Serving up fine content

When she isn't sharing what she's up to in the salon, the lady loves making skits on TikTok. Not only that, but she works as a DJ as well. Most of her content, however, is based on the lethal face cards she loves serving up. Not only does she show off her looks, she loves sharing the outfits she wears.

Briefly News spoke to qualified artistic and creative hairstylist Lazaros Sumbane about tips for new salon owners. He said:

"Prioritize Essentials: Focus on investing in high-quality versions of the most crucial pieces first, such as styling chairs and wash basins, as these directly impact the client experience and stylist comfort. Less critical items like waiting area furniture or decor can be sourced more affordably initially and upgraded later.

"Explore Local Suppliers: Don't immediately dismiss local furniture suppliers. They often offer competitive pricing, shorter lead times, easier communication, and readily available after-sales support. You can also physically inspect the furniture before purchasing."

Hair content is incredibly popular on TikTok. The videos are usually found under the beauty section on the platform and is filled with people trying out make up tutorials and different skincare products.

People across South Africa couldn't help but crack up at the sight of the iron on the lady's hair, while others complimented the man.
