The Hair Garden is a member of the "Values-Based Business Network"

What We Do
The network is an affiliation of business people, non-profit leaders and educators dedicated to creating a sustainable business culture in the capital region. Our board and volunteer committee members include experts in marketing, communications, event planning, sustainable business, ethical investing, corporate social responsibility, social entrepreneurship and the environment.
The network's mission is to create a sustainable business culture in the capital region that will ultimately benefit all residents of the region. Our three areas of focus — education, networking and celebration — will give the tools, resources and skills necessary for success to anyone who desires them.
We provide a place where corporate social responsibility is celebrated, recognized and championed. In creating this context and space “more better and different” efforts will be realized. As a result the purpose of the organization will be fulfilled and all including the marginalized will benefit. That is to say, celebrating what it is that makes these enterprises unique — their commitment to people and planet as well as profits will in the end build “a local living economy” which benefits all.

I was there for the first time too last month - Jennifer was awesome!
She did an amazing job on my hair, really felt (and looked!) great after leaving there!

I had my hair cut at the Hair Garden and love it :D . I was open to a different style and left it to Jennifer. She gave me the perfect hair cut for my wash and go lifestyle while still looking feminine. Highly recommended.

Hi~

I wanted to give a huge thumbs up to Jennifer at Hair Garden for not only her expertise with cutting and colouring but also her generous spirit and kind heart. As well as being blessed with illness and pain in my body (keeping me humble :evil: ), I have weird hair with curls and a wave =P~ . Jennifer tried so hard to work with my hair and in the end we just cut it short :shock: And although my head has been very cold in this weather, I have received many compliments and will be returning to her as soon as I can for a colour. :D

Thank you Jennifer for everything. I wish you much success in your business and good luck on A Channel. I will tape the show and hope after that broadcast you still have time for me.

Happy New Year!
