Velvet & VineHAIR STUDIO · UMHLANGA Book · 031 566 8842

The studio on Lagoon Drive

Opened in 2017 by colour director Nadia Fourie with a simple rule that still governs the diary: no one touches a client's hair until they have talked about it first.

Our story

Nadia spent eight years doing session styling for magazines before opening Velvet & Vine. The editorial discipline came with her: consultations are conversations, colour is formulated to the strand, and every style is photographed so results repeat.

Nine years later we are four senior stylists strong - including two curl-certified cutters and a smoothing specialist. We train quarterly, buy only through official South African distributors, and keep the diary deliberately unhurried.

Our clients include brides who started as students, swimmers who found us for frizz, and women who drive from Ballito because good colour chemistry is worth the N2.

the house rules

What we promise

  • Talk first, scissors second

    Every appointment begins with your hair history and your real-life routine - not our sales targets.

  • Chemistry with honesty

    Strand tests, patch tests and staged plans. We would rather book you twice than fry your hair once.

  • Styles that survive Monday

    If a look needs 45 minutes of styling daily, we will teach you - or design something better suited to your life.

Why clients choose us

  • Senior stylists only – minimum six years on the floor
  • Bond protection included in every lightening service
  • Curl-certified cutting, done dry, pattern by pattern
  • Free consultations and written quotes for all chemical work
  • Photographed trials for bridal and occasion hair
