Adam & Eve

came about as early as acne and awkward mood swings. At these formative years, she spend hundreds of hours in her uncle Keith Taylor’s hair salon, mastering the finer arts of hair while playing hairdresser under the watchful eye her personal mentor. It then when this now cutting-edge and professional stylist spontaneously picked her flair for the use of a pair of scissors and a colour mixing bowl. Having found that she had both a taste and a talent for it, she soon started snipping everyone’s hair for some extra cash. Needless to say it did not take long before she was sculpting eye-catching hair do’s for young and old with great enthusiasm then and ever since. Her passion for the trade was born out of more than just an appreciation for luscious locks, but rather, this charismatic and sometimes slightly nutty woman is driven by a genuine interest in the actual people who put their hair in her hands. And so, from the day she founded her business, she’s been committed to not just refreshing looks, but lifting spirits and revitalising the human soul.

“I want to inspire people by making them feel good about themselves,” says the darling owner, whose ultimate goal is to have customers leave with smiles strong enough to light everyone’s day where ever they might go. “It gives me great joy to see people happy and in love with themselves.”

The truth is, at Adam & Eve she does not run her business like a production line, the spontaneous hairdresser. She invests a massive amount of time with every client, regardless of who they are, what they’re having done or how much they’re spending. Be sure that on every visit Charlene and her team will make you feel like a celebrity so when time comes for you to go on with your day, you will believe that you are. Now it is worth mentioning, that the atmospheric hair salon based in Plettenberg bay offers the full spectrum of services – from cuts, highlights, tints and fashion colours (like the trendy ombré effect) to blow-drys, ghd curls, hair treatments, brazilian blowout and hair extensions – each and every option is carefully tailored to suit customers’ personality and lifestyle. In essence, what you get at Adam & Eve Hair is a bespoke look that couldn’t be more you.

“No two haircuts are the same,” says the charming and delightful Charlene. “It’s about putting the right style on the right person.”

And although the Richards Bay born stylist loves to experiment and get creative with her work (she devours educational material to stay on top of the latest global trends), she’s just as gifted at really listening to and understanding clients’ requests – a rare ability and a great comfort to anyone who’s ever had the frustrating experience of asking for 2cm off and losing 20. And if one of those requests happens to be an after-hours snip, shave, fringe trim, iron or style, well, Charlene and her team will accommodate busy schedules too. The edgy, unpretentious salon works on a by-appointment basis rather than having fixed opening times (hence, it’s not geared towards walk-ins), and the staff are certainly not afraid of a little evening work. You see; when you come on your ideal vocation at such a harmonious place as Plettenberg Bay, full of spirit and community with so much zest and zeal, then make an appointment with Charlene at Adam & Eve.
