• Nail Care – Nail care includes a wide range of treatments to the nails, such as: painting, cutting, filing, adding extensions, and performing manicures and pedicures.
• Skincare – Skincare involves treatments that are aimed at keeping the skin in good condition. These treatments include cleansing, steaming, exfoliation, mask application and massage. The most popular treatment done in South Africa is the facial, which is done to eliminate the cellular build-up that causes breakouts.
• Make-up Application – A popular element of beauty therapy is the application of make-up. Make-up is generally used to enhance appearances or to create special effects through highlighting, contouring, and colouring.
