Shout Out Socal
No innovator has ever been successful without taking risks on some level. Our biggest risk was when we chose to stop selling a major professional product line to begin Element, our zero waste beauty product line, and open the first zero waste salon without a model of a successful and established one. We have learned that doing the right thing isn’t always the easiest.
