4 years ago yesterday we opened our 2nd salon up in this wonderful part of the world and today we are 1 year since moving into our sanctuary in Barbon and I’ve never looked back.
Thank You to everyone who has supported this dream

This is a lovely botanical hair rinse—made with homegrown ingredients—and some say sparkling water in the morning tames frizz and refreshes the scalp although there is no scientific evidence to back this up.
What I do know is the fizzing of the scalp and the infusion of the botanicals feel wonderful and refreshing.

If you’re a hairdresser, this is also a simple way to add botanical services to your menu—effortless and effective. Try it at home or in salon yourself

It’s starting to feel a bit like the woman who swallowed the fly over here…

We got ducks to protect our flower beds (where we grow many of our ingredients) from pests.
The ducks needed a safe, natural space to forage—so they became part of the pond system, enriching the water and soil as they go.

But food attracts mice… so we got a cat.
Ground elder took over… so we got rabbits.

And just like that, an ecosystem began to build itself.

Every animal here at Wilderness has a role to play. Together, they help us grow ingredients in a way that’s completely free from chemicals and pesticides—working with nature, not against it.

We’re deeply inspired by rewilding projects like Knepp and stories like The Biggest Little Farm—places that trust nature to restore balance when given the chance.

This is our version of a 360° approach to hairdressing:
Being mindful of where our ingredients come from, how they’re grown, and what touches them before they ever touch you.

So when you see animals around the salon, it’s not random—it’s intentional. It’s care. It’s a system.

And most importantly, it’s about creating something safer, slower, and more honest—for both the land, and for you 🤍

In this immersive Wilderness session, you’ll explore the art of simple, natural wellness through the power of botanicals — learning how to turn herbs, flowers, roots and everyday ingredients into beautiful, non-toxic preparations you can use at home in your personal care.

Together, we will create a collection of seasonal botanical products, inspired by modern homesteading, old countryside traditions and the beauty of small-batch craft.
Expect grounding rituals, gentle scent, and recipes that bring nature into your daily routine.

You will learn how to:
• Craft herbal infusions, milks, salves and oils
• Use seasonal plants for wellbeing and ritual
• Make natural, sustainable products with minimal ingredients
• Build slow-living practices into modern life
• Understand the properties of key herbs and botanicals
• Create wellness preparations to take home and enjoy

This workshop is perfect for anyone drawn to slow living, seasonal beauty, natural wellness, homesteading, creativity, or simply learning something new in a peaceful setting.

Come as you are — you’ll leave with new skills, a beautiful selection of handcrafted products, and a deeper connection to the seasons.

Spaces are limited to keep the experience intimate.
Booking now open for UK date 3rd April
