LIVINGSTON, NJ (April 24, 2014) — Dieci Uomo, the first and only LEED certified salon in NJ, will be celebrating Earth Day with a Happy Hour later in the week on Thursday, April 24, 2014 from 5-8PM! Dieci Uomo is a salon exclusively for men just 5 miles from the women’s location in Livingston and is the only salon in NJ certified by The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), a rating program developed by U.S. Green Building Council.
Happy Hour attendees will enjoy a Signature Shave for $35, regularly $50, and complimentary Express Manicure, Shoe Shine and Chair Massage. The ultimate experience is provided with a selection of cigars from Fume Cigar and delicacies from Calabria Restaurant to accompany live music and complimentary drinks available throughout! A rooftop discussion and demo on Botox will also be held by Dr. Allen D. Rosen & PA Stephanie Rosen.
At the center of the project to develop an exceptional relaxing experience for men’s grooming was sustainability which goes hand-in-hand with wellness and a healthy lifestyle. After reconstructing the 1970’s building from the ground-up with green initiatives at the forefront of planning, Dieci Uomo is now the only certified salon in New Jersey by The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), a rating program developed by U.S. Green Building Council. In order to raise awareness and inspire fellow businesses to follow suit on green initiatives, Dieci Uomo is underway to surpass standard certification and become the first and only LEED Silver-Certified salon in New Jersey.
In order to enhance the experience for clients practices have been implemented from each of the five categories in the LEED points program including Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources and Indoor Environment Quality. Under Sustainable Sites a highly reflective TPO membrane on the roof was built along with light porcelain tiles on the pedestal system allowing protection and drainage to the membrane below. This combination reduces energy required to control indoor space by minimizing heat transfer or Heat Island Effect. From energy saving hot water tanks to low flow toilets and indigenous plants on the property, the water use has been drastically reduced for increased Water Efficiency. With zero use of CFC-based refrigerants which contribute to ozone depletion and global climate change, they have attained superior Energy & Atmosphere and the ventilation system at Dieci Uomo also exceeds Indoor Environment Quality expectations. Finally, for Materials & Resources, recycled materials were used during the building process including sheetrock, countertops, steel studs, framing, porcelain tiles and cultured stone exterior.
Men’s grooming is a growing market and with the increasing of focus on wellness, Dieci Uomo delivers a truly special eco-friendly experience for youthful, healthy and elite male treatments.
