We had the good fortune of connecting with Boulder Hair Collective and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Boulder Hair Collective, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
When I decided to open Boulder Hair Collective in North Boulder, my vision was to create a space where luxury meets sensibility. I wanted to build a salon that not only offers top-tier services but also aligns with sustainable practices that respect our environment. Partnering with Green Circle Salons was a natural choice, as their commitment to recycling and repurposing salon waste perfectly complements our mission. Every detail, from the products we use to the energy we consume, is carefully considered to ensure we minimize our environmental footprint while delivering exceptional results to our clients.

Community is at the heart of Boulder Hair Collective. From the beginning, it was essential to me that our salon would not only serve our clients but also give back to the broader Boulder community. We’ve made it a priority to support local events and initiatives, continuously finding ways to contribute to causes that matter most to our neighbors. Whether through fundraising events, volunteer work, or simply being an active participant in community activities, Boulder Hair Collective is dedicated to making a positive impact in North Boulder and beyond.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
At Boulder Hair Collective, what sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to sustainable practices and meticulous attention to detail. We believe that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand, and we’ve built our salon around this philosophy. As a proud partner of Green Circle Salons, we ensure that up to 95% of our salon waste is recycled or repurposed, drastically reducing our environmental footprint. From the products we use to the way we manage our resources, every decision is made with the planet in mind. We carefully select eco-friendly, high-performance products that deliver outstanding results while being gentle on the environment. This dedication to sustainability is not just a trend for us; it’s a core value that influences everything we do.

Beyond our sustainable practices, our attention to detail is what truly elevates the Boulder Hair Collective experience. We believe that the small things make a big difference, whether it’s in the precision of a cut, the seamless blend of color, or the personalized care we provide to each client. Our team takes the time to understand your individual needs and desires, ensuring that every service is tailored specifically to you. We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming and luxurious environment where you can relax and trust that you are in expert hands. Every aspect of our salon is designed to enhance your experience, from the ambiance to the products we use, so that when you leave, you feel not only beautiful but also confident and cared for.

What truly sets Boulder Hair Collective apart is our deep-rooted commitment to both our clients and our community.
