Salon La Belle Franschhoek

Maryke, was a stylist in upmarket Pretoria East for 16 years. Her first employer was so impressed by her that when she opened a second salon Maryke was part of the team. With Maryke as co-owner and manager the salon went on to win several awards, train several of the industry’s best stylists and was even invited by Schwarzkopf SA to take part in hair shows. Not one to sit on her laurels, Maryke went on to complete retail, management and perm courses and became a Master Colourist. With her clutch of qualifications in hand Maryke decided to venture out on her own and rented space in a salon – another tick in the success column. Then, in late 2015, she and her family decided to relocate to the Western Cape.
As it goes with endings and beginnings – and with apologies to The Pretenders – “some things change, some stay the same.” The salon will still do cuts, blow dries, perms, straightening, colouring, creative hair, bridal hair and treatments. They’ll also provide advice, aftercare products and relaxation in one shop – more on that later. Something else that stays the same is the Joico products that clients have come to love and trust.
Changes include a loyalty programme (every tenth cut free for gents and every sixth blow dry free for ladies), longer hours (now open every Saturday), hair extensions and exciting special offers. Even better, cappuccinos and wine will now be served and you could be lucky enough to get a relaxing hand massage while your hair is being washed. With consumers wanting to live healthy, more natural lives Salon la Belle will also be offering 100% vegan home care products in the near future.
Just in case that wasn’t enough good news Maryke will also be offering an image consulting service – a first for Franschhoek.
