Visit this rustic retreat for premier treatments

Welcome to The Saloon, the most quaint spot in town to get renewed and refreshed. No, it’s not a place where men hang out and share drinks with their friends – this is a saloon with a difference. It’s a favourite getaway corner in Steenbokstreet where local women can find that extra pampering if they want to look their best. As you walk down the corridor to Veronica Wessels’ corner, you see her creative touches everywhere. The cheerful sunflowers on the wall greet you first. The rustic, earthly, country decor make you feel at home and urge you to get rid of your shoes and just relax for a while to escape from your busy lifestyle. Veronica, well known in the area and already a resident in Komatipoort for 14 years, has been specialising in biosculpture gel and acrylic nails for the past 12 years. Her work is not only a source of income, but she has a passion for it and loves doing what she does. She is also experienced in lash extensions, spray tan, laser liposlimming and hair extensions. Brides-to-be and matrics looking forward to their matric dance, will be excited to know that the new airbrush make-up technique can be done here. It is characterised by it’s unique globular application technique. The make-up is dispersed as an extremely fine mist through an airbrush gun. Millions of tiny little dots are created on the skin and when connected and layered together, they create a kind of net over the entire face. The end result is a thin, light layer on the skin that is barely noticeable to the wearer, giving one that porcelain look. A new service is now available where future brides are pampered and prepared for their special wedding day. She arrives early, having a relaxing outdoor bath while enjoying refreshments and drinks. Afterwards, her, as well as her bridesmaids’ make-up can be done professionally whereafter they can and get dressed for the grand occasion. Wedding photographers also love this venue with its unique, earthly style. There are already new creative ideas and plans in the pipeline and soon there will be even more offerings to choose from.
