Your foils. A local recycler. A SOHO scholarship.
Collect your used foils in a lined foil box. We will pick them up free, recycle them, and convert the proceeds into scholarships for SOHO Hair Academy students.
Humans Over Hair. Do Something Beautiful.
Getting started is simple. Drop your used hair foils in the box we provide. Let us know when it's full and we'll handle the rest. Aluminum doesn't grow on trees, and it can be recycled again and again. We'd rather keep your used hair foils out of the landfill and put them back to work.
It arrives lined with a bag and ready to use. Keep it where your team already works.
After color services, simply drop used hair foils into the container. No sorting or special prep required.
Compact it as you go so the bag holds more. Send a pickup request. We'll schedule a time to pick up your bags.
We collect the foils, take them to a local metal recycler, and turn the proceeds into scholarships for SOHO Hair Academy students.
Keeping the box as pure aluminum foil helps the recycler process it cleanly and maximizes the value that goes toward SOHO Hair Academy scholarships.
Every dollar earned from the aluminum we collect through Foils For The Future goes directly toward scholarships for students at SOHO Hair Academy. As the program grows and we better understand the volume of foil and cans our local salons and suites can gather, we'll use those funds to help students with tuition, tools, supplies, or other education-related costs. Recycling aluminum keeps a valuable metal out of the landfill and turns everyday salon waste into real support for the next generation of stylists.
Scholarships that help cover tuition, kit supplies, or other costs that help students complete their education.
As more salons join and we collect more material, the scholarship fund grows, turning more foil and cans into more opportunities for students.
We're currently measuring participation so we can determine the size and number of scholarships we'll be able to award. Every pound collected moves us closer.
Request an aluminum can box to multiply the difference you make for students.
We are thrilled you're already collecting used hair foils with us. Now you can do even more.
While foils earn 15 cents per pound for scholarships, aluminum cans bring in 55 cents per pound.
With our new custom container, you can easily collect both. Simply add your empty cans alongside the foils, and every extra pound goes straight toward more scholarships for SOHO Hair Academy students while keeping even more aluminum out of the landfill.
