Words Candice May Images Supplied There’s no shortage of blow-dry bars in the City of Gold, but that doesn’t mean you should entrust your mane to the first stylist with a spare chair. We’re big fans of this style-only spot in the NHC Healthcare Centre in Bryanston, where fabulous co-owner Marcia and her team have totally mastered the art of the round brush. From bold bouffants to sleek ‘dos

As you enter this hairstyling mecca with soft grey walls and a mural of blooming pink flowers, you’re greeted with a complimentary cappuccino and cupcake before getting lathered with Redken or Biosense shampoo at one of the three washing stations in the back. Blowouts are a R200 flat fee regardless of your hair length and texture, and you can choose from four signature styles – Runway Ready (smooth and sleek), The Trendsetter (messy beach waves), Curl Couture (soft with lots of loose curls) and Part of the Glitteratti (big hair with lots of volume). You can also opt for The Fashionista and add a braid to your look at R20 per braid.

For a night out on the town, we recommend booking the Curl Couture – a tumble of loose, romantic curls – as well as the Redken pH Bonder treatment, which is suitable for all hair types and visibly increases the strength of your hair and improves its elasticity. Other treatments on offer include the Redken Chemistry, GHD Split End Therapy and Biosense The Ultimate 12 in 1. On Mondays, all signature blowouts cost R100 and on Tuesdays you can get an intense moisture treatment added to your blowout for R200. If that’s not enough to lure you in, don’t miss the pink champagne on offer to make your pampering that much sweeter!

HOTSPOT: GOLDCOAST TAN

The Rolls Royce in luxury spray tanning

If your complexion veers closer to ‘silver minnow’ than ‘golden halo’ and you wish to sport a tanned look, the tanning connoisseurs at Goldcoast Tan have just the glam-filled thing you need! Owner Victoria De Lima has an obsessive appetite for delivering a strategically applied spray tan that gives the skin a subtle coat of colour and, of course, has the ability to hide a multitude of sins using the most luxurious products on the market.

Before we get into that, it must be mentioned that Goldcoast Tan is much more than a spray tanning studio – it’s the ultimate destination boutique. So, whether it’s a professional swimwear fitting to create your desired summer holiday wardrobe or your dream tan for that special occasion that you’re after, they’ve got you covered. Goldcoast Tan stocks gorgeous swimwear from brands like Seafolly and Granadilla as well as top-of-the-range tanning products by Fake Bake, Mine Tan, Vita Liberata, Bali Body and more. You won’t find a bigger selection of self-tan, home tan, gradual tan, instant tan and wash-off tan products plus products to prep your skin and prolong your tan anywhere else in Joburg!

Now, back to the spray tans. You can expect to pay a pretty penny with prices ranging from R699 for ladies to R799 for men for a luxury tan, or R499 for a standard tan if you’re on a budget. In our opinion, the luxury tan is the only way to go and is well worth the price tag to take you well beyond the pale. The service is lightning-fast – airbrush pros can deliver an immediate glow in only 15 minutes, which then deepens over the next few hours. After your tan, you’ll understand exactly how Victoria’s foolproof techniques and meticulous attention to detail have won her a loyal following.

Your tan will last 12 to 14 days provided you followed the pre- and posttan instructions, but we recommend stocking up on some take-home products to make it last even longer – especially if you’re going on holiday or honeymoon. The Mine Tan Coconut is our favourite not only because it smells like tropical paradise, but also because it’s supercharged with antioxidants to keep your skin hydrated and revitalised. Victoria will happily recommend products based on your needs to make sure that you achieve the best tan all year round.

Goldcoast Tan is open from 07h00 to 19h00 Monday to Thursday, 07h00 to 18h00 on Fridays, 09h00 to 15h00 on Saturdays and closed on Sundays.
