SANTUARY EIGHT
Redefining the Salon Experience through Honesty and Craftsmanship.
Welcome to Sanctuary Eight, a quayside salon in Exeter where specialised hair and scalp care meet transparent, expert artistry.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Beautiful Hair Starts at the Root.
We believe that great hair is not just about the final look; it’s about the foundation.
Our approach is built on the belief that a healthy scalp is the essential starting point for vibrant, thriving hair. By combining innovative techniques with a personalised touch, we ensure that every treatment is as restorative as it is transformative.
Our commitment to this foundation led to the birth of our sister brand, Serenity. This partnership allows us to offer specialist scalp health plans and medical-grade infusions that provide the scientific basis for everything we do at Sanctuary Eight.

Serenity Scalp Health
Where Science Meets the Sanctuary
At Sanctuary Eight, we believe that you cannot grow beautiful hair without a healthy foundation. This conviction led Tanya to co-found Serenity, a specialist scalp care brand dedicated to bridging the gap between clinical trichology and salon luxury. By integrating Serenity’s advanced formulas into our salon protocols, we offer a level of scalp care that goes far beyond a standard treatment.
Why Scalp Health Matters
The scalp is an extension of your skin; it requires the same level of nourishment, exfoliation, and hydration as your face. Issues such as thinning, dryness, or irritation are often signals that the scalp environment is out of balance. Through our partnership with Serenity, we use nutrient-rich, plant-based infusions to clear congestion and revitalise follicles at a molecular level, creating the optimal environment for hair to thrive.
Take the Sanctuary Home
Your scalp care journey does not have to end at the salon door. To support your growth plan at home, you can explore and purchase the full range of professional Serenity products directly from their website, or from us in salon at your next visit.
