About JAWY
JAWY began in 2010 with founder Jannie Erasmus, after years of international styling experience in the United Kingdom. In 2016, the salon expanded into aesthetics under Wynand Neethling, who brought over two decades in the aesthetics industry - and JAWY has been both a hair salon and a skin clinic ever since, run from one floor by one team.
We're a Kérastase-certified salon, and every stylist keeps training on the techniques and products we use - Kérastase, Redken, Davines, Pureology and Inoar for hair; NeoStrata and Heliocare for skin. It's why clients tend to stick around.
