Meet Ilse, Your One-on-One Hair Stylist in Vereeniging
Cedar Hair & Makeup is a private salon in Risiville built around personal attention, healthy hair and a calm appointment experience.
Born in faith, grown with care
Cedar Hair & Makeup was established during the COVID-19 outbreak through faith and obedience.
What began in a difficult season has grown into a relaxing, personal beauty space focused on healthy hair, confidence, care and one-on-one appointments.
From everyday cuts to bridal days, colour transformations and smoothing treatments, every appointment is treated as a small ritual — thoughtful, unhurried and premium.
Meet Ilse
Hi, I'm Ilse, the owner and hairstylist behind Cedar Hair & Makeup.
In 2020, God placed a dream in my heart to create more than just a salon — a peaceful space where people could feel welcomed, valued and cared for. Every client who walks through my door is treated with love, kindness and personal attention.
My passion is to enhance your natural beauty while creating a relaxing, one-on-one experience where you can take a break from the busyness of life. Whether you're visiting for a colour transformation, bridal styling, a treatment or simply a fresh cut, my prayer is that you leave feeling refreshed, confident and uplifted.
At Cedar Hair & Makeup, excellence, integrity and genuine care are at the heart of everything I do.
