MAE ORGANIC
MAE ORGANIC BEAUTY is dedicated to providing the best in holistic hair services, beauty, and lifestyle products. We care about the longevity of your hair as well as your health and strive to find the best non toxic products to create the perfect hairstyle to compliment each individual client’s lifestyle. Our aim is to have you feeling relaxed and uplifted at the end of each and every service without the concern of being exposed to any harmful chemicals. We provide each client with an at-home care regimen to not only keep your hair looking as great at home as it does leaving the salon but to ensure the longevity and integrity of the services we provide. We care about animals and our planet which is why we chose to become apart of the Green Circle Salon movement. We hope to be trailblazers in the Nashville area and beyond to show that a cleaner approach to beauty is beneficial to not only ourselves but the world as a whole. MAE is named after our founder Amanda Foster, and her late grandmother Thelma Mae Morley who were both diagnosed with Lymphoma at young ages and we hope to help educate and support the community about a more natural approach to beauty as much as possible.

With nearly a decade in the salon industry, her diverse education allows her to create effortless lively hairstyles, dimensional colors and beautiful blondes. A Jill of all trades, she strides to find styles that meet your lifestyle, and that can easily be achieved at home. Amanda is accepting new clients by referral only. @amandamaebeauty
