Hannon Bothma: To make someone look their best, is to focus on and enhance their best features.
Hannon Bothma was fascinated by beauty and fashion from a young age. He used to accompany his mother to Ophelia’s Hair Salon where he would sit cross-legged on the floor, mesmerized by the transformations women underwent after sitting under the cocoon hair dryers. Hannon's dream, from a young age had been a career in the fashion world. To break into the industry, Bothma offered his services as a makeup artist and hairstylist for free to the Cape Argus and various magazines, provided they credited him. At 25, he opened his first salon in Sea Point.
Bothma furthered his education at Cape Technical College, studying hairdressing and cosmetology while also apprenticing. He honed his skills by offering his services at events and training with cosmetic houses in South Africa and Belgium.
Today, Hannon Bothma co-owns the HANNON brand. He is a familiar face on television and in major fashion magazines and has been interviewed numerous times on national radio. Known for his ability to transform any woman into a stunning beauty in minutes, Bothma has become a celebrated figure in the beauty industry.
As a TV presenter, Bothma hosts makeover shows to large audiences, where he entertains, educates, and motivates women about beauty and their societal roles. His extensive knowledge of the cosmetic industry is evident in his work.
Dedicated to giving back, Bothma presents image workshops and makeover shows to various charity organizations across South Africa on a weekly basis.
