The beauty parlour specialises in a range of services inclusive of manicures, body arts and have developed further to the production of a range of scented candles, body scrubs, bath salts, hair growth serums, body butters, perfumes and massage. “The products are all hand made by us in the spa using 100% organic products,” Gleeson highlighted. Gleeson is a fully certified beauty therapist and makeup artist. She is famously known for her extravaganza on the ramp as a plus size model and her striking rainbow hairstyles. She penetrated the beauty market as a henna artist and later expanded into other aspects of beauty. “I have been in the beauty industry for almost 10 years now and in terms of development, I have managed to open my own beauty parlour in Molepolole,” she stated. The beauty parlour plays a great role in youth empowerment as it has appointed two male therapists.
According to Gleeson who strives to always stand out, she engaged male therapists because usually in spas people hire women so when she advertised the post, most applications were from male therapists so she thought, “why not be different and have guys for therapists.” Gleeson deems beauty as a combination of qualities. According to her, it can go from aesthetic senses to character or a person’s features, either physical or non-physical. She added that the most beautiful thing a human being can have is confidence.
