  Let me begin by announcing that as of September 2011 we use only Aveda products and Aveda hair color.  After considerable time and energy researching various manufacturers, we found absolutely no comparison.  Aveda hair color is 97% naturally derived, infused with lavender and jojoba oils.  Aveda uses wind mill energy, organic and botanical ingredients inspired by plant based healing traditions from around the world, uses recycled packaging, opened a paper mill in Nepal creating 1000 full time jobs (fair trade). Aveda creates jobs in the U.S. as they are based out of Minneapolis.  Aveda products do not pollute the water source and they continually donate funds towards disaster relief, environmental protection and more.  Allure Salon is proud to support a company that is giving back, a company that is using the highest quality ingredients in ALL of their products and have the highest standards in the industry.  Aveda truly delivers, our guests have never looked better!
Cheers!
