A social media influencer left all the local saloons and opted for international expertise, just as she was about to start her vacation with her girls.
The clip gained traction after Instagram user @kgopolo_lebepe shared a detailed vlog of her beauty journey on 20 March 2026.
While embarking on a Tanzanian ladies’ tour, she revealed that she no longer gets her hair done in South Africa before going on holiday there. Instead, she waits to land in Tanzania to visit a specific stylist she discovered on social media.

Aiming for a ‘rich auntie’ theme for her trip, Instagram user @kgopolo_lebepe visited Dar es Salaam, where she had three stylists working simultaneously. They completed her look in just three hours. The creator was so impressed by the stylists’ work that she ranked their services above those of other African giants.
