Our Responsible Adventures Together
Seeing and experiencing the world as we travel helps us realize how important it is to become more mindful and make better choices
The more we see the world, the more we want to take care of it.
We have the chance to reshape the way we travel, start anew, and choose a more sustainable path to our next adventure.
Sustainability is an ongoing journey
At Wink Laser Studio, our love for travel has helped us focus on making better choices and be more responsible.
As we strive to make your journeys better, we recognize that we can be part of the solution— no matter how small, every little bit of effort counts.
Discover some of the fuss-free sustainable practices that we do at all Wink locations.
Moving forward...
We have come to a sad and hard decision to discontinue the usage of waxing supplies to prevent more waste to the environment and to completely focus our services on being more mindful and sustainable.
We are using our last set of wax supplies and we will no longer replenish and accommodate waxing sessions at any Wink location once our supplies are completely consumed.
We began offering our Wax services in 2012 and would like to thank each and every client who has chosen to do their Waxing treatment with us.
Is Getting Laser-ed More Sustainable Than Shaving?
While it's not entirely waste-free, compared to shaving the waste you throw out is drastically less
Shaving
A woman will shave 7,718 times her lifetime
A disposable razor will last 2 weeks
A woman shaves 1-2 times a week
2(weeks) x 2(shaves per week) = 4 shaves in 2 weeks
WASTE: 7,718 (average shaves in a lifetime)/ 4(shaves in weeks) = 1,929.5 razors
Laser Hair Removal
1 session = 1 disposable razor
Average number of sessions needed 6-12 sessions
6-12 sessions = 6-12 disposable razors
More permanent option
WASTE: 6-12 razors
Come with us on our journey to plant trees
A more meaningful gift that will surely make a difference not only in our adventures but also for our future—one tree at a time!
As much as we would like to continue gifting items that you can take anytime and anywhere, we realized that producing them in quantity requires a lot of water, fuel, and cut-down trees. We believe in the impact of our choices and that choosing a more sustainable route to offer a more meaningful gift will make a significant difference in our next adventures.
We are excited to share that we have partnered with One Tree Planted, a non-profit tree planting charity that plant trees in countries around the world, to donate planted trees in the Philippines.
Together with One Tree Planted, we will be helping the B’llaan Tribe restore deforested land into the rainforest in the Mount Matutum Protected Area - a haven for endangered wildlife and an important watershed; plant forests of giant bamboo in Mindanao in a community-led effort to facilitate sustainable bamboo agroforestry and sequester carbon; and restore mangroves ecosystems vital for coral reefs and countless other species.

In place of our previous birthday gifts that were mass-produced overseas, we have decided to redirect our path towards a more meaningful and sustainable offering.

We will be making quarterly donations using our allocated birthday gift budget that was previously used for client birthday gifts. 😉✌🏽
-
The time between our donation and the actual tree planting will vary between many factors. Planting usually happens during the rainy season, when the soil provides optimum conditions for tree survival.

Through our newsletters, we will be sending you our progress reports to update you with photos and information provided by our reforestation partners. Make sure to subscribe to our newsletters via the link below. 😉✌🏽
