Ntando recently took to social media to share the exciting addition, revealing that the reading corner is one of her favourite features of the salon. The space has been thoughtfully designed to encourage a love of reading while creating a welcoming and engaging environment for young visitors.

More than just a salon experience

Since opening the doors to Sbahle Siyakhula, Ntando has been committed to creating a space that goes beyond traditional haircare services for children. The introduction of a book corner reflects her vision of providing an enriching experience that combines beauty, creativity, and learning.

Filled with a selection of children’s books, the dedicated reading area offers young clients an opportunity to relax, explore stories, and develop a love for reading while waiting for their appointments or spending time at the salon.

Encouraging a culture of reading

The addition of the kiddies book corner comes at a time when many educators and child development experts continue to stress the importance of fostering reading habits from an early age.

Reading has been shown to support language development, improve concentration, encourage creativity, and strengthen emotional intelligence in children. By incorporating books into the salon environment, Ntando hopes to create a space where learning and self-care can coexist.

A vision for community and growth

Sbahle Siyakhula, which translates to “We are beautiful, we are growing,” was founded with the intention of creating a safe, inspiring, and empowering space for children and families.

The introduction of the book corner further reinforces Ntando’s commitment to nurturing young minds while providing quality haircare services. Her approach has been praised by many parents and supporters, who have applauded the initiative for encouraging literacy and creating meaningful experiences for children.

Building more than a business

For Ntando, Sbahle Siyakhula represents more than just a business venture — it is an opportunity to positively impact children’s lives and contribute to their personal development.

As the salon continues to grow, the addition of the kiddies book corner highlights Ntando’s belief that spaces designed for children can also inspire learning, imagination, and a lifelong love of reading.
