Sorbet

Sorbet's work in Stellenbosch involves the practical reality of what beauty services demand in the wine region's climate and lifestyle. Summer humidity here affects hair and skin differently than inland areas, and the local water—chalky and mineral-heavy in places—shapes how treatments hold up and what prep work matters. Coastal airflow means UV exposure is constant, so extensions, colour, and skin treatments need to account for that. The salon's daily reality includes managing appointments around the region's peaks: student holidays when walk-ins spike, wine-harvest season when visitors flood the town, and the quieter months when regulars become the core business. That rhythm determines everything from stock ordering to staffing.
