The team

Who is holding the scissors.

Three stylists, four levels, one salon by the water. Elena opened it in 2016 with a chair and a basin; Marco brought the colour; Amara came up through the graduate programme and is the most-booked name on Saturdays.

Elena Vasquez

Director and cutting specialist

Elena trained in London, spent six years in a Mayfair salon cutting for editorial shoots and opened Mane Street in 2016 with a chair, a basin and a view of the Bay. Precision cuts, restyles and bridal are hers, and she still does the first consultation for every new client she can.

Marco Bellini

Colour director

Marco joined in 2018 from a colour house in Milan and runs everything that involves a bowl: balayage, lightening, corrections and the grey-blending work he teaches to the team. He will tell you what your hair can take today and what it needs six weeks to take.

Amara Osei

Stylist

Amara trained with us from graduate to stylist and is the most-requested name on the Saturday book. Cuts for every texture, colour, blow-dries and the men's column are hers, and she is the one who finds the cowlick everyone else has fought.

The graduate programme

Where the next stylist comes from.

We take one apprentice at a time, train them for three years on the floor and at the backwash, and put them on the graduate column when they qualify. The graduate price is real: a qualified cut, supervised by Elena or Marco, at the best price in the salon. Amara started there. The next one is at the backwash now.

Promises

Four things you can expect every time.

Cut to your hair, not a photo

A reference picture is a starting point. We cut for your hair's texture, your growth pattern and how much time you want to spend on it in the morning.

The price on the wall is the price

Every service is listed by level. Toner, treatment and a blow-dry are included where we say they are, and anything extra is agreed before it goes on.

Colour that lasts to the next visit

We formulate for your hair's condition, seal it with a treatment and send you home with the right aftercare. Fading in three weeks is a formulation problem, not a shampoo problem.

On time, or we tell you

Appointments are booked for the time they take. If we are running more than ten minutes late you get a text before you leave the house.
