Show Summary

In this episode we take a look at a few of the ways we unwind, namely hair salons, organic wine, and bath and body products… OK, so this is a little more of a female-centric unwind episode, but there are a few pearls of wisdom in there for the guys as well.

Salon Rocks – Eco-Friendly Hair Salon

Owners Pasquale Benasillo and Anthony Del’Aquila show us around their salon and detail the numerous ways they are taking their salon Green By Design:

• Recycled rubber flooring
• Recycled tree bark wall covering
• Computers instead of magazines
• High-Efficiency Ionic Hair Dryers
• Tankless hot water on-demand
• Natural Daylighting
• Personally designed, all natural, food-grade, shampoos and conditioners
• No/Low formaldehyde hair dyes
• Bamboo furnishings
• Toxic free all purpose cleaning by Mr. Mikes

The salon also employs talented stylists from the tri-state because as Paqualle puts it, “Our customers aren’t just coming here for the eco-friendly walls and floor.”  We also talk to stylists Jamie Policastro, Wave Bravo and Chris Capasso about how it is to work in an more natural environment being exposed to far less toxic chemicals than they would be in a conventional salon.
