Perfection is impossible!
We’re diving deep into the massive problem of plastic packaging in the beauty world—from the salon back bar to your shower at home.
@celestethestylist sits down with Dawna, co-founder of Refill Mercantile , a low-waste refillery dedicated to sustainable alternatives.
Dawna cuts through the greenwashing to expose how big retailers are misusing plastic, giving us a confusing and broken recycling system.
Crucially, we discuss how the philosophy of "progress, not perfection" can empower both hairstylists and consumers to make small, impactful changes that create real change.
In this episode, you will learn:
For the Stylist/Salon: Actionable steps to reduce plastic waste in laundry, client retail, and back-bar essentials.
For the Consumer: How to shop smarter, the truth about product recycling, and how to start your personal refill journey.
The Refillery Model: Why community-based refill shops like Refill Mercantile are the future of low-waste living.
It doesn't take perfection to make a difference—it just takes a first step.
