By Petite Beauty & Nails Studio gaan dit oor soveel meer as net ’n mooi stel naels – dit gaan oor daardie oomblik wanneer jy weer ’n bietjie meer soos jouself voel.


Salomé is ’n gekwalifiseerde BioSculpture-naelterapeut en skoonheidsterapeut met ’n opregte passie vir haar werk. Sy geniet dit om te sien hoe ’n nuwe stel naels iemand se hele gemoed kan lig, hoe verwaarloosde voete met die regte sorg weer mooi en selfversekerd in oop sandale kan wees, en hoe ’n ontspannende facial nie net die vel verfris nie, maar ook vir jou daardie broodnodige tyd gee om net asem te haal en te ontspan.


By Petite Beauty & Nails Studio word elke kliënt as ’n individu behandel. Dit is ’n plek waar jy kan ontspan, gesels, afpak en net jouself wees, terwyl jy professionele sorg en persoonlike aandag ontvang.


Van pragtige BioSculpture- en akrielnaels, tot pedikure, facials en ander skoonheidsbehandelings – die doel is eenvoudig: om jou meer te gee as wat jy verwag het, met resultate wat jy kan sien én voel.


Kom bederf jouself. Jy verdien dit. 💗

The History of Cars in South Africa

The story of automobiles in South Africa began in 1896 with the import of the first car, a Benz Velo, which was demonstrated in Pretoria in 1897 to President Paul Kruger.

Early Years and Establishment:
