The Cottage Hair & Beauty

There’s something so special about looking back and seeing just how far a dream has come. 🤍

In 2017, just two weeks after we said “I do”, we opened the doors to The Cottage from a little cottage tucked away behind a residential home. It was small, full of hope, and built on big dreams.

At the end of 2019, just before the world changed, we took a leap of faith into our first commercial space. It was almost double the size, and every wall, shelf, and detail was a DIY labour of love. We poured our hearts into creating a space that felt like home.

Since then, The Cottage has grown in ways we could never have imagined. We’ve welcomed incredible stylists, celebrated countless milestones, laughed, cried, and watched so many of you become more than clients. You’ve become part of our story. To those who have been with us since day one, and to those who joined somewhere along the way… thank you. You are the reason this dream keeps growing.

And now… it’s time for our next chapter.

On 1 August, we’re moving once again. Still in our beloved Palm Grove Centre, still the same heart, but into a beautiful new space just down the hall… almost three times the size of our current salon.

Welcome to The Cottage 3.0. 🌿

Come along on this journey with us as we build, create, and watch this next dream unfold. We can’t wait to share every dusty, exciting, beautiful moment with you.

This journey has been built on faith, hard work, and countless little miracles—and for each one, we thank God. Here’s to where we’ve been… and everything that’s still to come. 🤍✨

✨ From Fiery Copper to Spicy Cinnamon Latte Brunette ✨

Today’s transformation: we took her from bold red/copper into the most delicious warm, dimensional, bright brown. Think “lived-in luxe” but make it glow. ☕🔥

She’s serving main-character energy in 12 different undertones and honestly… same.
If your hair is hinting that it wants a seasonal plot twist, this is your sign. 💁‍♀️✨

Oh my goodness! She did it! 🏆🥳🎉🎊

We are so proud of for entering the National Trend Vision Awards and taking second place. She has worked extremely hard this year not only with this but also in getting her Wella color master’s and taking top score! 🏆 You are going places my girl 🫂 We couldn’t be more proud sharing our workplace with you.

Why is my hair SO frizzy this winter?!

You’re not imagining it — Cape Town’s wet, windy, humid winter can turn even the smoothest strands into a puffball. 😅
Your hair’s outer layer (the cuticle) lifts in damp air, causing frizz, dryness, and dullness.

But don’t worry – we’ve got you.

✨ Hair Ztox – Deep repair + shine, no straightening, lasts 2-6 weeks
