about us

Hairy Jayne is an eco-friendly hair care brand founded by a hairdresser. Handmade with natural ingredients & essential oils.

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, sustainable 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 are found here, (especially after learning how little plastic is actually recycled).

What matters to us

Life is not all about having great hair that smells really nice :)

Being as eco-friendly as possible matters a lot to us. We hate single use plastic – all of our packaging is either plastic free, biodegradable, refillable or 100% recyclable. 

We plant trees and reduce our carbon with Ecologi. Our products are made with 100% vegan ingredients and are 100% cruelty free. We source our natural ingredients from suppliers based in the UK.

We use renewable energy in the studio to make our sustainable hair care (mixed and packaged with human hands). We re-use any postal packaging where we can and send our plastic waste off to be re-formed at ReFactory.

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 hand makes 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 'margins'. Fancy plant oils, vegan and cruelty free ingredients and fragrances with delicious essential oils, every time.

A lover of creativity, her design and illustration background has come in very handy for the branding and packaging. She also regularly hosts "scent-sational" hands-on workshops in her Bristol studio to share her natural ingredients knowledge.

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