Bangz Salon and Wellness Spa, located in the heart of downtown Montclair, New Jersey, first opened its door to the public in 1994. Having had 15 successful years in its original location, in 2009, the salon relocated to a beautifully renovated 19th Century Masonic Temple on South Fullerton Avenue now celebrating 10 years on this restored historic location.
In honor of Bangz’ 25th anniversary, the salon will join forces with Green Circle Salons, which provides the world’s first, and North America’s only, sustainable solution to the excess amount of waste that is produced by salons. Green Circle Salons helps salons go green by recovering and repurposing up to 95% of the resources that were once considered beauty waste – materials such as hair, leftover hair color, foils, color tubes, aerosol cans, paper, and plastics. As a member of the Green Circle Salons, Bangz will be part of the mission to transform waste into a desirable commodity through an award-winning platform built by the industry, for the industry. As responsible stewards of the planet and members of Green Circle Salons, Bangz will be a leader in sustainability by creating healthier communities, conscious conversation around waste, and a more vibrant and cleaner Earth.
Dominic Sansevero and Richard Cronk, the salon founders and owners, have both spent their entire careers immersed in the beauty industry. Together, they had a dream to build not only a haven for beauty and wellness, but to create a pillar for their community. “We could not be more proud of Bangz Salon and Wellness Spa over these 25 years,” says Cronk. “More than two decades later, our vision has come to life, completely exceeding our expectations of excellence.”
“We had a dream to not only run a premier salon and spa, but to create a strong community for our employees and our clients,” says Sansevero. “We plan to continue this mission for another 25 plus years and we thank our clients and our team for making it all possible.”
Philanthropy runs deep in the veins of Bangz Salon and Wellness Spa. Not only have they committed to going green but, for years, Bangz has been committed to giving back through their Bangz Better World Foundation, which supports New Jersey charities and other non-profit partnerships. With movable stations in the salon, Bangz is able to host incredible events that benefit their community and local charities such as Diva for a Day, Shelter our Sisters, Essex Home for Battered Women, Breast Cancer Foundation, American Heart Association, and the Salvation Army – to name a few. Bangz also supports charity through a favorite, organic skin care product line, Eminence Organic Skin Care, and their mission to save lives and build a cleaner world.
