About

Streak of Green was created to bring 'Harmony between Earth and hair.'

The salon is owner Nicole's own unique concept from the root to ends! At Streak of Green you will not have to give up quality or the latest styles. We are a full service hair salon delivering what you want while still maintaining your pH and integrity of your hair.

When you step into the salon you will smell clean, fresh air. Our atmosphere is very relaxing, comfortable and calming. Everyone knows we have to be more aware of how we take care of ourselves and the environment. Here are some ways Streak of Green is making a difference.

Every piece of cut hair is recycled into hair booms

All used PPE, extra colour, used foils, plastics and other products not recycled in Thunder Bay are sent away to be recycled instead of in the water ways or landfills

All our products contain NO sulfates, ammonia, parabens, plastics, phthalates animal by products or animal testing

Most products contain certified organic ingredients

Our salon concept keeps the environment in mind for everything we do and purchase
