Shade_Color_Studio's interests, passions, hobbies and favorite activities, etc.

I operate two green businesses. One of wich recieved four green leaves from Greenopia. The business is a hair salon called Shades. We use an all natural AMMONIA FREE permanent hair dye. The other business is the color line itself. The name of the color line is Susan Henrys Natural Color Process. Our mission is to provide you with a permanent color process that is naturally based, non-toxic, and most importantly, 100% ammonia-free

Journey Into Green:
How did Shade_Color_Studio come to be involved in Earth-conscious living?
I began experiencing symptoms of ammonia poising as a result of daily exposure to ammonia-based hair color. Unwilling to give up my profession and the sole means of support for my family, I continued to work despite debilitating rashes, eye infections, upper respiratory infections, and chronic bronchitis. Eventually I had to cut my client list from 500 to 50 select VIPs. I could only color my clients' hair outdoors and while wearing a mask. As a single mother with ailing health, life became a struggle. Around this time, I visited my daughter who was studying botany at Humboldt State. She took me on a tour of the nearby Redwoods Forest, and I was immediately inspired by the natural surroundings and my daughters new-found botanical knowledge. When I returned home I began experimenting with herbs and natural ingredients. After many long nights doing research at the library, and countless experiments in my kitchen sink, I developed my all-natural, 100% ammonia free, permanent color process.
