Showerthought: a stat sheet at the barber supply counter in Fresno said most cut hair goes in the trash and I can't stop thinking about it
I was waiting to pay for a new neck duster at the supply place on Blackstone in Fresno last week and there was this laminated sheet taped to the register about waste in salons. It said something like 60 percent of the hair swept up in a typical chair ends up bagged and tossed, and a bunch of shops are now donating it for oil spill mats and compost. I asked the guy behind the counter and he shrugged and said a customer from a shop downtown picks up their bags twice a week now. Tbh I never once thought about where my clippings go after I sweep them into the corner. Curious if any of you are bagging hair for donation or compost, and how you got your clients on board with it?
