Thobile Jele, owner of the Fancy Claws beauty boutique, shares her entrepreneurial journey in an industry dependent on the human touch to make people look and feel good.
Was entrepreneurship always part of the plan?
From a young age, I have always been passionate about beauty. I used to do everyone’s hair at home. At boarding school, I made extra pocket money by braiding my schoolmates. The passion has always been there. I attended a special school and we were taught various skills including hairdressing.
