Our Bare Family

Naomi Browner, founder of Bare Beauty House

Naomi - Founder

Naomi Browner is the founder and creative director of Bare Beauty House, an eco-luxe hair and beauty salon in Manly that is redefining what a sustainable salon experience looks like on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. With over 25 years in hairdressing across Sydney, New York, and Liverpool, Naomi opened Bare Beauty House in 2020 with a clear mission: to deliver premium, results-driven styling without the toxic chemicals, wasteful packaging, and environmental impact of a conventional salon.

A specialist blonde colourist and 2024 finalist for Best Eco Salon at the Australian Hair Industry Awards, Naomi leads a team of ten and has built Bare Beauty House into one of Australia’s most recognised sustainable salons. The salon works with certified B Corp Davines for hair, Synergie Skin and Dazzle Dry for beauty, and Sustainable Salons for waste recycling, reducing the industry’s footprint without compromising on results.

Amy, colour specialist for balayage and lived-in blonde at Bare Beauty House

Amy - Colour Specialist | Balayage & Lived-In Blonde

Amy specialises in seamless balayage and low-maintenance blondes designed to grow out beautifully.

Known for her technical precision, refined placement and attention to detail, she creates luminous, dimensional colour that complements your natural features while prioritising the health and integrity of your hair.

Amy Jo, hairdresser specialising in modern, textured and lived-in haircuts

Amy Jo - Modern, Textured & Lived-In Haircuts

If you love a haircut that’s a little bit Vogue but still works for everyday life, Amy might just be your new favourite hairdresser!

Amy has a real talent for modern, textured haircuts. Think soft, shaggy layers, effortless movement, beautiful shape and that perfectly undone, editorial look.

She loves creating cuts that have personality without being high maintenance. Hair that looks just as good a little messy as it does freshly styled, and works with your natural texture rather than against it.

Friendly, down-to-earth and full of expert advice, Amy makes you feel like you’re catching up with a friend while she’s creating something you’ll love.

Whether you’re after a subtle refresh, a complete restyle or a beautiful new colour, you’re in great hands.

Amy Jo did an amazing job with my hair, I’m so impressed with her skills! I’ve long wanted to try something different but never quite had the nerve. Amy Jo had great ideas, walked me through so I understood, and I absolutely love the result. I couldn’t recommend her more. The salon has such a warm and relaxed vibe as well.

So relaxing and Amy had great intuition with colour. Very happy!
I’m really happy with the result. Amy understood exactly what I wanted without me having to explain much. She did a beautiful balayage, blending my greys and enhancing my natural color in a very subtle way. She also trimmed the ends just enough, while keeping the length as I wanted. I rarely leave a salon this satisfied. She was lovely throughout the whole appointment. I’ll definitely be coming back to her next time.
Last minute make up booking for a wedding, really listened to what I wanted and did such an amazing job. I would highly recommend!! Super nice space too

90min Swedish Relaxation: Unbelievable massage, it’s very clear that Kanako knows the physiology of the human body very well and is able to follow the lines of tension with expert precision. Perfect, consistent pressure and her awareness of my comfort throughout made it a great experience. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend her services. Thank you Kanako 🙏🏻
