Von Anthony Salon in Frisco has received their shipping instructions from Matter of Trust, a San Francisco-based non-profit, who is turning leftover hair and nail clippings into booms that help mop up oil once it hits the shore.
Owner Kerry Hovland installed a central AirVac system a year ago when Von Anthony Salon was built. It was an eco-friendly idea to conveniently collect hair to be recycled into mats used to clean up oil spills.
Clean hair it transported from the floor/baseboards through a vacuum and collected in a canister at the back of the salon.
Owners Kerry Hovland and Amy Kott-Hovland along with their stylists, are excited to be able to be a part of the clean-up of this disaster.
"We have never been prouder to be salon professionals."
Kerry has shipped two large boxes of hair. Each week Matter of Trust will send the salon a different address to send donated hair.
Your hair cut is a lifesaver!
