This fall, The Cabinet Salon celebrates a milestone that feels both humbling and inspiring: 16 years on the corner of Queen & Portland in Toronto’s Queen Street West neighbourhood.

Over the years, The Cabinet has grown into just that: a welcoming salon in Toronto where clients, stylists, and local artists come together to share not only hair transformations, but stories, ideas, and inspiration.

In 2024 alone, The Cabinet Salon diverted an incredible 875 pounds of beauty waste from landfills and waterways. That’s hundreds of pounds of material that won’t pollute our environment, thanks to the award-winning Green Circle Salons program.

Green Circle Salons empowers salons like ours to offset emissions and recover beauty waste that was once considered unrecoverable. This includes hard-to-recycle items like hair clippings, foils, excess hair color, aerosol cans, and colour tubes—materials that would typically end up in landfills or waterways. By participating in this program, we’re taking an important step toward a more sustainable hair industry.
