“When I was in primary school, I ran an informal salon in our dining room. I used to braid my neighbors’ hair every weekend. I even had a sign on our gate inviting potential customers. Most of the clients paid me for my services, except for my mom, sister, and aunt, of course,” she said.

“I braided my own hair and fellow students,” she added.“I remember writing a business proposal in primary school to turn our garage into a salon, but I lacked the resources. Over time, I forgot about the dream, but God didn’t. Fast forward to today and anyone who knows, me knows I love beauty. So, I’ve decided to turn my passion into a business.”

Thabisile’s beauty business Lavish Beauty Salon is located in Halfway House, Midrand, Johannesburg.
