A place to enjoy your day of beauty

POLOKWANE – Meropa Casino and Entertainment World has opened its doors to Floss Beauty Salon.

The spa is Meropa’s latest enterprise development project and started operating on Friday.

Floss was established by 28-year-old Florence Leboho, a qualified somatologist who studied at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology.

In her vision to establish a unique beauty spa in Polokwane, Leboho partnered with Meropa to open an upmarket salon that caters for women and men. She said the spa offers treatments that were usually only available in big cities like Johannesburg and Cape Town to Polokwane residents.

Some of the services include laser lipo slimming treatments, a hair salon, a nail bar for manicure and pedicures and eye lash extensions.

A treatment at Floss Beauty Salon and Spa promises to be a wonderful experience, set in the beautiful surrounds of Meropa, offering a safe and secure environment to allow customers to get treatments as conveniently as possible.

Floss will be open from 10:00 until 22:00.

Clifford Ngakane, general manager of Meropa Casino and Entertainment World, said Meropa was proud to be associated with Floss and with Leboho as founder.

“Florence is a young, dynamic, hard working businesswoman. Meropa always looks to help black female-owned enterprises to establish themselves in areas of opportunity. For Meropa, it is not only important to back a business venture, but to also back the right calibre of entrepreneur,” said Ngakane.

“Floss will add a critical component of services to our product mix. There has been a demand for beauty related treatments at the Meropa Casino complex, particularly with the rising success of Mangwanani Spa. This new addition will complement the total customer experience. Our Most Valued Guests, visitors to Town Lodge Hotel and the broader Polokwane community will love the convenience.”

Leboho said, “I am excited and thankful to Meropa Casino for believing in my vision. As an entrepreneur, it is always a challenge to find a financial backer for ventures, but organisations like Meropa offer a support structure that will see many businesses like mine flourish. Floss is proud to be creating four new permanent jobs for stylists, beauticians and technicians in Polokwane”.
