Join Kait in finding beauty waste that pays.
How the program pays for itself.
Once your program is set up, you control how it’s funded — and what it returns. Most salons turn sustainability into an additional revenue stream. There’s no required approach — just flexibility that fits your business model and your guests.
Most salons choose one of these simple models:
Built Into Service Pricing
Roll the cost into your existing service price.
- No extra line item
- Guests never see a separate fee
- You control the pricing
Itemized Green Fee
Add a small Green Fee as a separate line on the receipt.
- Clear and transparent for guests
- Easy to explain at checkout
- You choose the amount
Any funding model should be compliant with local consumer protection legislation.
How it works.
Choose your setup
Add a Green Fee, fold it into pricing, or fund it yourself. Your salon. Your rules.
Green Fee
With a Green Fee, guests see how your salon handles beauty waste responsibly — right there on the bill and in-salon.
Cover your costs
What comes in helps pay for your program — turning sustainability into something that supports your business.
Keep what’s left
Anything beyond your program costs is yours. Reinvest it or simply enjoy the extra margin.

What stylists and owners say.
When teams understand the impact behind the Green Fee, clients do too. Here’s how salons are turning a potential objection into a point of connection.
I tell every business owner about Green Circle. The program helps us create real environmental impact behind the scenes while attracting eco-conscious clients and sustainability-minded stylists. Our Green Fee even funds upgrades that strengthen both our operations and our values.

We’ve answered the ones we hear most from salons just like yours.
How does the program help salons become more sustainable and profitable?
The program helps salons reduce waste with built-in training, verified recovery systems, and flexible funding options. Many salons are able to cover program costs—and even create a new revenue stream—while offering guests a more responsible salon experience. Salons can also access trusted partners for additional sustainability tools.
How can I cover the ongoing costs of the program?
Many salons cover program costs by introducing a small Green Fee or building it into service pricing. This approach allows sustainability to fund itself, while giving salons flexibility to choose what works best for their business and guests. Any funding model should be compliant with local consumer protection legislation.
Can I use my loyalty points from my product lines to pay for the program?
Yes—many salons can use loyalty points or brand incentives to help cover program costs.
