I was born and raised by the sea, and to this day I consider water to be my medicine. Since arriving in the city of Bristol in 2016 I have embarked on a deep journey with myself through the lens of yoga. I am a trained advanced yoga teacher and an artist working in symbolic abstract form. I am fully trained in hair, and have been practicing for over 15 years. My deepest passion is to find harmony, and this is woven in everything I do.
Where my artistic flare started
Ever since I was a young girl I had a fascination with textures, colours, shapes, movement and hair. I spent hours upon hours playing with my dollies hair, often cutting it…. Then getting upset that it didn’t grow back! Im a little wiser now :) I was always excited by the visual creation of cutting hair, I had a natural flare it seems.
Where I am now
Fast forward 30 years and I consider myself a Holistic Hair Consultant, along side an Advanced Yoga Teacher and Artist. I like to call myself a consultant because I work with clients to achieve long term health and wellbeing with their hair. I explore things such as lifestyle, current relationship with hair, product use, emotional aspects often connected to hair, desires and what is achievable. We work on long term goals, short term goals and bringing clarity on unachievable goals. I will aim to make a plan if one is needed, and work together with you. I have clear boundaries I work within, this enables me to work safely for both myself and client.
Colour services
I do work with colour, and only offer certain services that stay within the health of the hair, this means I work in a much softer way with colour, enhancing what you already have. Or supporting a slow journey away from colour usage all together.
Renee is the most experienced and refined hair stylist working at Tame the Mane, with thirty years as a full-time stylist! We are all in awe of her skills.
Having owned her own salon for a long while in Maine, USA, she has been an invaluable addition to our team and a fountain of knowledge on all things herbal and curls.
Not to mention, she is a wizard with the clippers and can do a fade without leaving a millimetre out of place! She makes all her own natural products too that are marvellous and leave clients wanting more.
Lucy comes from a gardening background, which has instilled in her a love for holistic and natural approaches to hair care. She is passionate about curly cutting and natural hair care and loves nothing more than helping clients transition to natural products and ditch the chemicals.
Lucy has a creative eye and enjoys using her artistic skills to help communicate ideas. Choose ‘Lucy’s Vision restyle’ for a new look designed specifically for you, your hair type and your lifestyle. With an appreciation of natural beauty Lucy will craft a cut that’s tailor made for YOU.
Lucy takes her time with each client, listening to understand each clients needs and cutting with care to ensure she gets the cut and style just right. Book in for a chop with her on Wednesdays or Thursdays and let her work her magic!
Since opening the salon I have unsuspectingly become known for my curly cuts. I love big wild bushy manes, probably because I have always envied them. Despite that, I also deal with fine hair (like my own) and if you (like me) only want the tiniest trim because your hair grows slowly (sigh, like mine) I am your woman!
Battering my hair to death a few years ago after over a decade of abusing it was one of the best things that could have happened to me, although I didn’t realise at the time. Hair has always been an obsession/passion. Somehow, through this near catastrophe I became obsessed with the “No-Poo” method and started obsessively studying herbalism and brewing concoctions to try to fix what I had done. I am so glad I did as it set me on the path to want to help others to do the same.
Assisting others on their journey to ditching the bottled products and saving money AND plastic, is where I want to be.
Every day since I opened the doors in October 2017 I have felt incredibly grateful, I enjoy every working day, get to meet amazing people in my local community, learn, teach, grow and see your hair getting better and better with each visit.
We are incredibly lucky to have Faye with us at Tame the Mane. With 17 years experience including 10 years at Toni and Guy she is an experienced stylist with an eye for detail.
Faye is great at listening and giving advice on restyles and shapes that will suit her clients, so they feel super confident and special throughout.
Even though Faye has a more commercial hairdressing background her interest in natural hair care has been growing over the past years in line with her work in Ayurvedic life coaching including massage therapist and yoga teaching.
She is currently doing in house training on cutting curly hair and natural products.
Our colour expert…you won’t find a deeper knowledge at Tame the Mane for colour aspects. Furthermore this lady knows her herbs and is a wise woman with a desire to be kind to your hair throughout the colour service too.
She has a penchant for vivid colours and vibrant vibes all around.
Concentrating on colour only, Clo is bringing some magic to our Manes throughout the seasons.
Catch her in the salon two days a week currently, while she moonlights from her own business Clos Roots and Rituals, where she grows plants to use for her marvellous magic potions.
Our in house trainee is mastering curls at a rapid rate. She is super friendly and hospitable. Her passion for aesthetics stems from all aspects of visual design, as well as floristry, making her a divine stylist in the making.
Having absorbed education from EIGHT seasoned stylists at Tame the Mane since May 2022, you are in safe hands.
Chloe is also enthusiastic for colouring as she loves painting, of course!

I have been a hair stylist for 7 years now. Training in several Bristol salons, before setting up my own mobile business, I have now found my home at Tame the Mane.
I have worked in collaboration with Lara for 3 years now helping to build what I believe is a truly progressive project. I love the collaboration process of hairdressing and helping to make people look and feel great in themselves.
Cutting curls is a true joy at Tame the Mane and helping curly girls (and boys) who have had years of terrible haircuts really makes my job worthwhile. As the salon’s senior colour technician I can help create colours specifically for you and colour your cut to make it pop. Or blend in beautiful greys so you can rock your grey hair without it feeling drab while softening stark roots.
At Tame the Mane, hair health is at the centre of what we do so ‘sometimes less is more’ is our motto. That way your hair can look great and stay feeling great too! In the role of manager, it has been a joy to bring new stylists into the team and teach them, just the way Lara taught me about natural, holistic hair care, curly cutting, and how it is possible to have a judgement-free, relaxing salon experience.

Steph is a talented hair stylist who may come across as quiet and unassuming, but don't be fooled. She is incredibly motivated and driven, making her an invaluable member of the team at Tame the Mane.
Straight after completing her NVQ in hairdressing, Steph dove right into a course on theatrical hair and makeup. This has allowed her to think creatively with her clients and produce unique, eye-catching styles.
Steph has completed her in-house training at Tame the Mane, and has since produced fantastic work with colours and all types of cutting and natural hair care.
Steph is now a full-time stylist at Tame the Mane and has built a great local client base. She is dedicated to her craft and strives to ensure her clients leave the salon feeling confident and happy with their new look.

She can give advice on the best products to use for natural hair care and transition to chemical-free hair care. She is particularly skilled at helping clients make the transition to natural products and giving advice on how to care for curly hair.

I have been trained in the 90s and continued part-time since then. I focus on listening to my clients, regardless of age or neurodiversity, and making sure they are happy with the result.
My approach is to prioritize the client's needs and ensure their happiness with the result.
I use intuitive cutting techniques to create styles that are easy to care for and work well with the hair texture.
I have a long-term interest in natural hair care products and have worked at an eco soap shop. I have been using "no poo" techniques since 2010 and continue to learn about alternative options.
I am confident with all hair types and styles, and am currently updating my skills by learning more about the Curl Cutting approach and the colour range at Tame the Mane.
