Eco-Friendly Practices:
Salon Echo strives to help people look, feel and be healthier in ways that are
both exceptional and harmonious with our environment. LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health
and Sustainability) was part of Salon Echos design from the business plan
forward. The unique interior design was created through the combined efforts of
interior designer, Lyn Falk of Solterra Studios, and materials consultant, Matthew
Samsel of Stone Prairie Studios, to use sustainable and recycled material. Salon
Echo has gone to a great deal of effort to create a new direction for what a spa
can represent. The things that you put on your hair and skin are very important
influences on the quality of your life. Salon Echo feels that it is also important
that the environment in which one enjoys services and products be healthy. From
the mesquite hardwood floor in the Studio and Spa to the recycled vinyl flooring
in the Salon the environmentally aware design ethic has been applied beautifully.
Low V.O.C. adhesives were used throughout. AMF Safecoat low V.O.C., formaldehyde-free
paint has been used on all walls. Fabrics made from recycled material cover the
furniture. Working surfaces have been constructed from grass. Exhaust air passes
through a heat exchanger so that less energy is needed to heat or cool incoming
fresh air. Mesquite is one of the hardest floorings available. It is harder than
more familiar hardwoods like maple. Yet it is a shrub, not a tree and by virtue
of its almost weed like nature, it can be clear-cut and the stumps will generate
new growth that can be harvested again and again. Salon Echo mesquite flooring
was grown, harvested, milled and kiln-dried in South Texas. Salon Echo has used
PolyFlor flooring to present a look reminiscent of 1950s linoleum but the
resemblance ends there. It is instead the top of a sandwich of materials designed
to be comfortable for clients and stylists to walk on. It is made with recycled
poly vinyl chloride (P.V.C). The polyvinyl is bonded to the rubber for a slight
give using low V.O.C. adhesive. The rubber underlayment was supplied
by EcoRubber and is made from 100% post-consumer tire rubber. Salon Echos
furniture is covered in fabric made from recycled P.E.T. pop bottles. The furniture
manufacturers have used these fabrics as they would have used any other fabric.
Working surfaces are constructed from kirei which is a sheet material made from
sorghum fiber.
