about us

Hairy Jayne is an eco-friendly and creative hair care brand founded by a hairdresser – making small batches by hand and running fun hands-on workshops

Hairy Jayne isn’t *actually* hairy

Hairy Jayne lives, breathes and specialises in natural hair care. Jayne was once a hairdresser (always covered in other peoples hair) and now makes a small batch zero waste hair care range by hand. 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.

Hairy Jayne is all about eco-friendly hair care that makes hair feel and smell lovely. Simple and handmade, with as little plastic as possible. No plastic bottles here, especially since learning about how little plastic is actually recycled.

What matters to us

It's not all about having great hair and smelling really nice :)

All of our packaging is sustainable – either biodegradable, plastic free, 100% recyclable or refillable. We plant trees and reduce carbon with Ecologi. Our products are made with 100% vegan ingredients and are 100% cruelty free. We source ingredients from suppliers in the UK. We use renewable energy to make our sustainable hair care. We re-use postal packaging where we can and send any plastic waste off to ReFactory.

Creating, inspiring and sharing

While being sustainable is very important, creativity is the real heart of Hairy Jayne.

Jayne loves to share what she has learnt along the way, and wants to inspire you! Read her blogposts, download a free recipe pdf, follow her on Instagram or Pinterest or come to a hands-on workshop in Bristol.

She wants to make it as easy as possible for you to have the knowledge, ingredients and things to make your own simple beauty remedies at home and to love your hair.

Not only less wasteful, but super satisfying too.

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 fully focus on the business.

Her 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 recipes and blend essential oils for fragrance. 

Jayne now handmakes a whole range of award winning zero waste hair care, and she knows exactly what goes into every product. 

She carefully selects natural ingredients, rooted in hair science, that care more about your hair and our environment than 'the bottom line'. Nourishing plant oils, vegan and cruelty free ingredients and delicious fragrances made from essential oil blends. 

A believer in paying it forward, Jayne runs workshops in Bristol to share her knowledge of natural ingredients and blending. Hairy Jayne's Home Brew recipes are also designed to inspire others to get into DIY beauty and making natural concoctions at home.

Feel free to ask Jayne at any time for hair care or ingredient advice – she’s always happy to help.
