• Two students attending the University of Johannesburg opened a business at their residence

Two University of Johannesburg students earned extra rands in their pockets after deciding to open a nail and hair salon at their residence.

One of the students, who uses the handle @nomsathenailtech on TikTok, uploaded a video of herself and her friend @funo_starseed using their beauty skills. As @nomsathenailtech does her customers' nails on one side of the room, @funo_starseed sorts out her clients' hair on the other side.

In the clip, the two businesswomen also share a pamphlet about their winter special, which includes nail and hair combos ranging between R450 and R650, before showing off some of their work.
