WEHAVE DONE JUST THAT.My vision of growing my business relies on everything I have learned from a decade in the beauty industry, having been mentored by some of the top industry leaders around the globe. As a staff, we are driven by continuing education and a focus on the latest trends in cuts and color, while maintaining our mission of being natural and eco-friendly. My team and I are passionate about sharing this with our clients. At grow, our products truly are better for yourhair, your skin, and your body. In today’s world, I feel it’s important that we educate ourselves on the lifestyle products we are using, not only because they can be harmful to you-- our client--but they also can be harmful to the environment.This is why we chose to become a ‘Green Circle Salon’— one of only four in Tennessee. It’s so much more than just reusing paper and plastics: with this incredible initiative,we are able to recycle basically everything in the salon, right down to the hair clippings and aluminum foil! Withthat in mind, we only use and promote hair care, makeup,PETA approved. We have chosen KEVIN.MURPHY for our exclusive hair care lineand COLOR.ME by KEVIN.MURPHY for our hair color line because of the choices that they make as a company. With a pomegranate, aloe, and honey base, our hair color is a premium Italian line with a blend of botanical ingredients that offer 100% gray coverage, unsurpassed multi-tonal effects, and incredible shine, while being completely ammonia free.At grow, we believe that each and every guest deserves to look and feel as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside.
