About Estilo

We’re passionate about what we do, and about keeping up with the latest trends. From continuous training with our Davines partners, to a technical approach to colour and condition, we strive to make every client feel — and look — beautiful.

Established in 2012, our senior stylists bring over 25 years of
combined experience to every chair in the studio.

What We Do

Services, mixed to suit your hair

From a Tuesday trim to a full balayage transformation — six categories of care, every one priced clearly upfront.

Cutting & Styling

Wash, cut and blow-dry for ladies, men
and kids — precision shaped to how you actually wear your hair.

Colour & Highlights

Full head, half head, foils and hand-
painted balayage — colour built up
gradually for a healthy finish.

Brazilian & Botox

Smoothing and de-frizz treatments that
condition as they straighten, lasting
three to five months.

How our clients feel

“

I’ve been a client of Benji’s for over 10 years, and have always been impressed with the amazing job she does on my hair. Her colouring and cutting skills are excellent, and she knows me really well by now. Five years ago I moved up the west coast, but I’ve never found another hairdresser of Benji’s calibre — so every few months I drive back to Lakeside.
— Tracy, client since 2014

“

Benji is an absolute whizz and a super nice person to boot!
She is the only person that I now let touch my hair after years of previous disappointments!
She took me from drab to fab with a flick of her wand, and now my grey doth slay!
Thank you Benji & team!

If you are looking for the perfect place to get your hair done in Cape Town, Estilo Hair Salon is your way to go. Get spoiled with top quality products and premium service. I was traveling and my hair needed some care after enjoying the beautiful beaches from Cape Town. This place is amazing and Benji and her staff were just the nicest people ever. Thank you for spoiling me, for all the great tips and recommendations on how to keep my hair healthy during my traveling, and for making my stay at South Africa just more memorable and special on your salon.
