"Where excellence meets hair."

OUR STORY

Bartolomeo Foti came from Italy during the Second World War and settled in Durban, South Africa where he opened a barber shop. After many years of servicing Durban and its distinguished gentlemen, his son (John Foti) took the business to a small town called Vryheid in Kwazulu Natal. In turn, his son (Carl Foti) then took over from him; and just like the generation before him, Carl’s son, our very own Donovan John Foti started his career in hairdressing at the tender age of 13.

Through many travels, business models, successes and failures, Donovan found himself in Durban once again! Refurbished in November 2012, DJ Hairdressing is a modern neighbourhood salon; offering personal and custom hair experiences by professional and talented hair stylists.

To maintain their new look, clients have the option of purchasing a range of top-notch branded products – hairsprays, gels, shampoos and more.

At Donovan John Hairdressing, we understand that it is all about team work and excellence, and being amazing at what you do.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to reach out to our community and help them look and feel better. To teach them the values of good hair.

To grow these values, not only to our community, but to the entire world. Hairdressing is bigger than just grooming one’s self.

By changing a person’s appearance we can change their outlook on life and boost self-confidence.

​

WHEN YOU LOOK GOOD, YOU FEEL GOOD.

TESTIMONIALS

" The talent and creativity at DJ Hairdressing salon knows no boundaries! Don made me my dream Magenta colour and I've loved every moment of it, I still get stopped wherever I go and everyone wants to know who did my colour!
The vibe is epic, the giggles and conversations pour like a colourful waterfall... and lets not forget to mention the vibey music and the ladies who help and at the basins! Oh my word, I've dosed off a few times at the care of their amazing head massages! If I could have given 6 stars I would have! Love you guys. "
