Green Circle Salon Testimony:
Manic Muse Salon, located in downtown Grand Rapids, was the first Green Circle member in West Michigan, and they have been an active member for the past 3 years. The owner, Kimberly, stated that when she opened the salon, she wanted to create a space with a family culture and being a part of Green Circle creates that culture and supports the Davines motto. Green Circle sets her salon apart from other salons. To offset the Green Circle yearly cost, she adds in the cost to each service. Many clients ask about what it means to be Green Circle certified and all of her stylists know how to educate their clients. Some of their clients even found their salon through the Green Circle directory. Overall, Kimberly talked about how much support Green Circle gives in and out of the salon and how easy it is to implement.
