Monroe’s Salon Aponte recently marked 35 years of bringing healthier beauty solutions to the community. Led by eco-conscious owner Nancy Aponte, the salon has become a leader in safer hair care, offering expert highlighting and balayage techniques while prioritizing non-toxic products.

Aponte’s journey into clean beauty began with a personal wake-up call. “I was applying color, and the ammonia went straight into my lungs,” she recalls. “I knew it couldn’t be good for me.” This realization sparked a gradual overhaul of her salon’s products, replacing conventional formulas with organic, low-VOC and cruelty-free alternatives.

Today, Salon Aponte carries safer hair color options and vegan, eco-friendly brands like Current Hair Care, which uses reef-safe marine ingredients, and Neuma, a California-based company that plants a tree for every product sold. Aponte also partners with RPM (Relief, Protection, Moisture) to offer pharmaceutical-grade CBD hair and body care for enhanced wellness.

Beyond hair care, Salon Aponte embraces a holistic approach to beauty and wellness. The team educates clients on the benefits of using cleaner products, empowering them to make healthier choices in their daily routines. “Beauty should never come at the cost of well-being,” Aponte says. “We believe in enhancing natural beauty while being mindful of our health and the planet.”

New clients receive a goody bag with rebooking incentives and gifts. Online shopping for safer hair care is available at Shop.SalonInteractive.com/store/salonaponte.
