Reviews
Loved by our clients
"My knotless braids came out perfect — neat, light and they lasted for weeks. The salon feels calm and luxurious, I never want to leave."
"Best acrylic set I've ever had in Johannesburg. The nail tech listened to exactly what I wanted and the shape was flawless."
"They rescued my hair with their treatment. It's soft, healthy and shiny again. Genuinely professional and so welcoming."
"Booked a wig install and a pedicure on the same day. Both were immaculate and the pricing is honest. My new regular spot."
"The cornrows are always crisp and the ladies are so warm. I bring my daughter too — everyone leaves smiling."
"Beautiful nail art, great music, great energy. Highly recommend booking ahead because they get busy for a reason!"
FAQ
Good to know
Booking is recommended, especially for braiding, wig installs and weekend slots. Call or WhatsApp us on +27 71 954 6702 and we'll confirm a time that suits you.
Yes, walk-ins are always welcome and we'll fit you in with the next available stylist. Waiting times can be longer on Saturdays, so a quick call ahead helps.
No — you never need to bring your own fibre. All our braiding prices include fibre, and we supply it ourselves according to the style and price you choose. If you'd like a wig installed, you're welcome to bring your own wig.
We accept cash, card and instant EFT payments. Payment is settled at the end of your appointment.
A wash and blow dry takes around 45–60 minutes, nails 1–2 hours, and braiding between 3 and 6 hours depending on the style, hair length and size of the braids.
