In 2021, Stephanie Koning embarked on her entrepreneurial journey with a clear mission: to provide the hairdressing industry with high-quality hair extensions and professional education. Based on her experience in the industry, she saw a need for better quality, more expertise, and a stronger brand image. This led to the creation of a brand that stands for exclusivity, craftsmanship, and collaboration with salons that share the same high standards.

Due to the brand's growth and the desire to strengthen its identity, Blend Your Hair will change its name in 2026 to: Manes. A name that radiates strength, professionalism, and quality.

With this new phase, Manes will be the first in the Netherlands to open its own brand store in Laren: not a salon, but an inspiring place where brand experience, innovation, education, and hair development are central. In this way, Manes continues to build a future-oriented brand for salons that truly want to make a difference.
