Community
We love to participate in community events like roadside trash cleanups and we’re always happy to support local charities. Our favorite charitable pastime is lending our skills and talents to styling for fundraising fashion shows.
In recent years, the cosmetology industry has been criticized for the use of products on animals, huge amounts of plastic waste, and an oversized ecological and water footprint. But, Studio 212 Salon strives to be part of the exception. Our commitment to giving back, paired with our partnership with Aveda, presents an idyllic form of the type of salon and vision our industry sorely needs more of.
To understand why, one only needs to read Aveda’s mission statement:
“Our mission at Aveda is to care for the world we live in, from the products we make to the ways in which we give back to society. At Aveda, we strive to set an example for environmental leadership and responsibility, not just in the world of beauty, but around the world.”

EARTH MONTH
April means one thing at the Studio 212: Aveda Earth Month! We’re fortunate to celebrate Earth Month in a very special way thanks to Aveda. Every year, Aveda chooses clean water organizations around the globe to support during Earth Month.
Over the past 13 years, Aveda salons and stylists have raised more than $3.8 million for the Alliance for the Great Lakes. This support has been indispensable in the Alliance’s work to protect the Great Lakes and we could not be more honored to help support such a great cause.
Studio 212 acknowledges the need for clean water beyond a facial or to rinse off conditioner. Operating under the belief that “clean water is a right for everyone, not a privilege,” Earth Month in April is our largest environmental effort, with a goal of raising money to help provide access to clean water both domestically and internationally.
Throughout Earth Month, look for posts on our website and social media for ways you can help join us in protecting clean water.
BLOODIES & BRAIDS
In 2017, Studio 212 began Bloodies and Braids in hopes of giving back to our local community. Every summer, we invite our friends, families and guests to gather together and share a Bloody Mary or two while we raise money for a family in need. We raise donations by creating beautiful and unique braids.
Our vision with Bloodies and Braids is to encourage our community to give back and inspire self worth & dignity for those who need it most by giving to a local family who could use our help.
We hope you will stop by and join us the next time we host this fun charitable event! Follow Studio 212 on Facebook and Instagram to stay updated on when and where we will next host Bloodies and Braids.
ANIMALS AT STUDIO 212
Aveda is a cruelty-free brand. We do not test on animals and never ask others to do so on our behalf. Our products are ““people-tested.””
Being a cruelty-free brand is an important part of our mission to care for the world we live in and for those we live with, and has been since our founding in 1978.
We strive to set an example for leadership and responsibility of caring, not just in the world of beauty, but around the world. Our commitment to caring for animals and wildlife reaches far and wide. In fact, we live and breathe it.
BREAST CANCER MONTH
Every year during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Studio 212 helps raise money by offering a limited-edition of our best selling hand relief™ moisturizing creme. With each sale, we donate a portion of the purchase price to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF) for cruelty-free research ($5 of the purchase price in 2019).
BCRF is a nonprofit organization founded in 1992 by Evelyn H. Lauder and is the only national organization strictly dedicated to funding clinical and genetic research on breast cancer at medical institutions across the country. For more information about BCRF, visit bcrfcure.org.
