Rooted Hair Studio · Despatch, Eastern Cape

Healthy hair starts at the root

A private, one-on-one hair salon in Despatch, a short drive from Kariega and Gqeberha. One stylist, one client, no rush. Just you, your hair, and time to breathe.

Hi, I'm Nadine

I'm the hands, heart, and hustle behind Rooted Hair Studio in Retief, Despatch. With nearly a decade in the industry, I've worked with all hair types and styles, and I pride myself on delivering a truly personal touch.

This isn't a busy high-street salon. When you book, the studio is yours. No waiting, no double-bookings, no stranger in the next chair. You get my full attention from the moment you sit down, and every appointment is tailored to you and your hair's unique needs.

Most of my clients come from Despatch, Kariega (Uitenhage) and Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth). Wherever you're travelling from, I'll make the trip worth it.
