🌙 Our sacred space where women gather, grow, share, rejoice…needed some fresh and inspiring Art.
🌊 🪸 I really felt that much of the work from Nicole Revy encapsulates that feeling of women gathering, growing, sharing, rejoicing…I love it, and its a constant reminder to me of how powerful and wondrous we are. 💥 🌞 💥

Have stocked a few gorgeous greeting cards too, so that you can take a bit of that home with you and share it 😊😌🥰

💜😻Didn’t share these photos months ago for fear of someone saying something negative about the fact the hair wasn’t fully dry yet in the pics, and had a little bit of wet frizz…FFS. 😆
The video shows it in actual action though and it looks AMAZING. 💯
As always…styled with our lusciously silky, light and nourishing, in house made, Land & Sea Gel/serum.

Wrote a blog post with Faye for the very lovely Seed SistAs about our herbal “Shampoo Tea” Blend. 🫖🌿
Faye sent me her gorgeous pic of her in her new salon and I realised I don’t really have a single photo of me in the last 5/6 years in my beautiful space. 😔 I dont love being photographed.

So my 5 year old son came in with me today and I asked him to “photoshoot” me. He absolutely smashed it I would say. 🥰🫶 as someone who rarely likes pics of themselves, he took several I loved. My new photographer it would seem, get him on payroll asap?! 😅🤣

Words hard to find for this one…I/we did a ceremonial cut for a friend and long term client. She brought soul sisters, words and intentions and over the course of several hours we carved a new version of Rosie that is…truly sublime. 🌟 💡 🌅 Thrilling to witness ☀️

Only sharing a few pics here as will do more posts about this when words come to me. Need some more fab pics of her incredible new style after we combed out dreads!! 🥰 stunning 🤩
It was soul satisfyingly good to experience this whole process and get to give her the first hair proper wash and scalp massage in decades (without dreads there) was an honour. We all felt her bliss. 💟

The first of many cuts I did a while back for a dear dear client of mine. 🌈
She came to her first ever appointment with me wanting something fresh and fun, and had had many short cuts back in the day. I was very much guided by her vision and loved bringing it to life 🌷
We have played with purples 💜 coppers 🧡 and slight variations of clipper length and silhouette.
She looks 🔥 she is 🔥 and ❤️ 💜☔️

📣🫶Our wonderful Faye Blake has opened her own GORGEOUS salon space in TOTNES, Devon. Naia Naturals…Herbal Hair Studio, Totnes
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
I am sooooo proud of her, and so grateful for all the work and support from Faye over the last six years. 🥹She has been a rock in so many ways, personally and professionally. I am looking forward to seeing how we will continue to collaborate and support each other. 👭Wishing her all the success in this new venture! 🤍

Her regulars know that she has been slowly phasing out her days here at Manu, whilst building her new empire closer to home. Hats off to Faye for commuting from Devon all these years and still coming to see you all here even though she was trying to open a business there too! 👏🙌💪
She will be sorely missed. 💞

Tell all your Devon based friends to go see her at Naia Naturals in Totnes and support her journey by taking her up on her beautiful offerings. 💚🧡🩵
