Salon Pollyanna

The salon began from an interest in creating good-looking styles while lowering the environmental impact of everyday beauty routines, and that idea still shapes how it works. The salon describes itself as small and its atmosphere as cozy and friendly, with ample parking nearby.

Hair work centers on cuts, curls and color. The salon uses organic and natural products in its services and sells organic products for clients to take home. Its color line is All-Nutrient, which is built on a base of certified organic ingredients and is free of PPD and gluten. The Davroe shampoo and conditioner line is vegan, plant based and free of sulphates, parabens and petrochemicals.

The Brazilian Blowout Express smoothing treatment takes about an hour and, according to the product information, lasts up to four weeks. It is described as suitable for all hair types and can be adjusted to the result a client wants. The salon also mentions customizable smoothing treatments that can take as little as 80 minutes and last up to 12 weeks.

A visit includes a courtesy bar with beverages, aromatherapy, hot towels and reclining shampoo chairs. The salon carries the Bonding product range, including Iconic Bonding Spray, which is color-safe, leaves no residue and seals the hair cuticle. It also carries the GlyMedPlus skin care line, including a four-step system that is described as designed to help maintain skin health.

Utopia Skin Solutions, an independent skin service, operates upstairs from the salon. Booth rental and commission arrangements for stylists are advertised as available.
