The story of Green Opal Salon

Owner, Renee Dreshaj, had a vision of combining her two passions, which are creating hairstyles and preserving Mother Earth. In 2017, she opened her doors to her dream at 2850 Church Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio.

To preserve Mother Earth, her salon is a Green Circle salon. Every move they make is eco-conscious and strive to keep not just the earth beautiful, but you and your hair too! The salon consistently keeps 95% of their own waste out of landfills. 

Every Green Opal stylist is an enhanced professional. They offer a unique, tailored experience to each person by using techniques according to your hair type and facial structure, leading to the enhancement of your complete image, not just your hair.

THE SAUNA

The sauna will make you sweat out those toxins! Detoxification through sweat is part of the body’s elimination system and one of the best ways to detox your body.
