The Candi&Co store is now a full-service beauty boutique consisting of 6 hair stations, 3 nails stations and a therapy room for facials, waxing and massages. Further Candi&Co. pop-up stores were also launched in Foschini stores in Sandton and Mall of Africa in December 2019 with selected nail & wig service stores.

“This partnership aims to open up the industry to all who want to look and feel beautiful without the barriers of income and location. We had been watching Candi&Co. for many years and we were impressed by their vision of revolutionising the hair industry by de-racialising hair and beauty, giving woman of all races a premium expert experience. This matched our culture of creating a unique experience for our Foschini consumer. This collaboration is one we are very excited about and look forward to rolling out in our group.” said Antenocia Gitzner, Foschini head of Cosmetics.
