this what happens when an illustrator becomes a hairdresser, develops an allergy, then falls in love with essential oils...

Hairy Jayne isn’t *actually* hairy

Hairy Jayne is an eco-friendly hair care brand, founded and formulated by a hairdresser. Handmade with natural ingredients and essential oils, Jayne also designs the labels, graphics and illustrations herself. 

Founder Jayne, a hairdresser for almost 20 years (always covered in other peoples hair), now makes range of sustainable hair care. She only ever formulates with naturally derived and 'clean' ingredients – sulphate free shampoos, natural conditioners and hair oils featuring lovely plant oils and beautiful essential oil blends. Eco-friendly hair care for healthy, lovely-smelling hair, with plastic avoided as much as possible. Especially after learning how little plastic is actually recycled. 

What really matters 

Shiny, healthy hair matters, of course. But being as green and eco-friendly as possible matters a lot to us – all Hairy Jayne packaging is either plastic free, biodegradable, refillable or 100% recyclable. 

We source our natural ingredients from suppliers based in the UK. We plant trees and reduce our carbon footprint with Ecologi. Our products are made with 100% vegan ingredients and are 100% cruelty free. They're posted out completely plastic free. 

Any postal packaging we recieve is reused wherever possible and we send all studio plastic waste off to be re-formed at ReFactory. In the studio we use renewable energy. 

Meet Jayne

Jayne studied graphic design and illustration in Perth, Australia before moving to the UK in the late 90s. She decided to retrain as a hairdresser in 2001 and joined Trevor Sorbie in London. She then worked as a hairdresser in London for almost 20 years, caring for many heads of hair, and stared Hairy Jayne while freelancing. After moving to Bristol in 2019 she hung up her scissors to focus fully on her business.

Jayne's obsession with natural hair care came after buying some argan oil on a trip to Morocco, following bad reactions to black hair dye. Her curiosity snowballed from there, and after many short courses, she learnt how to formulate her own hair care recipes. To make the natural fragrances for them, she learned how to blend essential oils.
