Miss Salon

So we had the huge honour of being featured on the C O V E R of Destiny Magazine July 2017 Issue! It was one of the most overwhelming experiences - certainly for me! Azania is already use to these things but I couldn't have imagined such a thing. I have been written about within magazines quite a few times over the years but being the cover-story cover-star is totally different!

Firstly the photoshoot was crazy-amazing-tense (for me!)

Nick Bolton was the photographer - he was brilliant and funny and made us feel at ease - although I was convinced I looked fat in every shot LOL...

Nthato Mashishi was the makeup artist - of course we know Nthato very well as he is a big fan of our MSLONDON Minerals and we've worked with him many times. He #Mineralised us to the God's !!

Saadique was the hair stylist - he's amazingly stylish himself - he sorted our up do's, down do's, big-hair do's and everything in-between!

Sheen wrote our story and interviewed us on the day during the shoot...



More on this later...
Have to go now and get back to #WERK!

Now whilst we are not promising you any kisses we can promise you Champagne, a beautiful environment, great nails and outstanding mineral makeup... plus it'll be fun and much better than wallowing about being single; or worse with that partner that doesn't believe in Valentine's. Where's the romance!!? Ugh... anyway come hang out! We'll be the cool kids. And if you are one of the happy-in-an-awesome-attentive-romantic-relationship ones then even better... we'll get you ready for your romantic evening in or outdoors *wink wink xxx

Don't miss it! 

So far the month of January has kept us busy and excited about whats still to come.
Its only the second week of Jan and already our Parkhurst salon has hosted a Pretty Party of continental proportions. The talent search show, The Voice, is coming to SA screens in 3 weeks and there is much anticipation. So you can imagine how thrilled we were when Angolan superstar Yola Semedo, mentor and judge on The Voice Angola, chose to treat the contestants that she is mentoring to a Pretty Party.
And not just any Pretty Party. The entire experience was captured on camera as part of the show. Each mentor was asked to choose a bonding experience for them and the contestants under their guidance and an MSL experience was right up there for Yola.

I was between hairstyles opting to wrap my resting hair while I spent the day preparing for the party in that sweltering heat by sorting out the meal and drink requirements for our guests. And that had to be the day Ego decided to braid her hair sitting in Abina's air-conditioned hair salon when we had one of our regular meetings. The excitement for the pretty party was palpable. Marc, Ego and I were all set to roll. It had to be perfect.

Right on que, the camera crew arrived just before 7pm to prepare for the arrival of Yola and her contestants. She is a beautiful, gracious and generous woman towards everyone around her. She said "I always stay in Sandton whenever I'm in Johannesburg and I never miss a chance to visit Miss Salon London to do my nails". With fans like her, Angola is definitely due a visit. Yola and her group of 6 were treated to our signature manicures and pedicures to get them stage ready for the friday live show which was shot in Joburg. The night had so much flavour and filled with laughter because to communicate we were gesticulating and learning from each other. Our nail technicians can proudly say they picked up a bit of Portuguese.

There wasn't a quiet spot in the entire shop. The glamour pods were just as busy with our charming make up artist, Karabo, in her element. She colour matched and gave the girls a makeover with MSL mineral makeup. By the end of the night they had taken countless selfies with the pouts to match.

The whole MSL team was outstanding.
Good luck to all of them. Thank you Yola. Mcwah!

We opened the Miss Salon London website to the public this morning! It's not 100% ready but we're just too excited to hide it any longer. Most of the relevant information is on and correct, so if you're looking for one of our salons or our price lists, you'll find that here now.

Our Online store will continue to grow... Over the next few weeks we'll be loading more and more of the awesome products we have in the salons for you to purchase wherever you are. Wherever!

For now, enjoy our site and sign up for the newsletter!

Cheers Cheers!

 

So! We opened our second salon on the 16th July last year and had the most awesome launch party in October. Sponsored by Bacardi South Africa the Mohitos were on tap and our DJ was on fire!
