Luxury and sustainability can — and should — coexist. At Pileggi on the Square, we’re redefining what it means to be a modern luxury salon by committing to eco-conscious beauty that cares as much for the planet as it does for your hair.
A Greener Future for Philadelphia’s Salon Scene
For decades, “luxury” meant indulgence without much thought about impact. But today, true luxury is rooted in mindfulness — using high-performance products, ethical practices, and intentional design to create an experience that’s beautiful in every sense.
That’s why Pileggi is proud to partner with Green Circle Salons, a global leader in salon sustainability. This partnership allows us to dramatically reduce our environmental footprint — and be part of a movement changing how salons around the world do business.
1. The Green Circle Difference
Through our partnership with Green Circle Salons, we’re able to recover and recycle up to 95% of our salon waste — everything from hair clippings and foils to color tubes, plastics, and even used gloves.
Instead of ending up in landfills or waterways, these materials are repurposed into products that help rebuild communities and restore ecosystems. For example:
-
Hair clippings are used to help clean up oil spills.
-
Metals are melted down and reused.
-
Plastics are turned into reusable items and composite materials.
Every service you enjoy at Pileggi contributes to that cycle of renewal — turning beauty waste into something meaningful.
2. Eco-Friendly Products with Proven Results
We’ve carefully chosen product lines that align with our environmental values, offering clients the best of both worlds: performance and purpose. Our color and styling products feature:
-
Plant-based, biodegradable ingredients
-
Cruelty-free testing
-
Recyclable or minimal packaging
Our stylists will help you create a home routine that keeps your hair healthy while keeping your conscience clear.
3. Reducing Water & Energy Use
Every day, we make conscious choices to lower our environmental impact:
-
Water-saving shampoo fixtures to reduce waste without sacrificing comfort
-
LED lighting for energy efficiency and ambiance
-
Energy-efficient dryers and appliances to conserve electricity
Even our laundry process uses biodegradable detergents and reduced water cycles — small choices that add up over time.
4. Sustainable Style, Every Step of the Way
Sustainability isn’t just a service—it’s our culture. We’ve integrated eco-conscious practices into daily operations:
-
Digital booking and paperless receipts
-
Reusable color bowls and brushes
-
Local sourcing whenever possible
-
Ongoing stylist education in sustainable beauty practices
Each visit supports a greener, cleaner Philadelphia—one haircut, one highlight, one thoughtful choice at a time.
5. Beauty That Gives Back
By choosing Pileggi on the Square, you’re joining a community that believes in beauty with purpose. Together with Green Circle Salons, we’re proving that luxury can be sustainable, and that every small act of care—recycling a foil, refilling a shampoo bottle, choosing a cleaner product—creates a ripple effect for good.
Because when beauty and responsibility come together, everyone shines brighter.
