also wash hair and sweep the floor, display a Service with a smile, attitude.
Do you think that you have to hire outside to get this type indoor service? No way, this incredible business guide is here everyday. Relax – The Biz-Relationship Maker is YOU! Believe it or not…your clients and staff needs you to show your beautiful face at the salon, to motivate, excite and believe in your dreams!
Please see my new powerful GREEN comrades! They can help you with all your green salon needs. I am so excited about my new friends for July EYE ON GREEN MAGAZINE. They have amazing advice to offer, excellent connections and items that can ignite business for your onsite salon and raising the GREEN Salon Online E-stores.
A Small Glimpse of Genius in A Big Green World

How long are you in the GREEN Business? Since 2006 (6 years)
What is your GREEN product or Service? I provide personalized facial treatments and hair removal services within an intimate, appointment-only eco-friendly studio in Baltimore, MD. In addition all ReNew Botanical products are formulated with between 76% and 93% certified organic ingredients, sustainable harvested and fairly traded whenever possible.

I believe in helping clients by equipping them with information to help themselves, and to achieve these results not only with my treatments, but with their own care at home too.”
More About Shelley - I am a licensed esthetician practicing for over 21 years. I opened the first eco-friendly organic spa in Baltimore in 2006 which won several awards. After closing in 2009 I opened my solo skin care practice being the first and only esthetician in Baltimore to make their own organic/vegan skincare product and customize them for their clients in a green environment. I started my journey in environmental awareness after attending the first Earth Day in New York City in 1970. After becoming ill with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia in the late 70s I switched to eating organic foods. When I became an esthetician in 1991 I started studying Aromatherapy and herbology. As I learned more about ingredients used in skin care and personal care products I was appalled at what was used and that led to developing my own skin care line.
EYE ON Beauty Review: "Shelley is an accomplished expert on educating others on developing skincare for personal and practical use. Shelley is the “go to gal” for advice on formulating skincare and bath products. She contributes to high-level conversations on Salons Going Green (linkedIn) and many other sites that I am connected with on the going green venue. She has an extensive line and a beautiful hands-on website. Easy to navigate and high-level brilliance, at the hands of a beauty making, green spa awareness educator. I encourage a visit to her site and her blog. Shelley's contributions are making a difference in the Big World of Green Beauty.” ~ Terry Ruvo/CEO

How long are you in the
GREEN Business?
I have over 20 years of Salon Experience in teaching technique, using and
evaluating spa products and utilizing salon staff. I have
been with BlackBox at the beginning and have since been promoted to Sales
Directory in a short period of time. I
solely believe that BlackBox is the product that will change the salon
industry. There are so many products out
there – when a salon makes a “choice” to bring Organics in, choose a product
that will seduce both men and women. The
products that every salon and spa needs are with BlackBox Cosmetics.
Why is your product and
why is it Different? BlackBox is considered organic. The packaging
is geared to preserving the antioxidant benefits.
New Products in the
future? VuDu Hair Care for Men & Women. We have just introduced Revive gx and Bronzed
Infusion. The magic of BlackBox is
here.
Company Vision/
Motto: You can have anything in life, as
along as you help others to pursue their dreams as well. I strongly believe in
the “pay it forward” motto for building strong business relationships.
EYE on Beauty reviews: Since, BlackBox came on the scene, I have
become steadily curious about their management team, company focus and goals. I
was delighted to see that the company is encouraging beauty spas and salons to
go Green. But that's not all.. BlackBox has added more green (organic) products
and strategic beauty players in their cosmetic arsenal. I believe Mark
Griffore District Manager - will make BlackBox's
plan explode into action. Mark has years of Salon experience thus having
owned 2 salons himself. He is focused on product vs. client needs of
delivering quality and results. He understands the needs of the green salon
owner, and the products that will save their bottom line. (ref EOG article) How
Green Will Save Beauty's Bottom." It is a pleasure for me
to introduce you to Mark Griffore of BlackBox Cosmetics. My readers
will be hearing much more about BlackBox and their mission of purposeful intent for BlackBox Bursting the Salons Scene & Raising
Green Products to new heights!

