“We are thrilled to have earned B Corp certification,” said Collins, who is also the salon's creative director. “From day one, our mission has been to not only provide exceptional hair services, but also to make a positive impact on our community and the planet. Becoming a B Corp aligns perfectly with our values and reinforces our commitment to sustainability and ethical business practices.”
