Our Amazing, 100% Recycled, Reclaimed, and Recyclable Booth at America’s Beauty Show

Recently, we used this year’s America’s Beauty Show in Chicago as an opportunity to flaunt our sustainability and support our claim of being the most comprehensive, eco-conscious hair care brand available.

Even next to the monumental, three story stages boasting high rise rigging with nightclub quality sound systems and light displays, it was hard not to be proud of our booth. Our measly 10′ by 20′ display was intricately designed to maximize our space while remaining within our eco-conscious ethics. Created in Biddeford Maine by Sterling Morse, the structure is based on three materials; reclaimed wood, recycled metal, and recycled/recyclable cardboard. The wood and metal were harvested from scrap yards and dumps in Maine, while the cardboard was a meticulously engineered honeycomb design that maximized durability and strength while minimizing weight. The booth is designed for minimum-energy set up, meaning that it could be put up and taken apart as efficiently, with the smallest carbon footprint possible.

The structure itself is split into two parts; a 10′ by 10′ conference room consisting of four honeycomb cardboard walls covered by hand-sewn and dyed fabric, and a 10′ by 10′ L – shaped stage made from reclaimed wood and stacked cardboard cash-counter. On the stage we had two salon chairs where our three Use Me stylists gave professional blow-outs to lucky beauty show patrons. All in all is was a major success and it was great to see how captivated and inquisitive people were in both the booth and in being a sustainable, eco-friendly company.

Amazing Before and After’s From America’s Beauty Show

A select few at Americas Beauty Show in Chicago were fortunate enough to feel the full effects of Use Me’s eco-chic luxury products. Our 100% recylced and recylcable booth was constructed to support two mini hair stations. It was amazing to watch as our expert stylists completely transformed these women in less than 45 minutes. All of us at the show were moved by the fact that some were even brought to tears by their new hair, achieving looks they never thought possible. Needless to say, every model bought product.

Why Use ME?

Why Use Me?

We are a line of hair care products that is all about natural ingredients, eco-smart packaging and giving back to create a better, cleaner world. The product line was developed by salon entrepreneurs because they were tired of companies promising and selling one thing and, after experiencing a few years of success, changing the game by becoming part of a larger concern.

Additionally, the founders set out to create a line that was/is good enough to eat… these vegan products are sulfate free and are harmless on all fronts – body and earth. They work incredibly well and are the definition of sustainability because once the initial bottle is purchased, the packaging can be re-used at a specially and consciously constructed salon-based Filling Station (See Here).

The products:

• contain organic ingredients.
• are created for all types of hair.
• are pleasantly scented and not overly perfumed.
• were created by salon professionals.
• work.
• come in eco-friendly reusable packaging.

For the salon owner:

“Use Me is the coolest line I’ve seen in years… their natural products really work and I love the reaction my customers have when they find out that they don’t cost an arm and a leg to use (beauty in this case does not have its price) and that the shampoos, conditioners and styling products can be re-filled right here. Oh, and the fact that I can sell the re-fill bar as furniture to my clients is kinda cool, too.”

• 100% natural & organic, vegan ingredients, not overly scented, eco-friendly great scented products that work.
• Tested and used at a salon on humans, no animal testing ever.
• 100% post-consumer waste packaging that is re-useable, re-filled at salon-based enviro-friendly re-fill bar.
• Created by salon professionals who care as much about beauty as they do about mother earth.
• Use Me products work, they are smart and mark the beginning of a revolution in hair care that considers, profits, the environment and your clients’ budgets.

Why We Are Not Certified Organic

Many customers ask why we are not certified organic if we advertise organic ingredients. The answer is simple.

USE ME products are not YET certified organic because it is too expensive. To reduce waste and cost, our products are being made in a facility that makes other products as well. Organic certification is a very serious, meticulous process and we do not have the necessary funds to pay for an inspection for each batch of product. We can ensure our customers that our ingredients, while they do not come with a certification, are just as organic and natural as any other labeled brand.
