Customers that are local to Church Barber in San Francisco regularly return each glass jar and bottle in exchange for $3 off their next purchase.
Non-local customers like to build up to five or more jars and then send back all at one time, and we apply $3 per jar toward their rebate (5 jars = $15 off, 10 jars = free pomade).
Rebates apply to skincare as well: $3 for larger bottles (cleanser), and $2 for smaller bottles (face oils, serums).
The SWAP program allows us to reuse our pomade jars and glass bottles, giving them another cycle of life, rather than simply recycling them. By sending your glass back to us, you’re participating in this lifecycle together with us.
Beyond the SWAP program, we commit to sustainability in the following ways:
Whenever creating a new product, we aim for the most sustainable packaging and product delivery system possible - this is what led us to our zero waste shampoo and conditioner bars.
All of our packaging materials are 100% compostable, and we offset the transportation emissions of every order placed by making a donation to forestry projects, through our partner DotNeutral.
We ship using the United States Postal Service, which means we’re utilizing existing postal routes and not creating a new process just to get your package to you.
We save and re-use all packaging materials we receive. We especially love big boxes - we use them for wholesale orders!
We strive to operate a zero waste barbershop at Church Barber.
PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
Our foremost mission is to create natural styling products that are high performance and work better than more conventional, lab-made products. We want to make it a no-brainer for you to toss out chemical based hair and grooming products and embrace our natural alternatives, without sacrificing the results you want. If you’re not satisfied with your products, we will happily refund you, less the cost of shipping.
Note: Some customers find that using multiple Church products in tandem with each other provides the perfect result for their unique hair and styling needs. Trying with and without water, or comparing performance with completely dry hair versus towel dry hair, to find your preference, is also recommended.
