Meet our founder

Khethelo Makhaye

My name is Khethelo Makhaye, and my story begins in the small village of Stepmore, Underberg. Growing up in a rural area, I always had big dreams—not just for myself, but for my community.

In 2018, I started my business from a small flat, transforming it into a space where I could offer hair and beauty services. By June 2019, I took a leap of faith and opened my own salon—completely by myself.
