-  LEAH DENNIS

there's nothing like walking out of a hair salon with a fresh blowout, but before that, you have to know where to go. Compiling a list of the top hair salons and barbers in South Africa is not easy - you can't trust just anyone with your locks! And finding an experienced stylist who will assess the quality of your hair, the shape of your face, and chat with you about your main concerns, is quite rare in such a fast-paced beauty industry. You must weigh your options, play the field, and decide which hotspots suit you best. It's a hairy situation, but once you make the right choice, you'll be set for life.
