This is the third year that Aveda distributors, the Neill Corporation and The Salon People and their salons have chosen the GRN as their Earth Month partner. We’re honored that so many people are willing to donate their time and money for the GRN. Aveda is a unique company that not only talks about protecting our environment, but takes every step they can to live by their commitment.Thanks Aveda!Briana Kerstein is the Director of Organizational Development
