A HISTORIC corner of Bridgewater is ready to open its doors as home to a luxurious experience in beauty and hairdressing.
Amanda Goodman has seen the town’s former grocery store restored and rejuvenated for her new salon where the emphasis will be on sustainability, authentic products and customer service and being part of the local community.
The opening of Ergo and Mane from July 1 will be the start of a new connection with the Main Street building for Amanda.
“As a youngster, I remember my grandmother pulled up outside in the car while I went in to collect the newspapers,” Amanda said. “Three years ago, I purchased the building with the dream of opening my own salon. Wonderful community support and terrific tradies  putting new and contemporary life into the building, it’s wonderful to announce the opening of Ergo & Mane in the heart of Bridgewater.”
Amanda says: “As a local girl who grew up in this beautiful town and a mother of two children who attend the Bridgewater Primary School, I am dedicated to supporting and enriching our community. 
“My goal is to contribute to the strength and vitality of the local economy, supporting our town and its wonderful residents. By choosing to support local businesses like ours, you are helping to strengthen the local economy and foster a sense of community pride.”
She says Ergo & Mane is more than just a salon, it’s a sanctuary where Hairdressing meets sustainability. “We exclusively use organic products, ensuring that our clients not only look their best but also feel good about the choices they make. 
“Every aspect of our salon, from product selection to waste management, is guided by our ethos of conscious sustainability and a low-tox approach.”
With 22 years’ experience and an industry leader, Amanda brings a deep passion for hairdressing to Ergo & Mane. 
“This salon is a realisation of my dream to create a space that combines exceptional hairdressing and ecofriendly practices.
Clients walking into Ergo & Mane will immediately notice the beautiful and thoughtfully-designed space. Every detail of the salon has been carefully considered and crafted, reflecting the many hours of dedication and hard work behind the scenes.

“The salon boasts a gallery-like feel with a minimalistic and sophisticated colour palette. 
“This elegant aesthetic creates a calming ambiance, allowing clients to relax and enjoy their time with us. The harmonious design elements are intended to reflect the balance we strive for in our services,” she said.
Amanda will be joined by other hair specialists at Ergo & Mane, each believing everyone deserves to feel welcome and pampered.
