BioSkin&Beauty opened its doors for the first time on October 1st, 2018 by Mrs. Chanel van der Walt – who successfully qualified as a Somatologist with a diploma in 2014 at the Isa Carstens Academy of Health and Skincare and received both national (SAAHSP) and international (CIDESCO) certification. Chanel won the prize for Best International Aromatherapy and Spa Therapy Category.

I wanted to follow my dream of providing the best quality treatments for my clients who have become a family to me. I wanted to work with and provide the best possible quality retail products available. I drew my inspiration from a deep place in my heart where I enjoy most the relief and satisfaction of every client leaving the salon – making them feel special, taken care of and gorgeous!

Initially I opened the salon within a hairdresser and we worked together harmoniously. I added a second skincare range and grew the salon from a small little seed to a strong little plant. Although we are still growing, we are making good progress even during these difficult Covid times. We closed during lockdown and suffered many losses – the hairdresser also closed down completely, even after we were allowed to open our doors again at the end of June 2020. BioSkin&Beauty persevered (and survived!) and moved into the next-door office on the 5th of December 2020 where we continued our journey (on our own this time). We are still standing tall and proud with the continuous support of our loyal clients.
