Full Of Colour | Jaco-Rien Stander
Living Colour!
There are beauty salons in Hermanus the street full all offering their guests much wanted pampering and relaxation. The novelty we have here in our town is that there are many treatments on offer, but what makes Jaco-Rien’s so unique?
Jaco-Rien Stander owner and beauty therapist of Jaco-Rien’s can help you out with any beauty woe but it is certainly her exquisite nail art that takes the cake! Think hundreds of colours and hundreds of designs and you aren’t even close.
Jaco-Rien hails from Pretoria and became a Hermanus local once moving here in February 2011. It was originally her husband Cobus’s dream of coming out here and Jaco-Rien, a lover of adventure decided it was the right one to pursue. We caught up with this local personality to find out about all her loves in life, see what she had to say…
What made you decide to become a beautician?
I did a nail technician course after my matric exams and fell in love with it! I decided to do the somatology diploma to give myself more experience and leave my options open for the future.
Hermanus is…

Summer, this means sunny days, late sunsets, the night market and all round a festive feeling in town.
If Hermanus was a shade of nail polish it would be?
