Consumers are paying closer attention to what goes into their beauty products — and where salon waste ends up after every appointment.
On Monday, June 15, 2026, the Green Salon Impact Tour, presented by the Green Beauty Community Foundation, is coming to Myrtle Beach to bring together salon professionals, cosmetology students, wellness advocates, and community members for a free educational experience focused on clean beauty, sustainability, and the future of the beauty industry.
This special event includes FREE technical education with Innersense Organic Beauty Educator Shayne Uphold, meaningful conversations around wellness and sustainable beauty, and a community beach cleanup that turns inspiration into action.
Hosted by BADDHARE Salon in partnership with Green Circle Salons, Innersense Organic Beauty, the Green Beauty Community Foundation, and Live On With Les, this event is designed to show how small changes inside salons can create a real environmental impact. Attendees will not only learn about sustainability; they’ll have the opportunity to put it into practice during a community beach cleanup along the Myrtle Beach coastline following the educational sessions.
Whether you’re behind the chair, still in cosmetology school, or simply passionate about wellness and environmentally friendly beauty practices, this event was created for you.

Rather than promoting one-size-fits-all solutions, the GBC focuses on building real systems that empower beauty professionals wherever they are.
