Last year the lovely people of GoBeauty asked me if I would be interested in trying out their booking service and reviewing a salon in my area. No-brainer, isn’t it?
Who is GoBeauty?
‘3 years after it was launched, GoBeauty is fast becoming the go-to place for all of your beauty needs; it has been labelled “Uber for Beauty” and “Tripadvisor for beauty places”.
Designed to make your life easier, you can search and find a ‘Beauty salon’ in your area or ‘Manicure in Johannesburg’ or ‘Dermalogica Facial in Cape Town’. Create your own private page on GoBeauty, add your favourite salons, book your treatments, review places you visited, and instantly buy and send gift vouchers across South Africa.’
Making my booking was so easy! This was my first time using GoBeauty, but it is most definitely not my last.

It was very hard trying to decide on a treatment. I haven’t visited a salon in a very long time. A very long time. My top 3 choices was a back massage, a deep cleansing facial and a pedi. I was going to a wedding so the classic pedicure and Gelish won. I was very excited about this treatment.
On arrival at Gem Beauty I was met with many friendly faces and I immediately felt special. The salon is beautifully decorated with the manicure and pedicure stations in the front room and private treatment rooms in the back.
And then it was pedicure time! Gem Beauty has these fancy schmancy pedicure chairs that are so comfy you don’t ever want to get up. Plus, they are massage chairs! Oh. My. Word… Heaven! My therapist was a stunning lady that made me feel at ease the moment my behind hit the seat. My feet and calves were soaked, scrubbed and massaged and my toenails were cleaned, shaped and painted perfectly. This was my first time experiencing Gelish and I am very impressed. The process of curing the polish was very quick and more than a week later, my toenails still look as great as the day it was done.
The whole experience was relaxing and I felt so pampered. The Classic Pedicure + Gelish goes for R360 and it’s money well spent. I will most definitely be back.
Gem Beauty is a stunning salon with even more stunning people. The lively vibe makes for a lovely experience and you will leave with a smile on your face. And I am most definitely not the only one who feels this way. I think I was the only customer who was new to the salon on the morning of my pedi! Everyone was chatting away about the holidays and you could see that everyone felt totally at home. There were also at least 5 different people who popped in to make appointments and have a quick catch-up.
If you like a salon where you are treated like a princess and part of the family, Gem Beauty is the place for you. Thank you ladies for a wonderful morning, and my beautiful feet! I’ll see you again soon.
And thank you to GoBeauty for introducing me to this gem!
