About us
A letter from our Founder
We've created Mane Hook-Up with one thing in mind - to help you find the best textured hair stylists, products and advice.
As I transitioned back to my natural hair in 2018 (after relaxing it for what felt like forever), I struggled to find local hair stylists who really understood how to handle textured hair. This journey inspired me to create a product that could solve an ongoing problem in the textured hair community.
There are so many talented stylists and salons out there and, in a digital age, we should be able to find online with ease. And that's what Mane Hook-Up does — it allows you to find and book appointments with the textured hair stylists you can trust. Giving you the options that you truly deserve. No hassle, no fuss, and no stress.
People with textured hair are often overlooked and neglected in the beauty space, but we plan to change that. Watch this space.
Our mission
We want to change the textured hair community by making the people, products and education you need, easy to find.
Our vision
To create a world where black women are catered for and prioritised in the hair & beauty industry.
