In a series of TikTok videos, @siiwe__ documented the wait.

When they arrived, there was already a queue outside the salon and they were number 44. While waiting, they even grabbed some lunch.

When asked in the comment section why they didn't just go home, she replied:

"I couldn’t turn back coz of the distance."

Was the wait worth it?

@siiwe__ further revealed the end product in another clip. She showed off her mother's stunning hairstyle that they waited for for hours and hours.

Mzansi reacted to the waiting time.

@MissLittleFalls said:

"My patience could never. My hairstyle would even last 4 hours 2 min and 3 seconds anyway, it could never be worth it."

"So this salon, but need to pack a lunchbox and snacks... and wake up @4am."
