Minardi Color Perfect Lighting, by Eco-Lite Products, LLC, has just been selected as a recommended lighting manufacturer in the National Association of Eco-Friendly Salons and Spas™ Source Guide. The National Association of Eco-Friendly Salons & Spas™ is the first association in the United States designed to build a community of environmentally friendly, socially responsible salon and spa owners. Its purpose is to be the source of information, presented in an organized format, to assist those who are concerned about the impact their salon or spa has on the environment. The NAEFSS Sustainability Certifications provide standards for build-out, operations and maintenance for eco-friendly salons and spas.
“We could not be prouder of our inclusion in this fantastic new resource for salon owners … what Tamara Jercha, President of the National Association of Eco-Friendly Salons & Spas™, and her team are doing is not only beneficial to the salon and spa industry, it is great for the environment.” said Howard Gurock, co-president of Eco-Lite Products. Every day we get calls from more and more salon owners who purchase our salon lighting in order to follow through on their commitment to going green, added Gurock.
Jercha, who was instrumental in having Minardi Color Perfect Lighting included in the salon and spa guide, is simplifying the ability for salons and spas to go green. According to Jercha “When there are too many choices or paths to take, a person gets a sense of information overload and becomes paralyzed. They do nothing because they don’t know where to start. The National Association of Eco-Friendly Salons & Spas TM (NAEFSS) will help you get GOING GREEN off your to do list.”
Eco-Lite Products was so impressed with Jercha and her association that Jeff Gasman, co-president of Eco-Lite, invited her to be a guest contributor in the August 2009 issue of C.U.T.S., the monthly e-newsletter of Minardi Color Perfect Lighting. The NAEFSS is “… the exact type of organization that we want to be associated with. We both share the same commitment to the environment” said Gasman.
Eco-Lite Products is currently in the final stages of development of several new energy efficient lighting fixtures for its Minardi Color Perfect Lighting division. The new fixtures are all eco-friendly, color perfect and will be a great addition to the fantastic salon light fixtures we already produce for the industry, said Gurock.
