The Shanga Story –The Spirit of Africa is Alive in You
A qualified Beauty Therapist and Hairdresser, with over 30 years of salon experience, I had experienced many product lines. Many with good-for-you ingredients that made the skin feel nice, but didn't deliver on results; and products that offered good results, yet with ingredients that I wasn't comfortable using on my clients. It took 10 years of research and refinement to create the Shanga line, but I have developed a range that has surpassed any other brand used in my salon / spa
I was a typical Beauty Therapist, hairdresser and salon owner. I was good at my job, and I got satisfaction from helping my clients change the way they looked and enhance their appearance.
But I always had the feeling that I could do more – to really help women to make a major shift in how they saw themselves, and so how others would see them.
I longed to be able to help make them feel so good about themselves that they would feel truly, fully alive.
I went on a trip to South Africa with a group of very inspiring people. Some were entrepreneurs, others were from different walks of life, and we formed a very strong connection from the start. That feeling of connectedness extended to the stunning natural environment which surrounded us.
‘’I truly felt at one with nature, and empowered’’
Looking out over the vast expanse of the African savannah, watching the sun setting over the majestic mountains and hearing the sounds of exotic animals during the night, I felt truly at one with nature, and empowered…I had a feeling that anything was possible, that I could do anything I set my mind to.
And it was with that feeling of boundless possibility in my heart that I decided to fulfill my true desire: to help women express their natural beauty by creating a natural beauty product range, and so help them to feel more alive – just as I did in Africa.
The guide on our trip was from the Shanga tribe, an ancient and noble people, and so it seemed natural that I would adopt that name for my new business.
The word Shanga is a reminder to me of the power I felt in my heart in the vastness of Africa, and which still inspires me today.
