I came in for a colour and left with a badge and a whole new understanding. Dolly talked me through a self-check like it was the most normal thing in the world. That matters.

Dolly Hair & Beauty Salon takes a lead against breast cancer with a QR-coded button badge. Every scan carries a message — and our work has been recognised with a Certificate of Appreciation from the Cancer Association of South Africa.
Unfiltered, real and raw — the chairs, the basins, the colour and the craft that make up a day at Dolly.
Wear the pink. Scan the hope. Check early, check often.
— Dolly Hair & Beauty Salon
Dolly Hair & Beauty Salon started as a single chair and a simple belief: that good hair and honest care should be available to everyone in the neighbourhood. Today we run a full salon — cuts, colour, nails and makeup — with the same hands-on approach.
What sets us apart is not just the work. It is what we stand for. We take a lead against breast cancer with our QR-coded button badge, a small piece of wearable technology that turns a compliment into a conversation about early detection.
That work has been recognised with a Certificate of Appreciation issued by the Cancer Association of South Africa — an honour we carry into every appointment.
Our Smart Business Card is more than a card. It is a QR-coded button badge you can pin to a bag, a jacket or a mirror — and one scan opens the door to breast cancer awareness information, self-check guidance and support networks.
We hand these badges out with every service. No cost, no catch. Just a small pink object that starts a big conversation. Our team has been trained to talk about early detection in plain language, without fear and without judgement.
The Cancer Association of South Africa issued us a Certificate of Appreciation for this initiative. We keep it on the wall by the reception desk — not as a trophy, but as a reminder of why the work matters.
Straight from the chair — no edits, no polish.

Best balayage I have had in years, and the salon itself feels like a proper studio — dark, calm, no fuss. The team knows exactly what they are doing with textured hair.
My mother was diagnosed early because of a conversation that started with a pink badge. I will never stop recommending this salon. The nails are excellent too.
Walk in, call ahead or send us a message. We will confirm your slot and have the kettle on. Badges are always free.
