ATLANTA, Nov. 16, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The Beauty industry is often known for vanity - or beauty at any cost - including at the expense of the environment.

BeautyRecycled launched this past year to spread the spirit of sustainability throughout the beauty world through ambitious industry-wide initiatives promoting environmental consciousness, landfill avoidance and green growth opportunities.
BIRMINGHAM, AL - The Dillard's department store chain is the defendant in a federal class action lawsuit that was filed in April 2005, alleging racial discrimination and deceptive sales practices relating to the marketing and sale of beauty salon services. Dillard's continues to deny these charges, but several former hairstylists from Dillard's salons in Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee and Georgia confirm the racist practices alleged by plaintiffs. One of the most offensive positions taken by Dillard's is Dillard's contention that the hair of African Americans is dirtier than the hair of Caucasians.

Other current Dillard's stylists have submitted written declarations to the court, which contain statements such as "ethnic hair is harder to handle, coarser and breaks more easily." This statement comes from a stylist at Dillard's Madison Square Mall location in Huntsville, Ala., where plaintiff Sandra Moody experienced discrimination.

A Dillard's stylist from Florence, Ala., states, "I understand [ethnic hair] to mean African American hair, is usually difficult to work with and tending to be dry, coarse and frizzy." Such sweeping st...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- In a beauty salon bustling with an evening crowd, Molly Flores headed in to a place she's gotten to know well. The Tahoe Park, Calif., legal secretary and mother of two used to shell out $65 for a haircut. Then the economy squeezed the luxe out of her budget.

CLAREMONT - A new law that prohibits beauty salons from opening in Village storefronts was passed unanimously Tuesday by the City Council. Salons will now only permitted to open in second-floor or alley locations. The salon restrictions were introduced because city and Chamber of Commerce officials feared that with as many as 25 beauty salons in the Village, the district was losing is "balance" between retail and service shops.
[...] the department store was often a city unto itself, where shoppers--mostly women--would spend entire days, Whitaker said.
