Mane Tamers Hair Design: Craftsmanship, Care, and Style in Napier CBD

Centrally situated along Hastings Street in the heart of Napier, Mane Tamers Hair Design has long served as a welcoming retreat for locals seeking expert hair styling, custom colour, and dedicated haircare. Founded by salon manager Catherine—who brings more than 30 years of industry experience and an enduring passion for high fashion—the salon was established around a simple ethos: pairing professional precision with a warm, caring environment where clients can truly relax.

From the moment you step through the door, the team aims to provide a comfortable sanctuary away from the daily rush. Whether you are coming in for a regular maintenance trim, a creative restyle, or an extensive colour transformation, every appointment begins with attention to the client's individual lifestyle, face shape, and natural hair texture.

A Diverse Team of Hair Specialists

The strength of Mane Tamers lies in its collaborative and talented team of stylists, each bringing specialised strengths to the styling chair. Working alongside Catherine is Jacky, who trained as a hairdresser in France and specialises in classic, elegant cuts, natural colour work, and formal pin-ups for weddings, balls, and celebrations. Jamie brings over 15 years of hairdressing experience with a deep focus on custom colour design and teaching clients how to easily recreate their salon look at home. Jason focuses on sharp, craftsman-level cutting where clients enjoy a tailored VIP experience, while Donna offers specialised flair for contemporary shorter cuts, curly hair, and vibrant colouring.

Together, the team covers every facet of modern unisex hairdressing, offering clipper work, men’s cuts, and children’s styling alongside high-level technical services.

Premium Products and Specialised Treatments

Healthy hair is fundamental to great styling, which is why Mane Tamers partners exclusively with luxury industry leaders L'Oréal Professionnel and Kérastase. These partnerships allow the team to offer advanced in-salon restorative rituals, including deep conditioning Kérastase masques and full rituals accompanied by relaxing scalp massages.

For those seeking colour services, options range from subtle partial foiling and toners to global tint applications and extensive full-head foil combinations. Clients looking to tame unmanageable curl or frizz can opt for the X-Tenso relaxing treatment, which includes both a tailored cut and a smooth blow-wave finish to keep hair looking healthy and polished day after day.