The Royalty of ROME
on Prince St. ERBE Spa NY
Company Name Erbe Spa
Founder/CEO Carmen Miraglia
All our skin care products are paraben free using
natural essential oils of plants and flowers and not chemicals,our line is sold
into recycle papers and the products are not tested on the animals,besides that
the company vision below explains how we are different from big mass production
cosmetics company
New Products in the future? Nnatural carrot sun protector cream
Company Vision: We stand for tradition and
happily occupy a niche. We are not a big industrial, mass-production cosmetics
company.
For almost
25 years we have measured our success by how different we are from the larger
businesses that take the idea of beauty and corrupt it through mass marketing
and aggressive cost cutting, and, ultimately, silly claims. The big companies
do not know you, and, worse, do not care to know you. Rather, they employ the
tactics of demographics, psycho-graphics and analytics to reduce you to some
abstract being, possessing certain needs and assets.
On the
other hand, Erbe has always been hands-on, making simple promises in the form
of a highly personal and, so, meaningful message to our faithful clients. The
product has always been inspired by our relationships.
The
majority of skin care lines include chemicals, which imitate the healing
actions of the actual botanical extracts found in Erbe products. What we’ve found is that chemicals, however
cheerily or scientifically expressed, achieve only superficial and temporary
results. They offer illusions the famous hope in a bottle.
Erbe approaches ingredients differently.
Our products put you on the healing track. They interact with your skin; they
work deeply because they are intended to cure actual dermatological problems.
Our idea of a regime is few products, each intended to provide real and lasting
benefits.
Erbe has
always been about the natural world and our relation to it. We come out of a
real tradition: The Authentic Italian Beauty Tradition. We are the descendants
of generations of men and women who understood the relationship between real
beauty and true health and found in the Earth.
Erbe is
committed to raising the awareness of a largely ignored past. We have reclaimed
the wisdom of our Italian monks, whose healing practices anticipated by
centuries what we think of as modern today. They are our past, and we are their
future.
Toward that
end, we reject the pathological pursuit of profit at the expense of the real.
Our aims are as humble as our formulations; we want to help people enjoy
lasting results from a few truly effective products rather than being caught up
in a cycle of useless purchasing.
Mission/Motto:
At the Erbe Salon you can experience the
lost feeling of the Italian Renaissance courts, Erbes ground floor is an
aromatic refuge from the shopping frenzy outside, with the timeless feel of an Eerboristeriain
an authentic Roman neighborhood. Classical music,
Italian antiques and an array of elegant and simply packaged products recreate
the same healing beauty setting the Italian women from the Italian Renaissance
were accustomed to.
An all
natural skin-care salon that has been around for almost three decades for good
reasons!
Our Herbal
facials are deep but gentle.
A warm and
serene setting is waiting for you at Erbe Spa where your skin will be treated
with our aroma-Phytotherapy Brand specialized in active principles of organic
botanical blends.
Produced in Italy, our natural and paraben free
product line is conceived and formulated to promote healing and to enhance
beauty according the authentic Italian beauty culture dated back the glorious
history period of the Italian Renaissance.
Our spa: All Erbe facials are designed to
provide long lasting care for the skin, to balance, heal and purify, providing
nutrients and emollients essential for the maintenance of beautiful and glowing
younger skin.
For Bookings
call us at 212-966-1445 and ask the experts:
They will gladly come up with the best solution
for your beauty inquiries, suggesting you what type of treatments offered at
the Erbe spa better tackle your actual dermatological problem.
EYE on Beauty Review: If you are planning a trip to NYC, arrange a
Spa Day at Erbe. I am already in Love with Erbe. With thoughts of seeing and feeling the
difference of fine Italian beauty traditions already has me seduced! You must get UP CLOSE and Personal with Erbe,
they are a full-service salon. "Fill your heart with Erbe to the brim in mind & body. Learn lessons from the greatest herbalist and spa
leaders at Erbe Spa Verde de Amore!" ~Terry Ruvo CEO

Silk Virgin
The skin is
the biggest and most important organ in your body, serving many
functions, one of which is excretion of toxic substances. Keeping your
skin clean will improve its function and appearance. Is the regular,
every day cleaning of your skin with soap and water enough? Research
shows that, in addition to every day cleansing it is very important to exfoliate.
What is exfoliation of
the skin? This is a process of removing of the dead skin and impurities
from the pores, also called deep cleansing of the skin.
Exfoliating of your face and body regularly, at
least once a week is very important. Exfoliated skin breaths better,
functions better and looks better. After the exfoliation your skin
becomes more easily penetrated, the skin products you use more effective.
Another important question is, what kind of exfoliating product should you use? You need an exfoliating product that provides total exfoliating results and it is natural. Finding that product could be a challenge.
Most
of the exfoliating products on the market provide only abrasive action
and are not really exfoliating the skin. Some of them even claim to be
all natural. Is it possible an exfoliating cream or scrub to be all
natural?Of course no. More or less they all contain chemicals and
preservatives.
Usually it is better to exfoliate with exfoliating glove or mitten. But again, what they are made of, how they work? Silk Virgin
And now the good news, the search is over. We have for you the exfoliating product you need.
Our Silk Virgin Exfoliating Glove is the only exfoliating glove on the Market that is 100% all natural silk providing maximum exfoliating result.
This unique exfoliating glove is
developed by a team of experienced European Dermatologists. Their
proprietary European technology has created a far superiorexfoliating
product.
The silk treads are obtained without chemicals, using only steam
and the content of the treads is 100% protein. These delicate fibers
thinner than human hair are woven with different levels of elasticity to
fit perfectly to the contours of the skin achieving complete exfoliation.
Massaging with Silk Virgin stimulates
and rejuvenates the skin, promotes a vibrant youthful complexion,
diminishes the appearance of wrinkles, stretchmarks, acne scars,
cellulite, dark spots.
Beautiful and healthy skin isn't a trade mark for women only. Using Silk Virgin Exfoliating Glove benefits men as well as women. The Glove is recommended for face, body and all skin types. Made in Europe, developed and clinically tested in the Dermatology Institute in Sofia, Bulgaria, designed by Virginia-Atelier and Tanya G.
Tanya and I have the same mission. We will ONLY propose the best quality green products to our patrons that yield the best results and performance. Slik VIrgin has given Tanya G. positive feedback not to mention ROI. Don't Keep Silk Virgin a Secret. Offer it in your salon and make a difference!
