More couples are choosing to make their weddings organic and eco-friendly—and
fashionable

Upside of up-do’s
Joe Carling, a hairdresser for 16-years and the man that many Seattle brides
go to for beautification on their big day, notices a similar trend. “I
think that as time goes by, going green and organic will take off even more,” says Carling, who as owner and head stylist
of the Organic Mode salon is committed to offering healthy alternatives to the harsh chemicals that plague the beauty industry.
“People are just now becoming aware of what is available.”
Carling works at Mode Organic, voted Seattle Magazine’s, best salon
in 2005—and not just in the green category. Similarly, Carling won best stylist and best colorist designations. He is
renowned for his up-do’s.
Mode Organic offers one of the only ammonia-free hair coloring systems in
Washington and is a full-service spa that pampers conscious brides with organic facials and bridal spa parties featuring organic.
Carling notes that when clients are educated and given the choice—toxic
chemicals or plant-based products,—not surprisingly, they make the choice to change.

Uncompromising Beauty
Organics come to the salon

There is something so terribly wrong about inhaling toxic fumes all in the
name of beauty. How many times have you held your breath and endured watering eyes while altering the color of your hair or
getting a pedicure?
At Mode Organic Salon (www.modehairart.com; 206-623-0195, with locations in downtown Seattle and the Roosevelt district,
clients have access to some of the safest, most natural and effective beauty products on the market.
“It is exciting,” says Joe Carling, owner of Seattle’s
Mode Organic Salons, referring to Organic Colour Systems Hair Color from London, which smells like crushed rose petals and
is renowned as the safest and most natural hair color in the world. “It is exciting to find something new that works
just as well [as more toxic hair colors] with the same benefits—you get the same results. It is a very innovative product.”
Carling has spent more than 10 years researching products that are not only
natural and organic but also yield real results. In addition to natural hair color, the salon carries: Pureology haircare
products, which are 100% vegan with organic ingredients and no sulfates; Eminence Organic skin care and Colorescience micronized
mineral makeup, a celebrated natural cosmetic. Mode also provides less toxic manicures and pedicures with Zoya natural nail
lacquer, the safest and longest wearing natural nail polish in the world.
