HOW DID YOU GET STARTED WITH YOUR COMPANY? Niki: Fable & Mane was created to bring ancient Indian beauty secrets to the modern world, as an homage to our grandparents and our roots. When we were young, our grandma would visit with her handcrafted blend of Ayurvedic plant oils and give us a champi massage, focusing on the crown chakra to alleviate stress and tension from the roots. While she massaged, she told us fantastic fables about India’s rich plant and animal kingdom. The combination of the fables and the hair oiling massage eased our minds so perfectly and it was something we always looked forward to, and how we came up with the brand name ‘Fable & Mane’. After suffering from our own hair loss issues during a stressful period as adults, we went back to our childhood hair rituals and Indian roots to find a holistic way to strengthen and nourish our scalp and hair.
